Re: Problem with another aikidoka.

From the book; "Zen In The Martial Arts" by Joe Hyams,
page 39 to 40.

Following are snipets of a larger converstion Mr. Silliphant had with Bruce Lee and Joe Hyams.

"It is the most precious commodity we have.....I always view my time as divided into infinite moments or transactions or contracts. Anyone who steals my time is stealing my life because they are taking my existence from me.....As I get older I realize that time is the only thing I have left......I have limited my friends to those with whom time passes happily......The choice of how I spend my time is mine. and it is not dictated by social convention."

You are choosing to waste your time and the money you are paying to practice Aikido by letting this person steal your time.
