The weapon is the path, the path is the weapon, only through continuous practice and repetition does one know the path. The path is a journey, there is no destination, only by walking the path can you embark on the journey...
I have always been a focused person, a bit prone to extremes. This is something that I've always thought of as a negative thing but now, I realize that this is not the case. When directed towards a goal worth pursuing, a goal that is not actually attainable, but one who's pursuit towards reaps great benefit. To become the perfect swordsman, to unendingly practice and criticize one's own technique. To accept nothing short of perfection of oneself, that is a worthy path to walk. To forge oneself as a hammer forges the blade.
The path is a journey, there is no destination.
