Grading things...destroys them

  • Mr Huo, according to what you say, you really don't know the nature of tea.

  • It's not that I don't know, I really don't want to know, because I don't care about evaluating teas. Tea is tea. But each tea has its own character and properties. What is the purpose of grading ? These many teas are grown in nature, all of them. Is there a discernable difference ?

  • Yes, once you learn this, you can tell the difference between the teas.

  • What you say may be right, but the way I see it, the tea does not judge itself. It's people that judge its grading. Different people chose different things. As for me, as far as I'm concerned, I just don't want to make any choice.

  • Is that so ?

  • Drinking tea is a mood, really. If you are in a good mood, the grade of tea doesn't matter.

  • I've never looked at it like that. I understand that there are many wushu fighting styles. Are you saying no style is greater than another ?

  • That's what I'm saying.

  • If that's true, I want to ask you, if wushu does not differ in any way, why then do we fight each other ?

  • I believe for all the styles of wushu, there is no single one that is superior. All of those who practice different styles of wushu, they would naturally have a different level of skill. Through competition, we can discover ourselves. 
     
  • What you just said makes me have more respect for you. Enjoy

  • You first

its hard to enjoy life when their is so much grading. I've come across people who grade this computer is better or that camera is the best, but to say this is better than that one when it really doesn't matter. All that matters is that you enjoy them.

For the items themselves don't grade themselves, it is people who say this is good and that is bad when in reality there is no good nor bad...as everything has a strength and everything has a weakness.

If you are enjoying what your doing with what you have then that is all that matters.  When we start grading we begin to be unhappy.
