He tries to encourage them to do the things they would like to do but for which they lack the courage; at such times, the Enemy appears holding two wooden signs in his hand.
On one sign is written: 'Think about yourself. Keep all the blessings for yourself, otherwise you'll end up losing everything.'
On the other sign, he reads: 'Who do you think you are, helping other people? Can't you see your own faults?'
A warrior knows that he has faults. But he knows too that he cannot do his growing alone and thus distance himself from his companions.
Therefore, he throws the two signs to the floor, even if he thinks they may contain a grain of truth. The signs crumble into dust, and the warrior continues to encourage those nearest him.
