This site is about everything from my philosophy on life to the little things that make me laugh. IIt is about living, and breathing, and pausing long enough to take it all in. I hope it makes you laugh, sometimes makes you cry, but always makes you want to come back for another visit. It is your words, and your likes that inspire me to keep writing. And it is through my writing that you have a very large window to my soul. Relax awhile, read, and enjoy!
Yes. When our emotions get the best of us we behave rashly, make spontaneous decisions based on how we are feeling at the moment, often hurtful when we are low, harsh when we are angry. Agree or disagree?
Yeees… I think… But why would you fight if you didn’t feel passionately about something? Even if you’re a pro, you must feel some sort of fire to want to do the best you can. I’d have thought.
Back in feudal Japan, when Samurai’s dueled, there were two parts to the fight.
The first was the stare down, which was the “mental” or “emotional” part of the battle. The Samurai that flinched first was thought to have already lost half the battle.
So their has been this philosophy in place for quite a long time now that true warriors learn to fight passionately but are always in control of their emotions.
Yes, absolutely. When you’re angry, you’re next move will be obvious, rash, irrational, and sloppy. Therefore, you cannot possibly be the best fighter when you’re angry.

I totally agree. I’ve learned some lessons the hard way and that was one of them. It’s also priceless once you get it 😉

MMA fighters (can train and fight with passion) but they are typically not “angry.” Many if the champs fight very tactical and follow a game plan.

True, also if one lets their emotions get the better of them, they have already lost the fight.

I do boxing and we’re always told to keep our emotions from surfacing because our opponents would be able to read it and capitalize.
