より良く生きること自体は，決して間違いではない。しかし，その「より良く」というのが，自分が贅沢をすること，自分を誇示すること，自分の思い通りに支配することだとすれば，誰もその人を尊敬しない。むしろ，贅沢や誇示や支配のような我欲を捨てる。「私」にこだわりのない人は，他人に施し，他人に優しい。これを「良し」として生きる人に，人はついていく。武を極めれば，禅やタオに通じ，やがて「私」はなくなる。それこそが最強の兵法である。
To live a better life itself is definitely not wrong. But, if the "better" life means enjoying luxury for oneself, flaunting oneself, and dominating others according to one's own demands, no one will not respect such a person who wants to live that life. Rather, let go of selfish desires as luxury, flaunt, and domination. A person who is not attached to himself/herself will give his/her charity to others and be kind to others. People will follow such a person who think this is a "better" life. If you thoroughly practice and master martial arts, you will be connected to Zen and the Tao, and your "I (self)" eventually will disappear. That is just he strongest art of warfare.
