Martial arts or martial science deals with our darkness, the animal that we pretend not to be, it opens the window of opportunity for us to understand this animal, the monkey mind, the monkey king. Thus, understanding that all the turmoil lies within ourselves.
And this path of truth is hard for many and not an easy task, but then again worth it. Because it strengthens us mentally and physically and the latter positions weaken us. Creating chaos in the natural order.
Another wonderful book that dwells on the darkness of the human psyche is Robert Greene’s book, “The Laws of Human Nature” quoting from the book,
“What if we could look within and see the source of our more troubling emotions and why they drive our behaviour often against our wishes? What if we could understand why, we’re so compelled to desire what other people have, or to identify so strongly with the group that we feel contempt for those who are on the outside?”
Besides fighting, martial art is a path of truth.
