“There can be different types of bonds in life, with different people. But, no bond is less important than the other. And no matter you may not have a certain kind of bond other people have, you can have other types of bonds those people cannot have.

And there's more to it – when you don't have a certain type of needful bond, the other bonds you have formed with different people, all of them double (it is like, when one is born blind, their other four senses are doubled).

So, I know it is hard, but you must not grieve over what you do not have. Instead, try to embrace what you already have.

Do not feel alone or lost. What you are lacking, is added to other types of relationships, and of course, it may not feel the same way as it would if you had a certain bond, but it is not gone, it is still there, only, in another form...

Preserve your bonds and fight to protect them – that is the path of a Blade Warrior...”

“If you erased your past mistakes, you could purge your regrets with them, but you’d also wipe any lessons learned and any subsequent maturity gained. Don’t regret the minefields you stepped into, just try and learn not to step into the same one twice.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Bushidō is about experiencing life in every breath. Seeing life in the simplest of things. There is beauty and honor in that.”

“Maybe it’s time for the fighter to be fought for, for the holder to be held, and for the lover to be loved.
