If the MA has a lesson, it's that character reigns preeminent in determining potential.
Your thoughts.

Potential is like Electrical Potential, all you need is two poles and some connectivity. If you have a serial circuit; you take each step at a time, if you have parallel system; you can back up your training with levels of understanding. _________________ Look to the far mountain and see all. |

I'll have to take you at your word because I've not even the minimum idea about anything electrical except I need it and it can kill you if your dumb like me.

Imho, character, and the lack thereof, defines us, and in that, our potentiality.
For MAists, I believe that without sound morals/characters, they're just bullies.

Honor may seem to be an old fashioned virtue; but it is just as valid in the modern world of street and dojo as in medieval battle fields and training halls. They say it is all in the mind; I say the spirit is just as powerful and our only true opponent is ourselves. _________________ Look to the far mountain and see all. |

One of my students chided in...
One begins at birth and one then ends at death! What fills in the middle can determine many things; good or bad.
Interesting?!?!

I have to agree.
Our character determines if we stand for something. And to me , that's everything! |

The supposed character of a MAist by the layperson puts quite a lot of pressure on the MAist to prove their worth on and off the floor. The layperson stereotypes the MAist, and in that, that stereotype is perceived by said layperson, and at times, that can be a very hard thing to meet up with, and when that stereotype isn't in concert with actual actions, it's can be a hard and lonely travel to change perceived impressions.
Imho!!
