You are all adults and you all take responsibility for your actions in life regardless of whether sport oriented or what ever even when you jump off the curb while texting to cross the street. As adults you should not need to be told that everything you do in this life has consequences and those consequences depend solely and exclusively on you. It’s like jumping off what may appear to be the deep end of the pool, even tho the water is clear you must research and discover what lies below before you take the plunge. If you plunge anyway then what ever you get once you enter the water is all on you, it isn’t anyone else’s responsibility. Check the water first and what ever that means is on you.
What you encounter in martial arts and toward defense-protection, also referred to as self-defense, is inherently dangerous so do the research, analysis and then come to an educated consensus as to what that exposes you too as to your own mental and physical safety. Leaping off the edge of the pool because you ‘think’ the water is fine is just plain stupid, don’t be stupid.
Everything, I mean that literally, everything in our world has some level of danger to it including just crossing the street. We live in a world as a species that relies on how well we all connect and work together for our very survival. To ignore possible mental and physical dangers we know of, to ignore possible mental and physical dangers that we don’t know of and to ignore the possible mental and physical dangers that we don’t know we don’t know of is ludicrous, dangerous and just plain irresponsible of us, us as an individual human being and us as an individual human being alone.
No one should need or be required to be warned by others to the dangers of our world both mental and physical simply because that puts the onus of your mental and physical safety and well-being let alone health and longevity on others. When you are, worst case scenario, are dead and once again dust from which you came it is kind of hard to say, “It was there fault, they didn’t tell me about …!” When I walk across the street I understand the dangers involved not because someone told me but because I take the time to look and listen and recognize the dangers so that when I step off the curb I use caution and actions that will avoid the danger and not get run over with possible grave harm or death.
Listen and listen carefully, it is on you and you alone to find out things, to know what you don’t know and to know what you don’t know you don’t know to remain safe, secure and healthy for the duration of nature’s intent as to your life expectancy. The only way you can live safely and healthy a long life is to take personal responsibility for yourself, to not project blame onto to others simply because you were lazy in life and then to proceed to tell yourself that if SOMEONE HAD JUST DONE SOMETHING I would not have suffered. There is only ONE ‘SOMEONE’, that someone is YOU!
Remember, do the work, don’t be lazy, know what you don’t know and know what you don’t know you don’t know, then take responsibility and even then seek out experts, professionals and teachers of the subject because a group learns and understands through the exchange of information, idea’s and theories to synthesize a greater understanding of things than anything known to man - especially the Internet!
