3hitKO Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 What are your opinions on Bushido (Way of the Samurai/Warrior) Does anybody try to follow these values in their everyday life? These are, roughly: Gi - Rectitude Yu - Courage Jin - Benevolence Rei - Respect Makoto - Honesty Meiyo - Honor Chugi - Loyalty *Gi-Yu-Jin-Rei-Makoto-Meiyo-Chugi*"Life in every breath...""That is...Bushido.""Hai."
fangshi Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 To be honest I never really understood the whole "way of the warrior " thing . I mean the set of values that you have listed are pretty much universally true for all religous , spiritual and/or ethical ways of thinking . As with the overwhelming majority of the people I know I try to follow such values as I feel that they are a proper etiquite (sp?) for all , but feel that I have very little in common with the samurai warriors of days gone by . We are not so much individual beings as individual points of perception within one immense being.
3hitKO Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 you have a point...I guess im just a samurai nerd *Gi-Yu-Jin-Rei-Makoto-Meiyo-Chugi*"Life in every breath...""That is...Bushido.""Hai."
JKDkid2 Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 i like those values i also try to by them as well samurai are cool saw Last Samurai mad times lol
aefibird Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 The values of honesty, honour, respect etc are things that are good for anyone to try and live by, whether or not they are deliebratly following the Bushido or no.
