BATTLES.
watched REAL STEEL today.
it's a touching story behind all the raw metal-crunching action: a story about how a dad starts out by fighting for the love of it, then the fight changed. He saw his kid, and his heart turned to fighting for his kid instead. It was a greater goal and a greater purpose than the selfish one he started with.
it teaches also the fight to survive: if you can tough it out, everything will be okay. and that the size does not matter.
another thing: humanity will always be greater than pure science, because it is our soul and ability to learn and adapt that ensures our survival.
Emilyn and I talked about fighting styles on the way home. she said that she wanted to learn a unique but practical fighting style. my opinion is simple - if someone punches you in the face, you stand up and punch them back, hard and between the eyes for that matter. sure, the saying goes that you should "offer the other cheek", but i believe that saying only applies to slaps. if someone slaps you, you kind of deserve it cause you must have did something that amounted to that slap. but man, if someone punches you, it just means that guy just wants a beating back. i mean, come on, no one throws a punch expecting no reaction from their opponent. Me? you hit me, I'll hit back and I'm sure will give it everything. even if I'm the one that lands face-first on the pavement, i won't go without hurting some part of you.
survival of the fittest (or the smartest for that matter.)
oh well, go watch it. you won't regret.

peace and joy God has set me free.
