Re: Infinite Compassion
when the situation is about to consume you through death or by the way rage consumes us sometimes, violence can be an appropriate balance.
The bigger picture shows that compassion is the appropriate reaction.
And so, 'ultimately', infinate compassion is entirely appropriate!
Infinate Compassion[IC], ocean of love - that is the Dali Lama.
It would be fun, really great, to show I.C. at times like when you have been ripped off, and then giving the thief your watch too; The cop who beat you up for your long hair would benefit from your dedicated friendship[but it would enrage him] - what could we do to show IC for these ones?
or, like when Bush enslaves islam and kills the rest of us, we could - ??
Even the Dali would have trouble finding ways to show compassion to true evil on the scale BushCO operates.
Forgiveness? - That may be the only thing to give some of these sinners.
