You should take it as a challenge without attaching any petty feelings to it.

Quote from: Carlos Castaneda

The basic difference between an ordinary person and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary person takes everything as a blessing or a curse.

A warrior might take up everything as a challenge but a strategist chooses his battles wisely.

The moment you lose your nerve is when you have lost the battle that is between you and your self-importance. You're referring to human wars/battles which is a completely different thing. The battle I'm talking about is within you not between you and me. You can either defend Ripple here or not --- it's up to you --- but your choice should be free of petty feelings, which apparently it wasn't, since you're referring to Ripple's opponents with a negative superficial generalisation.
