Martial arts are great. They cultivate virtues, both physical and mental, in ways that it is very difficult to do otherwise. Everyone, and I mean everyone should train martial arts at least a little at some point in their life.
BUT! They are not the be-all and end-all of life. Someday, painful as it is to contemplate, you may find yourself forced to choose between practice and something else that you love and lend life meaning. Be selfish. Be ruthless. Decide what is best for you. And if this means giving up martial arts, do it. Natch, you should strive to find a compromise that doesn’t mean entirely giving them up, but still.
