Tony - Explain karma etc

[Guest guest]

Tony - Thanks for the clarification. To me, this isn't a matter of

being a university graduate or not. It's a matter of clarifying the

nature of compassion. Believing that massacres are okay due to karmic

interweavings can be a belief that might be used (indeed has been used) to

support massacres.

Believing that there is no good and evil could be used to support

destructive aims (and in fact has).

I *don't* think you are doing this yourself. However,

if one does believe that compassionate involvement is worthwhile, then

how will this be explained? Compassion, in my mind, indicates that

there is more to Reality than it being beyond good and evil and karmically

balanced. This "something more" is beyond ideology and not a matter of

beliefs. I think you express compassion, and that is important to me.

 

Thanks, Dan
