"The internet is not what it used to be" ~ Miyamoto Musashi, 2020
Painfully true

This Miyamoto Musahsi sounds like a very wise guy. Maybe he could craft an art into and become a human legend or something.
My life motto always has been:
"Those who can't be alone, can't be honest, can't be loyal, can't be anything"
Thus I feel stronger and more self sufficient!

ultimate words ))
"The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it." Capt. Ronald J. Spears
I don't understand this quote.
@@ethanarnold4441 It boils down to: Don't think, act. The line between bravery and stupidity is thin.
@@ethanarnold4441 Should you not accept death then it will be in the forefront of ur mind and a mental blockade in battle. Thus you are fighting to survive and focused on staying alive which will hinder you.
If you accept death as a possibility then you will not hold anything back you will truly fight with everything,as your opponent is doing the same.
There are three types of people.
1: Those who will learn by listening to the wisdom of others.
2: Those who have to learn the hard way.
3: Those who never learn at all.
like that.
reminds me of another quote.
Confucius - By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation (example), which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Ahh you know about Confucius you know your history
@@jobob47 what does he mean by reflection, i did not understand it
@@AbdulRahmanSubhanAllah first, I will assume that it is a serious question, and you are not just yanking my chain.,
I am sure there are many interpretations.
mine is that reflection is meditation, self awareness, critical judgment, insightfulness, sitting around thinking on things to determine their true nature. and how You define those things as they affect your life.
____
extra stuff.
after all, the beginning of wisdom is call things by their true name.
which is why today certain groups being so focused on controlling the language around us and changing the definition of words to suit their own agendas.
like changing the definition of words such as man or woman, for example.
I would also refer you to the George Orwell essay Politics and the English Language on that last subject.
after all, as it says in the bible, in the beginning was the Word.... everything flows from that.
Im definitely the hard way guy.
Im too proud to listen
The truth is not what you want it to be, that is very appropriate for the times we are living in.
But nobody will listen or care.........

Very true sadly...

❤ "True Warriors are fierce because their training is fierce" ― Musashi Miyamoto
I like that one in particular. I'm a powerlifter and I thought that was so hard and grueling for years. Until I started Muay Thai, and I realized that lifting weights of my choice, at my pace, is a total leisure activity compared to training and practicing a martial art. One of the instructors explained it to me this way on my first day we when we talking about my own background. He said that weight training and fitness in general is a monologue and a spar is a conversation. In a spar you have no choice but to keep tempo and pace with your partner and it takes you to levels you simply cannot go to when training (any athletic endeavor) alone. I thought I was fierce and my own weight training is more on the intense side, but its a joke compared to a 90 minute session with lesson/spar at a legit academy

"Life is a long stream of embarrassments."
"A future is not given to you. It is something you must take for yourself."

Those two last sentences, those ideas, alongside Musashi's, are ones that are pulling me out of depression, little by little, and finding a middle ground between safety and recklessness.
The first one is a constant reminder that I may be wrong and commit gross errors based on false judgment, as well as a reminder of the extent the error can become. It is a reality at the scale of all of humanity, yet also a reality at the individual level.
It gets easier. You need to do it every day, thats the hard part. It does get easier though.
@@oz_jones True, it gets easier. Thanks for the encouragement! I picked up working out with a friend who's been working out for more than 13 years now and coaches me. I discipline myself to work out three times a week, despite the amount of pain he puts me through. No pain, no gain!
---
Here's another piece of wisdom I gleaned from the aforementioned Yoko Taro. You know the saying "well-ordained charity begins with one's self"? Rephrased, it means there is an order to who to be charitable to, first one's self, then others.
The full meaning is that first, help yourself as if you are someone else you are responsible for helping, and once you are capable, you shall help others. You cannot help anyone else if you aren't doing well enough yourself.
And that is the secret to a type of fulfilling, meaningful life: helping others. Sacrificing a bit of time, a bit of one's self, to make an impact in other people's life. Even if there's no thankfulness. Charity doesn't need thankfulness, sacrifice doesn't need recognition, because the point isn't to look good in the eye of the onlooker, the primary goal is the uncorrupted gift of help itself.
I have yet to reach that point. I am helping myself now, both physically and mentally. One day I'll be "helped" enough to help others.
Thanks!
i always try to find beauty and fulfillment in life. the fact that humans have been on this earth for so long making history, and the fact that we are privileged enough to be here and make our own history as well is enough for me to get through the day. you got this

"I can see your browser history." -Miyamoto Musashi.
"If you're not first you're last"
*Miyamoto Ricky Bobby Musashi*
What I find very strange about Musashi is that he is an icon of Japanese culture yet, especially at the time of his life, he was very counter culture. There were certain codes samurai were expected to follow and he broke most of them. Such as showing up late to a dual to make his opponent so mad it clouded his judgement. I think his life can be described as living so close to death daily that he truly learned to enjoy life. The key is, it sounds like he never let his circumstances make him bitter and if he could take matters into his own hands he did when necessary.
He lived most of his time with a sword as a Ronin as well. He had multiple masters and lords, even flat out refused an order to a lord's face. When pushed on it he told his lord "I will not tarnish my honor following your decree." You did not order anyone to do something you yourself are too afraid to do, you also could not order a man to do something that was against the code. Most samurai would commit seppuku in defiance, Musashi straight up said 'no' to the man's face in a room full of his warriors outing the man as honor-less there and then. The lord was infuriated, Musashi simply turned and left. The fool lord then drew his sword and moved to attack Musashi in the back only to get cut down by 3 swords from others. Attacking a man's back was so dishonorable that even those who were his friends stabbed his corpse.
I also love that he dueled a guy while using a damn boat oar.
@@Nempo13 a Guy? He defeats the greatest samurai Alice with a stick
@@Nempo13 damn....I agree.
A common curse for people who are too ahead of their time, is that they are hardly understood in the time they have.
Many prolific thinkers dont live to see the full acceptance and understanding of their way of thinking.
But if we consider his logic and that there are many ways to the top of the mountain... maybe that same mountain just obstructed the view of others
"In Life we fear death, and in Death we appreciate life." I feel like since Musashi always puts himself on the edge of death, he appreciates living, and no matter what, is it wrong to keep on living?
"Those who can't be alone, can't be honest, can't be loyal and can't be anything" this hits the target, this is so deep, meaningful and accurate.

„…,it is what it is,…“ ~ Miyamoto Musashi
"To know of a quote, is not to understand it" - Me, today 2022
these are so beautiful... no doubt that after being nothing but a wanding bandit, but after being taught by Takuan, imprisoned for years in a dungeon with a candle and zen books as only companions... these quotes are from a zen master.
every single quote is a perfection. every single word is a perfection. a perfection, in a realm of imperfection.
it is impossible for me to pick 1 quote and 1 quote only...
if i had non choice, i would take this one :
'one thousand days of lessons for discipline, ten thousand for mastery.'
musashi eventually came out of his dungeon, being the master of himself.
what a deliverance.
Some people wish they had a wise figure to look upon, father, teacher or a friend but with today's technology we can have all of the wisdom to learn.
But what's having all the wisdom if we don't execute them.
I remind my Soul to transfer all that wisdom to my daily life.
Exactly!
After listening to the wisdom don’t just accept or decline it.
Contemplate on what you’ve heard and discover on your own how it works for your life… and if it’s worth it to make it your truth or not.
2 first quotes sums up 2 lessons that todays society do not understand anymore.

"Step by step walk the thousand mile road", which can be translated as being perseverant even if your goals seem impossible to achieve. In some cases the Triumph is measured by how persistent we are in continuing until the end.

You don’t have to be weak for these quotes to strengthen you
From a warrior of a time and place that was probably constantly brutal to all.
Favorite quotes have to be:
1. "To know ten thousand things, know one well."
2. "One thousand days of lessons for discipline, ten thousand days of lessons for mastery."
3. "Understand the harm and benefit of everything."
4. "In battle, if you make your opponent flinch, you have already won."
5. "If the enemy thinks of the mountains, attack like the sea, and if he thinks of the sea, attacks like the mountains."
6. "Those who can't be alone, can't be honest, can't be loyal, and can't be anything."
A quote is not enough to strengthen character, it's inspiring but the only way to strengthen character is to do somthing hard and come out on top or learn from your failure.
“If he parries your sword, surprise him with another hidden sword, who cares what he thinks he’s dead”
I feel like the first quote is the one a lot of people have forgotten now a day about truth.
I've had a rough few days, a few decades actually, and I'm not going to lie about that.
And these words really help, thank you.
"Preoccupied with a single leaf, you will miss the whole tree. Preoccupied with a single tree you will miss the whole forest"
- Seho Takuan, a wondering monk, a mentor of Miyamoto musashi in the manga Vagabond.
There is no light for those who do not know darkness.
Live on and endure the shadows and brightness shall come your way. - takuan to takezo ( vagabond)
“Preoccupied with a single teaching, you will miss the essence of existence.”
“Grandpa Musashi, I just want to submit my homework to not get punished in class! Please leave me be.”
I appreciate it 🙏
Preoccupied with being a monk, you can give out platitudes without ever having to experience the love of a woman or children or the leaves, trees and forests that go with it.
Miyamoto Musashi was a great man not only in character but in fighting.
"You can only fight the way you practice".- This can mean that all challenges are set in such a way we're able to overcome them. Whatever conflict we're facing; we are skilled to find the right solution for it. Everyday our character is tested by simple issues seeming quite trivial like waiting in line during a traffic jam; the bus getting delayed; a pile of files accumulated once we get back to work on Mondays; the kids doing such a pandemonium in the house; the products that we need now, are out-of-stock; customers being rude to each other; etc. Nevertheless, these conflicts test our character to become stronger, but each conflict is somehow set in a way we are capable of finding the most assertive solution. The first step to analyze and/or to react appropriately is to remain patient which is also called calming our mind.
Never be jealous. Miyamoto Musashis
Your life will get easier once you learn from it
"In Battle, if you make your opponent flinch you have already won." Miyamoto

The first quote HIT SO HARD!!!!
I need to watch this everyday
I started taking an interest in the way patterns would reappear in wildly different things several years ago. Once you analyze the logical connections of a phenomenon, you learn to recognize them everywhere. Once you do, you realize how most people, including you, naturally think in very associative, rather than rational, ways, and how useless that actually is. "If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything" is the one that resonated with me.
"The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them."
Very very interesting from the man that went around challenging martial arts experts to duels and slaughtering them like animals to be butchered. Yes, he was that skilled.
i have heard this "philosophy" stated by and about many different martial arts, and have always foin4d it both intriguing and puzzling - i mean, i get the general sentiment of the statement, but is it not oxymoronic or even self-defeating?
I think there's a difference between studying martial arts, and being a duelist. Dueling to the death, to me, appears to be synonymous with Karate tournaments.
“Yujiro Hanma was a tough opponent, but in the end I bested him”
