The Latin root of the word 'responsibility' reveals its true meaning: the capacity to respond, to react. A responsible warrior is one who has proved able to observe and to learn. He is even capable of being 'irresponsible'. Sometimes, he has allowed himself to be carried along by a situation, without responding or reacting. But he always learned his lesson; he took a stance, listened to advice and was humble enough to accept help. A responsible warrior is not someone who takes the weight of the world on his shoulders, but someone who has learned to deal with the challenges of the moment.

First: God is sacrifice. Suffer in this life and you will be happy in the next. Second: People who have fun are childish. Remain tense at all times. Third: Other people know what is best for us because they have more experience. Fourth: Our duty is to make other people happy. We must please them even if that means making major sacrifices. Fifth: We must not drink from the cup of happiness; we might get to like it and we won't always have it in our hands. Sixth: We must accept all punishments. We are guilty. Seventh: Fear is a warning. We don't want to take any risks. These are the commandments that no warrior of light can obey. The warrior of light is a believer. Because he believes in miracles, miracles begin to happen. Because he is sure that his thoughts can change his life, his life begins to change. Because he is certain that he will find love, that love appears. Now and then, he is disappointed. Sometimes, he gets hurt. Then he hears people say: 'He's so ingenuous!' But the warrior knows that it is worth it. For every defeat, he has two victories in his favour. All believers know this.

The warrior of light pays attention to small things because they can severely hamper him. A thorn, however tiny, can cause the traveller to halt. A tiny, invisible cell can destroy a healthy organism. The memory of a past moment of fear allows cowardice to be reborn with each new morning. A fraction of a second opens the way for the enemy's fatal blow. The warrior is attentive to small things. Sometimes he is hard on himself, but he prefers to act in this way. 'The devil is in the detail,' says one of the Tradition's old proverbs. Tobias Barreto): Graça Aranha ► Alberto Santos-Dumont ► Celso Vieira ► Maurício Campos de Medeiros ► José Américo de Almeida ► José Sarney A warrior of light always has a second chance in life. Like all other men and woman, he was not born knowing how to use a sword; he made many mistakes before he discovered his Personal Legend. No warrior can sit down by the fire and tell the others: 'I always did the right thing.' Anyone who says this is lying and has not yet learned to know himself. The true warrior of light has committed injustices in the past. But as he proceeds on his journey, he realises that the people with whom he did not behave correctly always cross his path again. It is his chance to right the wrong he did them, and he always, unhesitatingly, seizes that chance.

The friends of the warrior of light ask him where he draws his energy from. He says: 'From the hidden enemy.' His friends ask who that is. The warrior responds: 'Someone we can no longer hurt.' It might be a boy who beat him in a childhood scrap, the girlfriend who left him when he was eleven, the teacher who said he was stupid. When he is tired, the warrior reminds himself that these enemies have still not seen his courage. He does not consider revenge, because the hidden enemy is no longer part of his story. He thinks only of improving his skills so that his deeds will be known throughout the world and reach the ears of those who have hurt him in the past. Yesterday's pain is the warrior of light's strength.I always believe everything anyone tells me and I'm always disappointed,' his companions say. It is important to trust people; a warrior of light is not afraid of disappointments because he knows the power of his sword and the strength of his love. However, he imposes certain limits: it is one thing to accept God's signs and to know that the angels use the mouths of other people to give us advice. It is quite another to be incapable of making decisions and to be always looking for ways of letting others tell us what we should do. A warrior trusts other people because, first and foremost, he trusts himself.
