IN
THE BLINK OF AN EYE
It
all depends on your point of view
In Feudal Japan
a great General led his army in battle against a small
village.
Knowing the
General's reputation all of the citizens in the village
fled, except for an old Monk, who refused to leave his
beloved temple.
Upon hearing
this news the General decided to go to the temple and see
for himself just what kind of man the Monk was.
As he rode
through the gate and onto the temple grounds he found the
Monk standing there waiting to meet him. The Monk greeted
him warmly, as he would any other guest, and he offered
the General all of the hospitality his temple had to
offer.
Realizing that
the Monk did not fear him at all the General said, "Do
you not realize that you are talking to a man who could
kill you in the blink of an eye"?
To which the
Monk replied, "Do you not realized that you are
talking to a man who can be killed without blinking an
eye"?
Remember
In
life everything depends on your point of view,
the
view always depends on where you stand.
Part
the clouds - see the way
"The
objective of karate is to contribute to the evolution
of
the human spirit through physical and mental training."
