é™æ€è¯ Readings For Silent Reflection

if there is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil....reasoning would lapse into extreme point of neutrality or balance or emptiness where right/ wrong, good/ evil becomes meaningless as they are created out of judgemental elements of the mind. To accept whatever outcome is as it is without division between subject-object, than to intend what should be or ought not to be, i.e. to take sides according to weighted reasoning and the intended best outcome; which may be right in one perspective, but wrong from another perspective. Once there is such clear distinction, this would help resolve human (subjective) problems at hand due to "utmost necessity", but violate the (objective) truth of emptiness - the human realm vs emptiness realm....it is a distinction necessary towards human engagement to solve human problems only... it is a challenge ...but one which needs a new adaptation...i would coin it Humanistic (Subjective) Buddhism; or in other words, it is also widely known as Pragmatic Buddhism ..but somewhat different... If i were to violate the so called objective truth to save a person's life, should i not?

I have a qns. A friend of mine owe me money. She keeps playing with me that she will return but I doubt so. Should I write off as bad debt? If this is it, please let me know.
If it's a small sum and she really did not pay you back, you may treat her as your karmic debtor. Meaning you might have owed her money in your past life, you are paying what you had owed her. If that's not the case, she will pay you back one day, either in this or next life. Karma can never go wrong as it's law of nature. However, you also must have the wisdom not to lend money to her again unless it's life and death matter.
I'm always mentally prepared not to get back the money when I lend money to someone who's poor and borrow money for 3 meals. I treat it as donations and I'm sure I can afford to do without that sum of money. However, I'm careful not to lend money to people who borrow money for things which I think they can do without.

On net? Do you mean facebook? If yes, just unfriend her. I always unfriend those people who give me problem whether on net or in real life. Don't let others' comments affect you. They will stop after sometime if they see no response from you. Life is short, don't bother too much about what others think or write about you unless you have to face her everyday, then you have to think of something to deal with the problem. If not, why bother?
