the great enemy that is called "I" desires self-preservation.  with hands, one enacts the violence necessary for self-preservation.  for these reasons, the great enemy lives in your hands.  but left to instinct, they will thrash about meaninglessly, and the only violence enacted will be against you.  for what do hands know of discipline?  discipline is found in the teachings sealed in your mind and heart.  you must allow the teachings to break free and flow into the rest of you.  allow your mind and heart to reach your hands.  the desire for self-preservation will inform your discipline, and likewise your discipline will subdue the instinct to thrash.  in this way, your acts of violence will be well-measured.  this is unity. this is destruction of the great enemy that is called "I."
