Hopes and dreams we have tend to work as the fuel for getting results, but they do require an engine to burn within, which is true determination. Sometimes people, in their quest for personal satisfaction, put their trust in a wall of illusion they build around them to block the outside world from disturbing their (false) vision.
Pro wrestling is definitely the best of sports for the audience to realize what goes on during the event. The purpose of the techniques, the rules and the actual essence of the style is to "tell the story" to each and every spectator, whereas in almost any other form of competition, especially in combat arts, one is to have at least some amount of knowledge of what's taking place in order to be able to enjoy the presentation. The criticism pro wrestlers are often faced with has a lot to do with alleged lack of authenticity, but it's really a matter of diversity in the level of skill - properly carried out, wrestling undeniably belongs to the royal family of finest martial arts. So we are talking about dynamics here; a practitioner that's in poor condition or doesn't possess the prowess of a pro will undoubtedly have problems with his or her credibility.
Speaking of life in general it is sometimes said that the greatest stories are those of love and death. Make it everyday: we don't need to go that extreme but can simply talk about states of desire and suffering damage. As far as I've come to know no one has ever proved that affection is anything but the person's attempt to feel joy, yet evidence of the opposite can be found. There may be nothing wrong in such an emotional search, it's just that I value truth more than happiness - virtue at the purest that would be. The importance is even greater in cases of fighting, for the basis of successful strategy lies in gaining control over circumstances by co-operation with the surroundings. One cannot benefit from comfort as it doesn't offer a strong foundation but a feeble one instead, then again "it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward".
I prefer looking in the mirror to painting a self portrait; the latter too easily becomes an object one may seek to target the hopes and dreams with. It is far better to observe yourself as you are, unpleasant as it might be, and then find the ways to get better. After abandoning the pretty veil of self-satisfaction you bend the limits of what can be done by maximizing the share of reality's iron core in the raw materials of what you're made of. Next step: fuse your own spirit into it and be part of the very dynamics, ride the laws of Nature.
We all wish to be free, but when the strings are cut off we must decide what it ultimately means: falling or flying? Who then remains frozen in the safety of the blue, trapped under one's own ice, and who dares to enter the fire and blood of the gleaming red? Free as the wind they say, just remember some winds only blow in the north of every man's heart.
