Benefits of Delayed Gratification
Back in 300 B.C., Aristotle saw that the reason so many people were unhappy was that they confused pleasure for true happiness .
True happiness, according to Aristotle, is about developing habits and surrounding yourself with people who grow your soul. This allows you to move towards your greatest potential. True happiness entails delaying pleasure, and putting in the time, discipline, and patience required to achieve a goal instead of feeling good now.

"Zen isn’t concerned very much about form.
It’s not really concerned very much about ritual. It doesn’t care about having some mystical experience.
It’s not about getting a particular state of mind.
It’s asking the question, What am I?
What is this?"

🇯🇵 Rare photo of an Onna bugeisha (女武芸者, "female martial artist"). An Onna-bugeisha was a type of female warrior belonging to the Japanese nobility. These women occasionally engaged in battle alongside samurai men, but mostly only in times of need. They were members of the bushi class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war.

On the Ainu People...
Ainu folk are an ethnic group indigenous to the Japanese archipelago, whose historical basis dates back at least 16,500 years.
They are first attested in the archaeological record during the Incipient Jōmon period (14,500 – 8,000 BCE). The word Jōmon is a Japanese translation of "cord-marked", in reference to their pottery style which exhibited cord marks not dissimilar to the Indo-European Corded Ware Culture of Northern Europe.
The Ainu were displaced through ethnocide and miscegenation when Japonic speakers invaded the archipelago c. 900 – 300 BCE, pushing them to the northern extremity of Japan.

Comparative Religion..
The Ainu creation myth shows similarity to Indo-European & Uralic.
According to folklore, the first being, or the first Kamuy, created the world. The ancestor of man is sometimes said to be a bear, similar to how *Yemo- (Norse "Ymir", Rigvedic "Yama") in the Indo-European creation myth, is a giant.
In Finnish mythology, the bear (Finnish "karhu") was seen as the embodiment of the forefathers, whom they knew by epithets such as mesikämmen, "mead-paw". And in the Indo-European linguistic tradition, bears were revered which can be inferred by the practice of substituting the original word for the beast, *h₂ŕ̥tḱos, with epithets such as *berô (Germanic, "the brown one") and *medvě̀dь (Slavic, "honey-eater").
These tentatively inferred similarities may suggest a very ancient relation.
