Re: Training in other schools of aikido

I had a friend. His parents wanted him to study law and to become an attorney and later a politician. My friend wanted to become academician, he loved mathematics and physics. He went to the university and managed to graduate with a double degrees, law and science. He never become an attorney; after graduation, he joined a NGO and became a science and maths teacher to children in a third world country. I guessed his parents were disappointed and felt betrayed by their only son. If they knew what he was planning to do, they would not have given him an education..

So he used deception to gain an education. That's the same that you're doing.

As far as this all being "subjective." I thought honesty was a part of the code that we're all following. Once we all agree that that's the code we follow, then all subjectivity is settled. Dishonesty is wrong. Hiding information that may cause you not to get what you want is dishonest.

So is honesty a part of your code or not?
