I’ve seen the word “warrior” become gibberish, describing everything from talented military sociopaths to vapidly smiling spiritualists. To me it is two actions:
A) Intentionally gathering strength through discomfort and self-examination
B) Using that strength to aid others
If “A” is done one moment, then “B” in another, then for those two moments I consider the doer a warrior. It is such a fleeting thing though, that giving anybody the title of “warrior” is laughable. To me it is a code to be quietly upheld, moment to moment, rather than some holy, bravodo-filled decree.
Warriors in generally don’t call attention to themselves. They act to protect the weak and defenseless while holding themselves to a higher standard of conduct. I agree with your definitions. 🙂

Insightful, I have never really considered that word, but I find your definition quite true, and will use the word as such
