ONLY FOR A WHILE

Dear Gensui,

Be kind to others.

It does not cost you anything.

Compassion in the right place is a virtue to be admired and emulated.

Be happy.

We do not look for good tidings each moment of our lives.

Our lives are not for our self-aggrandisement nor for our sole pleasure.

Looking always only unto ourselves, we become selfish, self-engrossed and undignified. Sad, and small people.

Protect those less able than us.

We study a lethal martial art but that does not make us barbarians or mindless beings – quite the opposite.

To know lethality is to understand the virtue of its absence in daily life.

For…

Remember, we are only here for a short while, let us make that while meaningful and fruitful both for all humanity, as well as for ourselves.
