Your family and Samura have something in common. We both want protect and upkeep, respect and honor the old ways, the ways our fathers and their fathers before them used to uphold. But this is not an easy task as have already seen. Foreign influence tends to corrupt men if they are not careful and those influences should not be underestimated. Samura stands tall and firm for protecting Kusari heritage because when we are long gone and no more all that remains of us are the good deeds we did, during our short stay in this lands, to better our Kusari for the generations to come.
