Polish up your writing style a bit and you could make a living at it.
The path to becoming an honorable person is a tough one. I tend towards
western believes of good, evil and guilt and I do not find the concept
of face as practiced by Japan to be honorable. I.E. if no one saw the
evil deed then nothing happened.
The code of Bushido evolved after the bloody civil wars that united
Japan. It was a method to stop the underlings from thinking about
revolting against their superiors.
I will once again bow to my western roots and state that I find the
western concept of chivalric knight to be much more honorable.
The books and topics recommended are all good ones, get thee to a library!
