20. Rage Adds Strength to your Arm

but harms your Aim. Rage puts power in your Cut and your Thrust, but impairs your Ability to parry, counter and riposte. Rage clouds your Judgment, spoils your Ability to pick a Target, and ultimately weakens your Endurance. Fight calmly, control your Emotions. Do not hate nor fear, but face all Foes with a calm Mind and good Courage.

Do not suffer yourself to be abused, nor should you abuse others. If Someone shall abuse you, call him out, fight him bravely, and beat him calmly. If you see Someone being abused and they cannot help themselves, aid them, for in this World what we do for Others will come back to us.

As far as Hate is concerned, be wary of it. Hatred is often used as a Tool, to incite Men to do Things against their true Interests.
