Hi Element! Boy this is a tricky one, isn't it! I personally really struggle with this, as I tend to be very judgmental and black and white about issues of "right" and "wrong", all under the convenient umbrella of strictness. At this point, I don't profess to have an answer, but I'm aware of it and have faith that eventually I'll have the wisdom to understand. I'm a follower of Ajahn Chah, and he taught "It's all uncertain." and "Not Sure" as helpful concepts with some of these issues, so at least now I delay and contemplate a bit further than in the past. Or maybe the ultimate Emptiness of all things is the resolution. It is a most interesting subject and look forward to further discussion as we proceed along The Path. Best wishes in your cultivation, Tom
