Greeting Volker
i apologize for the way that sounded. Please dont take it wrong. My words
sometimes dont match my meaning. :) I in NO way am implying that someone
without a scarf/belt is less endowed with such things. I know several
unscarfed/belted who are MORE of an example than some who are. Ive seen
women carrying something heavy walk past a group of scarfs/belts and not get
noticed. But try to let the King ( a powerful male) try to carry something,
and half the white belts will be fighting to see who carries it. (example
only,dont jump on me) :)
i feel the same as you in someways. As a cadet, i have'nt seen myself as
something better. Only that someone has taken an interest in my fighting.
Or they saw something that needed help.(I'm not perfect)
I also know MANY unscarfed/belted who cannot travel and be seen to be "hand
picked" by a Don/Knight. That in no way makes them unworthy, just unable to
travel.
I apologize to all i may have offended.
If further questions. and dont want to tie up net,
pkjdw at hotmail.com is me.
Thank you
Ld James
