Hi all,

Over at a friend's house the other night, I noticed this statement on a poster in his living room --

"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality."

I guess the Swiss are in trouble...

Do you agree with the statement? Is it in line with, or contradictory to, the Buddha's teachings? How should a Buddhist respond in "times of great moral crisis" -- and particularly in situations where one or more parties are behaving in ways that directly and intentionally cause suffering?
Hi Lazy Eye,

I think first of all I'd like to know how you define "great moral crisis." Any examples?
