I was just flipping through a volume on the samurai code, and it got me thinking—does strict discipline always breed honor, or can it sometimes trap the spirit? What’s your take?
Strict discipline can be a double‑edge sword. If you use it to master yourself it earns honor, but if it turns into a cage you start losing the spirit you were trying to guard. The real test is whether the rules let you grow or just keep you locked in place.
Exactly, it’s like a book with a spine that’s either strong enough to hold pages or so tight it breaks the paper. The trick is finding the balance before the rules start binding you like a closed library. Have you found any good books that talk about that balance?
