Bushida? Yay or Nay?


Bushida, a Japanese warrior class for men that were skilled in martial arts. They had no fear in death and would enter any battle no matter the odds. Ever heard of them? Well probably not, because they don't exist in the United States. Only in Japan when it formed during the 9th and 12th century. Would you of been a Bushida?

If you said yes, why don't you take some time to think about it. Seriously.

Your way of everyday thinking could be affected. A Samurai would rather kill himself than bring shame and disgrace to his family name and/or lord. Would our lord be President Obama? hmm, i don't know either.. But the Samurai would seppuku themselves, also known as 'disembowelment'. It's when a Samurai stabs a knife into his gut and literally disembowels himself. Which is so disgusting!!! Then a kinsman or a friend of the Samurai would slice off his head to complete the suicide!! This was considered an act of true honor! Pretty crazy, huh?
You can't just call yourself a Samurai, you have to fully worship The Samurai Creed.. It's mainly just about you have absolutely nothing until you accomplish and make everything needed to live and survive yourself.. If you still think you can be a Samurai, change your mind yet?
Bushido has influenced many different things, like Buddhism and Buddhism has influenced Bushido. To be Bushido you must have pacification of the emotions, tranquil compliance with the inevitable, self control in the face of any event, have a more intimate exploration of death than of life, and have pure poverty. Still up for being Bushido?
Bushido is definately NOT in our lifestyle. It's the total opposite. I mean theres Buddist people but no where around where I'm from. I don't think I would want to live around those kind of people anyway. I probably wouldn't sleep ever. Be way to afraid. AHHHHH! :/
