Throwback Thursday

Thoughts on Life:
Live a simple life and practice simple virtues. Associate only with good people and learn from them and follow their example. If you travel the twisted road too frequently, soon you will believe that all roads are twisted. Goodness is its own virtue and reward, if you think that you can gain something in this world by being good - you have already strayed from the Path of goodness. Just as the wise man understands being "already fulfilled" in this world, the true Aikidoists already understands, "harmony perfected and complete.” Goodness given is goodness received. Goodness received must in turn be goodness given. This is the meaning of the Great Circle.
