Awesome blog you got here. Keep up the great work, a lot of it is really enlightening. Hope it starts to get more hits, definitely deserves it. I’ll probably comment on some of your entries if you don’t mind.

To be completely honest, I probably I read that story about the Zen master three times. I don’t completely understand it yet, but like you said, understanding comes with experience.

There are so many great lessons to be learned from feudal Japan. I’m in the process of reading the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green, great stuff, I highly recommend it. The author uses historical examples to explain how these 48 laws of power have always applied to this world. There are tons of great examples specifically from Chinese and Japanese history. You should check it out, I’d really like to hear your opinion on his writing.
