shout as loudly

“In large−scale strategy, at the start of battle we shout as loudly as possible. During the fight, the voice is low−pitched, shouting out as we attack. After the contest, we shout in the wake of our victory. These are the three shouts. … In single combat, we make as if to cut and shout ‘Ei!’ at the same time to disturb the enemy, then in the wake of our shout we cut with the long sword. We shout after we have cut down the enemy this is to announce victory. This is called ‘sen go no koe’ (before and after voice). We do not shout simultaneously with flourishing the long sword. We shout during the fight to get into rhythm. Research this deeply.” - Miyamoto Musashi, Go Rin no Sho [五輪書, 1643]

Comment: When avoidance and deescalation and in some cases a more political means of avoidance fails we sometimes have to utilize skills that result in violence, bodily harm and death. As a violent species that has not as yet evolved and as far as I can see will never truly remove conflict and violence from human nature we have tried hard to disconnect ourselves from that nature. All of what nature provided has its purposes and to discard them as not useful merely opens the door to greater conflict, greater violence and greater violent conflict.  Take a look at our history, both distant and recent, and you will find that conflict and violence are not gone. It is to our detriment and existence that we go if we fail to accept our true nature.
