Good behavior is not required for self-approval, not so that we can see ourselves as little princes or princesses. The purpose of good behavior is to convey our respect to others. Therefore, we need to worry about how we behave. When someone enters the room, we should say hello or stand up and greet the person with a handshake. These rituals are precisely related to being more attentive to others. We exercise and develop self-control in order to expand and get closer to other people. This is the basis of the principles of the warrior's way. This discipline is important to avoid arrogance.
