make things better

“Amateurs try to make things perfect, professionals just try to make things better.” - Rory Miller, Facing Violence

Comment: The only perfection is our efforts to make things better. In the martial art world that is all about esthetics with a good dose of self-soothing beliefs that don’t necessarily relate to reality. The true goal is survival in conflict, violence and violent conflict. Our very nature as humans seems our greatest obstacle. To know ourselves as humans gives us the tools to improvise, adapt and overcome obstacles in all aspects.
