“ Closeness to family doesn't make a warrior weak - And sacrificing yourself isn’t the the only Last Military Option ” - 🐺 IAM '' in '' Love

 A warrior who knows what they love — and has the discipline not to be controlled by it — is often the most dangerous, the most stable, and the most human fighter in Combat.

We Oppose Hypnotic Regression - WARNING !!!!

A warrior’s relationship to family has always been a point of tension across cultures, and different traditions have interpreted it in radically different ways. Some argued that closeness makes a fighter weak; others saw it as the very thing that keeps a fighter grounded and dangerous. The truth sits somewhere more nuanced — and far more human.

1. Why some traditions saw family as a liability

Certain warrior cultures — Spartans, monastic orders, revolutionary cells — believed emotional closeness compromised operational reliability. Their logic was simple:

• Family creates leverage that enemies can exploit.

• Emotional bonds can cloud judgment in moments requiring extreme, irreversible action.

• Divided loyalty between mission and kin can fracture discipline.

In that worldview, “weakness” wasn’t about emotion itself — it was about anything that could disrupt decisiveness under pressure.

2. Why that view is incomplete

Human beings don’t become stronger by amputating their emotional core. In fact, closeness to family can:

• Anchor a warrior’s purpose, preventing nihilism or moral drift.

• Increase resilience by reminding them what they’re protecting, not just what they’re fighting.

• Serve as a moral boundary that prevents dehumanization and indiscriminate violence.

History is full of warriors, leaders, and revolutionaries whose fiercest strength came from the people they loved.

3. The real distinction: discipline vs. entanglement

The issue isn’t closeness — it’s unmanaged attachment.

• Undisciplined attachment leads to hesitation, fear, and vulnerability to manipulation.

• Disciplined attachment produces clarity, resolve, and controlled force.

A warrior who cannot act because of family is compromised. A warrior who acts with family in mind — without being ruled by that bond — is often more focused, more grounded, and more formidable.

4. Modern reality

Contemporary conflict, psychology, and military science all point to the same conclusion: enforced emotional detachment is not only unrealistic, it’s corrosive. Systems that demand total severance from family often produce:

• Burnout

• Moral injury

• Loss of judgment

• Unaccountable or chaotic violence

In today’s world, emotional isolation is more likely to break a warrior than strengthen them.

Conclusion

Closeness to family does not inherently weaken a warrior. Unmanaged attachment does. Disciplined attachment strengthens.

A warrior who knows what they love — and has the discipline not to be controlled by it — is often the most dangerous, the most stable, and the most human fighter on the field.

Only by moving through curves can ye escape them .

Seek not to break open the gate to beyond

Rather should ye seek to gain of thine own light and make thyself ready to pass on the way.”
