Re: How to be non-competitive in a competitive world

Some thoughts for you Andrew. From the view of transcendence, which I believe Ueshiba's aiki is, it moves beyond competition.

This brings about a new,more enlightened view and understanding.

Yet with this comes the fact of destruction and thus a very budo thing.

Love destroys fear, kindness destroys ego, stillness destroys chaos and brings about harmonious flow, calmness slices through confusion, goodness destroys negativity and the void destroys illusion.

Thus true virtues are powerful and of course healthy, seen only as weak by the competitive mind.

Faith moves mountains.
