another day in the life.

howdy potential readers,

decided instead of being a downer today like the day merited but a history lesson in my favorite kinds of persons in history... the samurai.

now i am sure you have seen pictures of them, now a bit about them, probably have seen the sword they are famous for carrying. but did you know that the samurai hung their sword blade up? i am going to assume you said know and explain why.

according to the samurai it was dishonorable to unsheathe their weapon unless they drew blood; either theirs or their enemies. so if they didn't draw blood when they drew their blade they would draw it across their thumb as they put it away.

today's moral: just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. honor is stronger then muscle, and know matter who you are or where you are from be humble to all around you. you never know who might be holding their sword, trying to stay their hand.

aloha,
