I'll have to re-read with a more open mind.<BR/><BR/>Humility in a north american context seems like an utopy. And a life-long achivement at the same time. But what is it really? None of the definitions here seem to fill the need in my mind for a true definition or one that would fit. Maybe I don't understand the concept yet. Or maybe it's something we should define ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Everything is one. I've heard that idea lots of time. And if you think of it... I'm one with a serial killer? What he does affects my life? No, not my life, our lives and our worlds? If so, why? So that we collectively learn something? How do we tap into that collective? Is it possible? Or are we always connected but simply "decide" to not feel connected? Is humility accepting that?<BR/><BR/>Lots of questions. They say a good text makes your mind work. Mine is spinning right now. :)<BR/><BR/>cheers!Mathieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914289317924626891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18465541.post-1148448876724394542006-05-24T00:34:00.000-05:002006-05-24T00:34:00.000-05:00"...the 10th kyu is as important as the 10th Dan."..."...the 10th kyu is as important as the 10th Dan."<BR/><BR/>I've seen some animosity over the ranking system in the martial arts, and I'm referring to black belts.
