In my case, the concept of a warrior-like perspective is the virtual antithesis of how I look at my life. Rather than living like a warrior, I am much keener on the idea of living life like a voyager, striving to understand the world around me. When I was younger, I thought I knew everything. As I’ve reached midlife, I’ve taken extreme comfort in the realization that by shedding absolutes, I also shed expectations. I am less judgmental. I am more focused on not just listening, but hearing.
I don’t think I have the strength to look at life or the reality of its conclusion as an adversary, one who I need to be on guard against perpetually.
This quote was meant to stimulate one’s desire to appreciate life in the moment, as there are no guarantees of a tomorrow!
Your eloquent description of your philosophy about life does not argue with me – rather, it’s another aspect of living fully in the moment.
Thank you for the engagement. I look forward to more opinions from you.

Just one guy’s opinion. :-)

Shameless promotion time: If you have a chance, my blog, middaymidlife.com is my chronicle of my own experiences.
I recently started it when I was surprised to see the dearth of writing on the subject from a male perspective. If you have time, wander on over.
Best, Jon
