Re: Did Aikido fail you in "real life"?
Alright, Im going to add this:
Though Aikido has so far never failed me, I believe that I have failed aikido many times. I have lost my temper many times with many people (off the mat and sometimes though I had a right to be angry, most times I did not). I have been rude to some people, a general c*ck to others. I have lied and cheated and talked badly about others. I have let pride/ego influence me far too much.
Theres probably more, but you know. It's a start. Im trying to be a better person. Doesnt always work.
