Let me tell you one story here, of a Samurai Warrior, a Japanese warrior, who had The Duty to avenge the murder of his overlord.
And he actually, after some time, found and cornered the man who had murdered his overlord.
And he was about to deal with him with his samurai sword, when this man in the corner,
in The Passion of Terror, spat in his face.
And The Samurai sheathed The Sword
and walked away.
WHY Did He Do That?
BILL MOYERS:
Why?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL:
Because, he was made ANGRY, and if he had killed that man then, it would have been
A PERSONAL Act,
of another kind of act,
and
That’s NOT What He Had Come to DO.
