Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fishalt" data-source="post: 122819" data-attributes="member: 228">I've been interested in Buddhism for some time. Some aspects of it I agree with, others I can't understand how anybody could possibly disagree with, and others again I think are futile, or even immoral. An example of the latter would be extreme pacifism. At a certain point, pacifism becomes immoral, but Buddhism always advocates for this regardless of the circumstance. A case in point would be a parent brutally beating a child in the street. It would be immoral not to intervene, even if this meant exerting violence. Same deal if a woman was being raped. Doing nothing in such situations is immoral, not moral.I've never met anybody who has escaped Samsara. But by the same token, I've never met a person who wasn't subjected to it, whether they have realized this or not. In a sense, all of us have died many times before. Unless of course you believe you're the same person you were when you were two. That person no longer exists.</blockquote>
