Re: Breaking a man's spirit
In an unecessary rage, I've been the breaker. I think it takes a certain mindset to be OK with being the sort of person who collapses another mans will so brutally, that they leave town and never return. I'm not OK with being that person. And yes, it's more effective long-term than just putting the beatdown on him.
As a kid, I had the experience of being on the recieving end of the break; I've never put myself in that situation again. But, interestingly, I keep an eye opened for the bastard who broke it, and I do plan on returning the pain of brutality and humiliation the next time I see him, even if it's 90-years old in Liesure World. So I'm not convinced that broken spirits don't come back to haunt you.

Clear mind, clear movement. Mastery of the Arts is mastery over the Self. That in this moment, this motion, the thoughts, memories, impulses and passions that cloud the mind must yield to the clarity of purpose, and purity of motion.
