ok, then I'll raise you three absolutes

I'll see your bet and raise you two absolutes...

an iron fist (if needed) in a silk glove.... an indomitable will, wisdom and a heart of gold, these are also needed to deal with that which would corrupt or destroy the goodness mentioned by Brahma Viharas

true, and if we can't do the so called little things right then we we wont do big things well either...

good point but I'm talking more about all of us and not just a few of us,

right...

Imo JK was an anti-guru guru which was his form of incongruent hypocrisy...

sounds like more wonderful and enlightened platitude's...

Good news, human madness will actually end on this Earth when this Earth becomes/evolves into more like a heaven for then madness/adharma will not be able manifest upon Her, as for other human/soul type habitations or worlds where madness can still manifest that is above my pay grade.

I'd say when most of humanity evolves enough it will about end...at least on the Earth. most of humanity know all the wise sayings, but alas....

yea that is an age old saying...

We keep repeating (or often) a lot of madness and seem to always learn the hard ward...but I feel such can only repeat for so long (besides for ages!) and then come to an end at last, how about you?

Star Trek, "Strange New Worlds" is taking for ever for a new season to be released! Btw a past episode had the whole crew come under a singing spell for communication, it was quite unique and entertaining.

intermediary processes and teachings have a place and order, (granted such can become corrupted and go awry) but the deeper meaning is they help and have the keys to unlock that which is inside a student for the student, since a true helper has unlocked the same within themselves....without that they too would be bound up somewhere within mind stuff.
