For one,

taekwondo has a
proclivity for transforming even the most cynical man or woman
into a spiritually enlightened person displaying a renewed passion
for life. This seemingly impossible task is accomplished by
constantly reminding the practitioner of their self-worth and
unique place in the cosmic scheme of events.
Because we are living in a world of sometimes overwhelming
proportions, technology, financial obligations, even the size of
the buildings in which we live and work, can result in a feeling
of insignificance.
