But when you deal with the world more directly, I suggest the caretaker personality of the warrior. The warrior is calm and efficient. The warrior uses discipline. The warrior is happy. The weapon of the warrior is laughter. The warrior learns to be impeccable, to use her or his life as a way of attaining liberation. The warrior also is always at the beck and call of others. The warrior can be of service - think of King Arthur and his knights with their code of chivalry, certain standards. While the commoners in the land may have fallen down to the lower depths, you rise above that, and even while others may not be interested in nobility of the soul, courage, valor, self-giving, sacrifice, dedication, kindness to others, and protecting those who are weak, the warrior does these things.
In a trashed-out world, the warrior shines in armor - the samurai in the true sense of the term.
