Every distinction is subjective.
To believe otherwise is the delusion.
Okay ..... l've decided you are 4 feet tall, weigh 400 pounds, were
born in East Kyakuk on Jan 3, 1995, have 8 pimples on your nose and have been
certified as insane. Do you disagree? Well, too bad, because that's what
l've decided. Since all distinctions are subjective, my opinion is as valid
as yours. Furthermore, since you're only 5 yrs old, you're obviously too
young and immature for the k list and should unsubscribe immediately.:))

I call love nothing.
What do you call it?
Let's just say that like the supreme court justice said about pornography
many years ago, l know it when l see it.
Is there a difference between murdering a murderer and murdering a so-called
'innocent'?
lf you honestly don't understand the difference between executing (as
punishment) a convicted murderer, who among other things knew the penalty for
his heinous act before he committed it, and his act against an innocent
victim who had no choices to make, who was essentially blameless ---- if you
truly don't understand the difference, then .......

Our true Buddha nature is non-violent.
Do you wish it to be otherwise?
At times -- whatever our true Buddha nature is -- we have been forced to
be violent. Otherwise the world would be in the hands of the Hitlers,
Stalins, Pol Pots, ldi Amins, mafia dons, etc etc. That doesn't mean l'm in
favor of violence -- only to the extent that it's necessary. l've already
said l'm not in favor of the death penalty, but l object to equating it to
murdering innocent people.
