Just today thinking of why the martial arts is thought of as a way it came to me that it is a parallel world within a world (micro-world) where facts of the practice of martial arts connect to life as a human.
We are born, we struggle through our adolescence into young adult status. We continue to struggle through up to the adult stage where we begin to feel like we actually know things and understand life. We continue to struggle with adult things which are driven by what we lived and learned in those younger years till we reach real maturity. At a more mature stage we start to understand the meaning of life - don't this sound a bit like the way in martial arts?
Kyu levels are a bit like childhood and those funky teen years.
Lower dan levels are a lot like early, middle and late adult years.
High dan levels say beyond go-dan are a bit like those senior years where we truly mature, right?
