Seeing
things as they are is vital to the life
of a Tai Chi person
because those that judge or criticize
others sooner or later judge themselves
and it is then that 'problems'
begin!
Those that except only "perfection"
eventually judge themselves as bad students,
or a teacher as a bad teacher.
Sooner or later one or the other become
discouraged and quits. Conversely, students
who find things easy may judge themselves
as 'good', and often develop other ego
problems. This is the same thing, the
other side of the coin - and it has the
same effect.
Someone, sooner or later quits.
No definition of best or worse should
ever be made in Tai Chi for it is known
that he/she who has the greatest ego has
the greatest burden. You should wish this
neither on yourself or others.
In Tai Chi you are who
you are; that's it!
There is only one of you in the Universe,
Thus everything is individual and unique
and, like you,
Cannot be productively compared to anything
or anyone else.
