My dear,

Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance.

The dance is the ideal. People must not be given swords before they’ve learnt how to enjoy life and its movement. People must not be given swords before they’ve discovered the inner strength required to publicly and foolishly dance with judgemental gazes thrust upon them.

…The dance is the ideal.

The man given a sword prematurely will never hear the music. And a deaf man with a blade of death in his hands is a dangerous man to be around; be he friend or not.

Falsely yours,
Confucius
