the ultimate act of compassion - Japan

[zenmaster]

oh man get off of it . your arrogant . your insulting to people and u try to come across like some pseudo intellectual. but the one thing i dont see in u is love . get real man get off of this superiority thing. tell us something about yourself personally . we know nothing about it but u set yourself up as some kind of judge. ive never heard u say anything nice to anybody
bottom line is this cowards start stuff on the internet to fill the emptiness in their lives knowing they never have to answer to those they insult.
and you are a coward.

Great, an arrogant coward is it? You do realize that is complete projection? At the point we set ourselves up as beyond reproach for any of our opinions, there really is no hope. To me, that's 'arrogance' and being a 'coward'. You do understand that? I have no problem at all answering for any of mine in these forums. That type of responsibility, continually clarifying, backing up (if required) and standing behind my comments, is hardly cowardice, after all. Further, I would not result to name calling, which obviously leads to no where, in rebuke - we have so many other more effective options with which to express ourselves. At the point I see that type of separating language (no being of light, arrogant, coward, pseudo intellectual), I know there is no progress possible, because one must have personal issues to first digest if that's what's sincerely offered.

I will offer an apology for whatever you may have taken as a personal insult, however. Words can never fully express intention, and some opinions can be disruptive to one's sense of harmony and well-being. I think some people cling so tightly to their ideas, even those supposedly based solely on indivisible, pure love and light, that one finds oneself walking on 'egg shells' in order not to disrupt their fragile and precarious belief system.

Maybe the ends, even it results in a person living or dying, do not justify the means?

Yes, I had a similar feeling when I read the piece too. I thought that it would have been better to forget what the corporations get in the bargain and just do what is right and good, to the highest light and transparency possible, with the funds received.

Like you insinuate, it should not matter what large MNCs get in the transaction, if a few more people can be elevated from hell on earth to some modicum of decent human existence. Of course, Krishnan may have his own ideas and some inner insights, of which I am not privy.

Actually, I was not really insinuating that it should not matter what the large MNCs get in the transaction (although I personally believe it should not matter). I was wondering particularly about what those inner insights might be. Every action has a consequence and some people, for one reason or another, can see a bigger picture than most. To me I can't imagine what the negative consequences would be, even in the long run. I think only once a person has the hindrance of their survival needs taken care of can they get on with their evolution.
