Life is short and it's meant to be lived to its fullest. I've heard this early in my life, but I've started to think of it as a life mantra. It's taken numerous mid-life crises to realize it's best to live a life without regrets. One thing I've always wanted to learn, since I was a kid, was how to be an honorable sword fighter. As luck would have it, I finally found a group of like minded sword fighters. Sword fighting puts life into perspective. It can be short or it can be long, but how you live it is only up to the person living it. Live life to the fullest, but still show patience, respect, and awareness towards yourself and others.
