When I first saw Braveheart, I was most impressed by the power of
its battle sequences; after seven years, I am most impressed by the
enduring power of its story. It is a great movie because it seriously
argues that one man's lifelong personal experiences and struggle can
make a difference, if not in the world then at least in the lives of
others, it is a great movie because it is ultimately an inspiring story
of perseverance in the face of considerable brutality and heartbreak,
greatness because a thousand words are not adequate to express all of
its emotional power and impact. I do not have the heart to give Braveheart
less than a perfect score, even if I wished, because it is much more to
me than mere entertainment...It is a constant reminder to me that I
must never lose heart, to stand up for what one believes in, to be true
to ones self."You have bled with Wallace...now bleed with me!"
Thank you Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim for standing up and fighting, when it would be so easy to run or compromise. You fight for what is right. You live your live with honor, love, and strength. To me, that is what life is all about. Thank you for your books and teachings, like "Seven Steps to Inner Power". It is an honor to be your student. :)
