Let's not Glorify Weapons.

What is purpose of learning Martial Arts?

1. For Health,
2. For Slim Silhouette.
3. For Protection.

Where's border between Protection & Arms Race, however?

... i think Protection should be constrained within:
1. Minimum Force Approach,
2. Wisdom,
3. Compassion.

A wise friend, Nerialka on DeviantART - introduced me to a Song, many years ago.
... a Sarcastic, French Song about Glorifying Weapons.





... Martial Arts are also weapons, i think - different, harsher laws apply to those who abuse
Martial Arts - thankfully, i think.

Purpose.

Is it possible for me to become nice, gentle, well-mannered, well-behaved, nice-looking,
nice-smelling, ... human again?

... is it possible for me to be as a buddhist woman i Love wants/needs/wishes me to be?

... is it possible for me to meet her and talk with her after i am 'humanized' that way?


At young age, i've trained ... focused on real combat & meditation ... assuming that sooner or later, i'll be nice looking, as martial artists on films are.


... nothing happens without cause, however ... i've assumed too much.


i prioritize love & gentleness over brutality ... so i won't practice martial arts if it endangers my higher priorities.


... i feel i owe going to martial arts clubs i've trained in in past, to appear there and exchange lessons.


... i do not need to showoff, however ... i do not want to endanger love.

... i think that being gentle, being nice, being compassionate & wise is the way to be truly worthy of love.
