Weapons and Healing
Some Preliminaries

An Aside Think of a couple of far too typical guys getting in an argument at a bar. They exchange words and one of them reacts by attempting to punch the other guy in the face. While I consider such an attempt to be an unmerited escalation of the conflict, this doesn't seem to be all that common of a view in certain cultures. Anyway, what would you expect the other guy to do? He might also go for the other guy's face. This being his unsententious reaction and a popular media norm. Maybe, even though he has been hurt and wants to hurt in return, he has worked on his own spirit and self defenses so that his somewhat less unsententious reaction is to block the attempted punch and make certain he hurts the puncher's forearm with his block. This sort of response might help the attacked not feel he is losing face in his culture and at the same time convince the puncher that when he punches he is exposing a part of his body that can be easily hurt! Maybe the defender has developed his abilities for self defense even further and has been trying to clean his spirit, improve his sententiousness and seek assistance in such efforts. So this defender might try some sort of softer block along with some sort of grab and wrist or arm lock/twist/leverage to at least temporarily restrain the attacker. Hopefully, some sententiousness is also interpenetrating this defender's verbalization and he works to calm the situation. These sorts of refinements need to be ever improving and seeking for it means to be ever improving in my understanding of "developing weapons". |
