Masutatsu Oyama – forever alive fire …

The most incomprehensible creature in the world is a man. I have seen this many times, and nothing can shake me in this opinion. I even do not understand myself. No matter how much you live, and every time you discover something new in yourself. Not to mention others. It is especially difficult to understand a person when he is looking for something. I do not mean any particular thing, I'm talking about spiritual pursuits ... I write about this, because I myself do not differ from others in this respect. As you already know, since childhood I have been extremely lucky in choosing my life path, but at the same time I often became discouraged, not knowing the way out of the tangled life labyrinths.   The study of martial arts - this is a kind of distraction from life. This is not a departure from life, but only a transformation of it into a new quality. Here too, the struggle for survival, but how it is presented! Here a man takes off over himself, begins to feel the strength, as if he is not alone, but there is so much of him, he is omnipotent, fearless, noble.   I often had a feeling of extraordinary strength, as if I were the strongest and most invincible. Is it bad? Life, as is known, is a struggle in any case. So why not to make a fight, martial art the meaning of your whole life? I decided to do it and did not regret.
