Hi tzu jan,
With regard to your question on the right to change, it occurs to me,
that questioning the right(iouness) of change is an unanswerable
question. As i experience life, i have not been able to notice any
right, any justice in change, any justice in not-changing. Change (or
becoming, or developing, or causing effects) just is.
I suspect that the question of right justifies only itself, in a way
that any philosophical system that supports the notion of justice, gives
the user (layman, faithful, novice, student, master or guru) of that
system a comparative advantage in the struggle of life (read: change
processes). One way or another (his tao or aother) human reasoning is
biased to find grounds for justification of his or hers behaviour (where
accepting responsibility for your deeds would sufice).
As i wrote: perhaps asking the opposite question helps: is there a grace
to change? So, as i'm typing this, is it a Gvdel proposition
(unprovable?)
("and the moral of that is - 'Be what you would seem to be'- ")
Take care,
Jan Lelie
