The Ancient Levels of Fighting

3: Manly

If someone threatens you, you threaten him back. You attack out of defence. Righteous. Sympathetic. Very risky but sometimes worth it.

2: Earthly

Steady like a rock. You absorb their force, and throw it straight back at them. Like a mirror, or a brick wall. Very noble & lawful. You can get hurt but only just.

1: Heavenly

Smoothly deflecting any oncoming force, you disperse it with minimal impact. You have the confidence to take a punch and not hit back. Dampening the hard moves of the attacker, like water or air resistance. There is an atmosphere, but no surface. Always backing down; never fronting. Full of love.

0: Godly

Avoiding the fight before it starts. You keep away. The way of fighting without actually fighting. Perfect.

 

In love, we don't fight, and don't need to.

In law, we do fight, but don't need to.

In rights, we do fight, and do need to.

In property, we do fight, and if they don't fight back, we cheat and get to them anyway.

Lose peace, get love.

Lose love, get law.

Lose law, get rights.

Lose rights, get property.

We keep things when we lose faith.

We big up when we get stupid.

So the wise man sticks to the point. No more.

To keep it real. To cut the crap.
