Paulo CoelhoA Warrior knows that an angel and a devil are both competing for his sword hand. The devil says: "You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid."

The devil continues: "Let me help you." And the angel says: "I will help you." At that moment the Warrior understands the difference.
