Hello there,i am a new member from Greece,i practise Aikido 2 years now and i am glad i found this great website to share my point of views and ideas with people who have the same interests with me.
I am trying to implement the principles of Aikido and Budo generally in my life, which is not a very easy thing to do.
Aikido has improved my life very much mentaly and physicaly,but also it changed the way i see the world,the people.Some of us have had the "unfortunate luck" to find ourselves in a fight or had the luck to avoid it.Personally i have never engaged myself in fighting even though i got "pissed off" several times,but i didn't do anything i just turned my back and walked away.I do now that this is the right thing to do but i also know(speaking of me) that i have not rejected fear,i think that i am afraid to find myself in a situation like that.
By the time we are angry and feel like nothing can stop us from beating the heck out of the "guy" that has said,done etc...to us, here we are again walking away from it.
What about being a coward,what about self-respect, we are reading about no-fear,but how do we do it actually in life?
How do we reject fear?
Thank you.
