I've just unintentionally really hurt someone, and perversely, only by trying to do the right thing and be compassionate and going out of my way to avoid creating hurt. I now face (for a simpleton like me) quite a dilemma, and I'm totally brooding about it and can't switch off. The knock-on effects of this are that I just can't 'get on the cushion' properly. So it seems I can meditate when everything's hunky-dory but this just unravels when life goes a bit tits up and I just can't stop thinking about what an arse I've been without meaning to be. Have any of you long-term meditators had this experience? Is there such a thing as a 'fair-weather meditator'.
