“A warrior knows that he cannot change, and yet he makes it his business to try to change, nevertheless. The warrior is never disappointed when he fails to change. That’s the only advantage a warrior has over the average man.” ~CC
Why would a warrior make it his business to change if he could not? And for that matter, why bother attempting to change, if we cannot?
I think, as ive meditated on this one many times, he meant at the core we stay the same. But everything else changes. Our self importance. we shut down the internal dialog, we erase our personal history. Those things we change. But there is a part of us from birth on that is unchannging and static. This is I believe what he meant. And in our frustration with not being able to change, lol, we laugh, and not be disappointed.
