Philosophies! what do you think of pride, glory, etc. martial arts, etc?
Philosophies! what is pride, glory, and what do martial arts fight for? As well as the elements of the spirit and the mind?
Let's see, *flip flip flip*
PRIDE is a high opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.
Do you think Pride is a cause of conflict and an exaggeration of one's significance?
I don't believe in pride in my life, I avoid being proud of things. I think that keeps me level headed. Because I feel people who are proud, are the most sensitive to insults and easily get upset when things don't go their way, or someone performs better than they do.
Well more on that later hmm.....
GLORY is something that is a source of honor, fame, or admiration.
what is honor?
HONOR is honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions.
what is integrity?
INTEGRITY is attachment to moral and ethical principles.
MORALITY = conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.
VIRTUE= righteousness
"The martial arts are both art and science. The word “art" is defined as the activity of creating beautiful things and the word “science" is defined as a methodological activity, discipline, or study". While these two definitions are correct, I prefer the contributions of an anonymous poet: “Art is a passion pursued with discipline science is a discipline pursued with passion". At their most basic level, the martial arts are nothing more than ways to prevent someone from harming or killing you. At their highest aspiration, the martial arts are paths to self-knowledge and the expression of beauty.
There are three aspects of being, which the martial arts aim to develop: Body, Mind and Spirit.
*The true martial artist is humble but confident, willing to give way to others but unwilling to accept injustice.
*Self-improvement and self-defense are as more important than winning trophies.
*There is no honor in defeating a much weaker opponent; Your real opponent is your own lack of self-control."
Oh wow. I been typing this up, and I'm starting to learn some things already! But it would help to receive input from others how they feel about things like pride, and what people
fight for, what's worth fighting for, what is victory? Oh ya, What IS victory?
VICTORY a success or triumph over an enemy in battle or war.
So when someone says they fight for victory, in what would normally be considered
a sport. Is that true? What is the true victory?
Well please share your philosophies on these.
