Bushido is
realised in the presence of death. In the case of having to choose between life
and death you should choose death. There is no other reasoning. Move on with
determination. To say dying without attaining ones aim is a foolish sacrifice of
life is the flippant attitude of the sophisticates in the Kamigata area. In such
a case it is difficult to make the right judgment. No one longs for death. We
can speculate on whatever we like. But if we live without having attaining that
aim, we are cowards. This is an important point and the correct path of the
Samurai. When we calmly think of death morning and evening and are in despair,
We are able to gain freedom in the way of the Samurai. Only then can we fulfill
our duty without making mistakes in life.
