I do take the name "Karna" or "Karan"...
a bit personally.... i think 'names' are expectations of parents..from a kid..
... the name 'Karan'....is of 'loyalty'..and grace..
i think Karna could and would have won the war of "Mahabharata"..
single handedly..
Arjuna : needed Krishna to learn..
but Karna : did not need him..
he had his religion of grace : to decide for him..
sure it is not all 'white'...his acts and choices..
but if you think about it : his choices : none..
yet his 'dharma' : unblemished and undeniable..
i think it is ryu vs ken : in much complex form..
Karna knew he could 'win'..
but his 'win' : was his 'defeat'..
i think story of Karna : has much more insights than 'Gita'..
The Gita was told in verbose to make simplified choices for a student of life..
master of skill..
but Karna : was already master of both : he dint have teachers : just equals.
