Unyielding mind
Though not primarily MA...
I am finding my self to be incredibly stubborn these days. I don't care to deal with fools and only by the grace of God and my Mother's teachings do I not tell people what I think they are in colorful language - or smack them across the lips as they deserve (credit my instructor for this)
There are those women in dire need of a drink and an escort who give frustrated, underapreciated middle aged women like myself a bad reputation, not being able to read for comprehention or civilized conduct in the semi public setting of an internet forum (computers for women should come with a hormone meter, that certain time of the month it needs to refuse to turn on, I tell you!)
And then there are parents that tell their children how worthless they are, bound for hell, an embarrassment. What the hell is wrong with people?!
I never gave it much thought, but behavior like that irks me. It is not right. It is against my life principles. I am not sure, is it that the Martial Arts have brought this out in me, or because of these values I am drawn to the values the Martial Arts teach? I am no angel, by any means...but come on!
I am unwilling to let issues go though the return, time after time, again and again, wearing on you, tire you out. Because I think it's not right.
Ok, rant over...
