Competition, in its purest form, plays a vital role in exquisite existence and interaction of all things. It permeates the very fabric of life as we know it, including the role of death, and facilitates Welcome been constant renewal through the process of natural transformation of what some call evolution. Although life itself moves through the various permutations, revivals and subtle rearrangement, of which we witness every day, we can and should appreciate the wonderful balance that nature imposes on all subjects. Somehow he manages to allow non-extreme or restructuring of the natural order that would manage time and re-do. We are exhorted, privileged witnesses, to be slow to criticize or question the wisdom accumulated prematurely time, even as manifested in the present. The dynamics allows to produce this constant state of exchange and creativity, is the role of ensuring pure racing the most logical and progressive results.
Charles Darwin was the closest to the reality of creativity and evolutionary change, when he coined the phrase “Survival of the fittest”. Rather, might have said, “survival of the most appropriate, through constant evolutionary competition”. Not only are the “stronger” surviving, but those who best meet the evolving plan general plan. Nada fue destined to survive intact without changes. All creation is destined for extinction, the late Temprano, not necessarily lost, but is transformed into a new role, identity and purpose.
Can there be any doubt that the elements of our universe have, are and will continue to evolve through competitive features in its design? The constant stream of extinctions, revised restructuring and appearance of the original design in the eons is proof positive that the competitive element is indeed feasible. How else, truth can assert in a timely, replacing concepts and creations that have outlived their usefulness. How else can secure the future of the most appropriate ways of creating, if not for the cleaning action of the actual competition, and powers to monitor and improve the endless procession of obsolete designs, and timely disposal of disorder inappropriate.
Aikido as Budo identity and purpose martial, not immune to the inevitable changes, and hopefully to improve, that the situation calls for it in time. The creation of O Sensei was just for him to enjoy, develop, and to print in history. Fortunately, there, and still, the visionary geniuses who understood his plan well enough to continue with the momentum of change of martial theory, with iconoclastic vision and innovative approaches to the applicability frescoes we see today, and hope for the future. Competing with what was, we can prepare for what should be. Yes, unique and appropriate function of the competition is to ensure that the original design of the evolutionary process will continue, fulfilling the promise made by the founder of improving steadily and consistently through the centuries.
I think the Sensei, when supposedly said: “after me, Aikido will cease to exist”. It referred to the promise, the potential and power of the great example he gave, but rather the reality that his time was coming to an end, and that no one could duplicate his unique genius, or their interpretations of what they learned . His knowledge and epiphanies were theirs to cherish, while his legacy is ours to honor and cherish. He gave a large stimulus to future generations, for daring to create their own brands sus aikido, use if they wish, Aiki principles he personally proved to be so useful and vital in creating what was its option. It was not naive in the least, understand the role that “pure competition” dynamic play in the whirlwind that would follow his death. He probably foresaw the intense competition that would occur between his direct disciples. It was inevitable that the future students of Aikido, sentieran naturally dissatisfied with the limitations of the vision and creativity of their mentors. Their fate would one day get away on your own, as ambitious descendants throughout history have done successfully, to continue the tradition of excellence.
Sincere and talented students of Aikido today, should be taken seriously, this incredible opportunity to play their respective parts in continuing this legacy of Aiki, The Sensei that began decades hace. By adding their contributions to the foundation of the dynamic evolution of Aikido, are doing, using tools like the real competition unmatched offers worthy and ambitious. This model of competitive genius has worked for as long as the universe has existed, and is still working just as well today. Join, if atreves, and feel worth trying.
There are many kinds of competition to consider and choose, both the ambitious and visionary, as for the ordinary and humbly satisfied. First, is the competition for scarce resources, enough room to grow and freedom to be creative. Rivers even wear to mountains, and they respond to the demands of gravity. Displaces vegetation smaller plants, and inspired by the story. The Earth formed by the lucky collisions in space-time, resulting in a habitable planet, and ensuring the life and presence on the moon itself. Higher forms of life were only possible thanks to the timely demise of the dinosaurs by an errant asteroid, or so it seems. The only constant, apparently, is the change. The competition made all this possible.
There has always been competition between the different species of plants and animals for space, water, food and opportunities to expand and grow. It can be considered really ironic, that the competition for the sexual domain itself has many victims in its wake, in order to preserve these same species. This is sometimes known as the enigma of “the food chain”, euphemistic illustration of the law of Darwin.
For me, however, most interesting stage of the competition is the interior and the battle eternally unresolved ego versus other emotions that have endured for millennia humanity. It may be the single most important conflict that has the potential to impact tested almost all other known forms of competition. During the last 200 years old, since the Industrial Revolution, the fate of the inhabitants of the world has been affected dramatically by questionable decisions made by man. Soon we reap the consequences of such decisions stunning. The inexorable extinction of other species and forms of life in the timeline of our administration have taken place during this agitation of the consciousness of the human species. One can only wonder if this was also a consequence on account of the competition model. I guess so, because all you really can happen, indeed happens.
In many ways, and for many reasons, does not matter who will win, or short-term results. Nature has it all covered, sample regardless of occasional wisdom, innumerable errors or manmade chaotic. All we need do is continue our study of the phenomenon of time-tested pure competition, how it affects the natural laws of evolutionary change, and decrease our capricious interference with the process. How to choose, determines how well you do. We can not win. We can only survive, being extinguished. We can, however, do your best to enjoy the journey, before happily in extingamos. We are, and have always been part of the grand scheme of the natural and efficient management of events, using the model of competition.
As we train in the style of Aikido we choose, let us really enjoy the process, without dwelling on issues we can not control, or even understand less. Rather, we will use the model of competition in a way that best give us the most efficient way to appreciate the gift of life, and to share it with the many others who matter. We will complete, not against each other, insignificant cases jealous of success, but compete for more meaningful answers to the opportunities available through this process, inspired by the very successes of our brothers and his acts of genius. Let us continue to compete for a better tomorrow, for mutual benefit.
