But you are mistaken. The perfect student is unhappy, discontent and searching for help. The perfect student may be aggresive and challenging, hostile and irritated The perfect student is noisy, demanding and arrogant. The perfect teacher is able to handle all of this with skill and ease. Larry Epston The perfect student is sufficiently willing to learn that no other teacher is needed.

But then, whether teacher or student or master or slave; whether rich or poor, good or bad, enlightened or deluded; whether this or that or OM TAT SAT...Who ar What is GOOD? There was a fairly sharp guy walking the hills of Galilee a short while back, geologically speaking, who posed this question with unresponsive result. But to be a paraphrasing pharisee for now, I'll say your post is good. : - ) ......bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acting ethically in any situation is Good; acting unethically is Bad. What are good and what are bad ethics? In my view, doing anything that leads to the harm of oneself or others or to the planet is bad ethics; doing anything which is harmless or least harmful to oneself and others and to the planet is good ethics. We really need to think about the potential consequences of our every action before we act. Each one of us lives in different situations so our actions have relative effects. Relative to the situation we're in. We have the ability to use our intelligence to determine the outcome of our actions. Acting in the least harmful way is always the wisest course to follow. Loving-kindness and compassion ought to be considered carefully before we do anything. For this, we need no teacher to show us the way. We are our own best guide as to what to do. It doesn't matter Who we are. We have an inner teacher to show us the way of righteousness (for lack of a better word.) " Silver " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
