My experience is that it is very important to say and to hear others express a higher standard than many of us can achieve.
Isn't that one of the things aikido is about?

IMHO, aikido is only a tool or a context in which we can practice this.
If it is achievable for one of us, it is achievable for all of us.
It is not a "higher standard", but the standard.
We have to quit accepting "less than" from others and ourselves.
Thoughts?
