What is the Meaning of Life?
The answer to this question determines what Value your endeavors possess. Does making a particular Effort make sense? Sumou for instance.
What is the Meaning of Life? I|ShiroiKuma have many ideas and guesses, but I|ShiroiKuma don't know.
I|ShiroiKuma know of no other Way as powerful as Sumou, which you can travel in order to seek the Meaning, though.
Many think they know the Way, but there is a difference between knowing the Way and actually walking it. Knowing the Way without walking it is not even one hundredth through. Those who haven't walked the Way have no idea what it brings and what it means. Take no advice from them, their opinions are irrelevant.
In Sumou only successful ex-Rikishi can be Oyakata, thus only they can carry on the living Tradition of Sumou. The reason for this is exactly the difference between knowing the Way and actually walking it.
Sumou is so hard, painful, full of hurting failures, injuries. If you find the Strength to do Good Sumou nothing else in Life will stop you. You will have the Strength to do anything, to accomplish anything you set your Mind to.
