More from Bo-Yin-Ra:
This is what I call muscular pacifism.
Lead a life of kindness and compassion—
free of fear—but never let compassion undermine
the energies you need to keep yourself
protected. (128)
Show kindness always and to all things having
life; but kindness toward the tiger is a
well-aimed shot; for even what you must destroy
should not be made to suffer. (129)
