Seriously though, I too have found some surprising illuminations from training again. I suppose I'm striving for the optimum, that way, if I fall short, I can still achieve something better.
I quote Elvis Costello...."What's so funny bout peace, love and understanding?"

Michael:
As a father and grandfather, there is nothing more important to me than trying to leave this world as a safer, more peaceful place for my children and their children to live in. I am profoundly disturbed by the state of the world today. My using Aikido as my vehicle to help achieve my stated goals might have nothing to do with having to address world problems in which peace, love and understanding unfortunately don't fit. I may love peace and I may seek understanding where ignorance exists, however, if a person is attacking me, all of that goes out the window until I can insure that my safety is secured.

ps- Do you want soup or egg roll with that order?
