Why Am I Going

Why Am I Going?








Superficially the answer would seem to be that i watched to many martial art films when i was younger. Though Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa and the Shaolin Monks have all inspired and influenced me, they are just the tip of the iceberg. The true foundation and reasoning of my decision to leave the niceties and modern luxuries of London is simple; the eradication of weakness from my mind, body and spirit. Or to put another way to increase the strength of my mind, body and spirit.


I feel the human race is going through another stage of evolution that i don't think Charles Darwin ever envisioned; de-evolution. The human race as a whole is falling apart. The concept behind evolution is that the fittest will survive. Look around you with no intellectual deliberations and with undoctrinised eyes and you'll see the state of individuals fitness and health, both mental and physical is at a all time low.



We are for the most part on this earth longer than any of our descendants but i would not call it living. I like the term "vertical death" coined by some health care professionals. Meaning people are moving but they have not been alive for along time. Their dead inside but the Prozac, stress and caffeine keep them moving.



The quote below, i feel really sums up the misplaced arrogance of man.

"We must, however, acknowledge as it seems to me, that a man with all his noble qualities...still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin" (Charles Darwin)


So it is my attempt to have a break from the lunacy and downright stupidity of modern man which seems to be perpetuated and actually encouraged from many directions in London and i suspect most modern westernised cities. To remember who i am, as we are all born with self amnesia.

Modern day living does nothing to encourage the acquisition of the exquisite, innate knowledge that is held in us all. Instead it replaces it with nonsensical bullshit that ultimately leads us to turmoil and loss of self. To bring the best out of me and i believe as a young man it is the perfect time to establish good habits as this is ultimately what everyones life is based upon.
