Imaginary Dialogues (1)

This last weekend I helped to test and graduate a few dozen new black belts for my karate school. Some very impressive martial arts were performed— none, it must be admitted, by me.

In addition to the physical aspects of kenpo, our students are required to acquaint themselves with martial arts classics such as Sun Tzu’s Art of War and Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi.

Thinking about which generated the following imaginary dialogue.

SUN TZU: What you fail to understand is that it isn’t all about the killing.

MUSASHI: It damn well is about the killing!
