Carina, let's put it this way: would you like to become 8th dan?
If you say, no, I don't have that much time... then that is what I mean. I don't mean that you don't care about aikido. I just mean that you probably don't care if you become 8th dan.

How about this: it means that I'm not delusional. Becoming 8th dan requires decades upon decades of training no matter how many days a week you train,
plus being on the right side of all the politics. There are many people who come to aikido and who simply do not have four or five decades of life left.
