: I'm not prepared to declare anything
: objectively 'good' or 'bad,' Butcho. I'm
: not smart enough for that, but you
: apparently are.
:
: 'Cultivation = Good.' And in all cases,
: yes?
:
: Regarding good/bad/desirable/undesirable, it
: all comes down to perspective. If I get
: gunned down walking to my car, my absence
: creates new openings in other lives and in
: other spaces. Some of those openings will
: prove undesirable. Some won't.
:
: Not that I want to get gunned down, mind
: you.
:
: I intend to live to a ripe old age and
: torment josef right up to the bitter end.
:
: Steve
:
:
: From a universal point of view taking
: everything into account nothing is good or
: bad; desirable or undesirable.
:
: For me though certain things can be said to
: be good or bad, stroking a tiger is bad for
: me, the tiger might think its good; brushing
: my teeth is good but bad for the bacteria.
: Its my perspective.
:
: Subjectivity is the only perspective.
:
: "The universe is without compassion
: Treating all things like straw dogs
:
: Wise people are without compassion
: Treating all clans like straw dogs"
:
: My translation.
:
assinity,

The sage treats the ego as a straw dog.
