Killing someone without splitting oneself from the feelings that the act engenders requires an effort of supreme consciousness that, quite frankly is beyond most humans. Killing is what warriors do for society. Yet when they return home, society doesn’t generally acknowledge that act it asked them to do created a deep split in their psyches, or a psychological and spiritual weight most of them will stumble beneath the rest of their lives. Warriors must learn how to integrate the experience of killing, to put the pieces of their psyches back together again. For the most part, they have been left to do this on their own. (p. 26)
