When a person passes judgement without criteria, they reveal a certain ignorance and arrogance.
They assume to know.
This is like the notion of 'mastery'.
The word 'master' suggests an end, a conclusion. But is there such a condition? Surely all students of tai chi are evolving.
If you are not growing and changing, you become stagnant and stale.
Taoism and zen recognise the significance of process. Everything is changing.
There is no still point, no end.
How we see things is changing as we change.
Are your current thoughts and beliefs the same ones you held as a toddler/a young child?
Surely not.
Everything is provisional. Existence is protean.
