It happened fast and of course it did.
People often say that once you truly master your own craft, whether it is arts, sports, strategy, or even murder, you reach a state that separates you from ordinary people. You enter a flow state where the mind becomes unnaturally calm and focused, stripped of hesitation, doubt, and emotion, leaving only movement, timing, and intent. In that state, you are no longer thinking about what you are doing… you are simply doing it, flawlessly and without resistance, whether that means creating something beautiful or ending a life.
Artists, athletes and many walk a thin line within this state, able to draw, paint or dribble through countless players, while those who are trained to murder can take a life in seconds and move through the worst situations as if time itself has slowed around them.
