Quotes from the same author
“To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.”
“The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.”

What the warrior renounces is anything in his experience that is a barrier between himself and others. In other words, renunciation is making yourself more available, more gentle and open to others.
