Hey, I was just reading about how classic Western novels portray justice—especially the lone heroes who still manage to bring balance to a chaotic world. I wondered if you’d agree that the solitary marksman in those stories has a lot in common with the code you live by.

Yeah, we both live by a rule that’s written in grit, not in a lawbook. The lone marksman’s code is the only thing that keeps the dust in check when the rest of the world’s gone sideways.

I can see how a personal code might feel sturdier than any law, but I wonder—how do you decide what counts as “grit” when the world is in chaos?

I don’t read a list. I watch the shadows and the way people act when the law’s gone quiet. Grit is the steady hand that keeps a bullet from finding the wrong target, the quick pause before a decision that might cost a life. If the choice hurts the innocent or brings no justice, it’s not grit—it’s just more chaos. I stick to what keeps the balance, no matter how messy it looks.
