this meme is funny but also it is reminding me of a scene from Vagabond—where Musashi and Ittōsai meet after much experience and proving of themselves, and where Musashi finally is developing beyond his self while Ittōsai is trapped in ego. But Ittōsai sees the scars and recognizes the experience and depth in Musashi’s appearance. Apologies for the cut-and-paste bastardized layout.
