"You don't need to worry about how that is/is done/will be done/works, etc."

Is there anything more demeaning than that?

Or things like..

"Its a business concern, you don't need to think about that"

That's the modern day equivalent to "don't worry your pretty little head about that" and is likewise a matter of control and serves only to remove ownership.

How is the relevant to Aikido?  "Trust sensei without question" is along those same lines.  It is one thing to acknowledge that one may not have the background to understand what is going on, it is another to also them to decide to avoid giving the background, or at least to delineate it.

Why should one trust someone who doesn't trust you?  I guess they could ask me the same question, eh?  So how does trust ever begin?]]></body>
