A samurai or Japanese solider had the duty of avenging the murder of his lord. When the samurai cornered the man who had committed the murder and was about to plunge his sword into him, the man in the corner – in all his terror – spat in the warrior’s face. The samurai sheathed his sword and walked away. He was angry. Now had the warrior killed him it would have been a personal act rather than an impersonal act of vengeance. –Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth May it be our deepest wish that we banish thoughts of hurting another for the sole purpose of avenging our ego.
