It’s funny, the friction that ‘taking sides’ can have with ideals of ‘equanimity.’ How the desire to see things from all sides can sometimes backslide into regressive positions, by trying to justify through context the actions of another.
Well, almost funny, if it didn’t lead to so many people suffering so needlessly.
While there is always a context for why things happened, it is always essential to maintain the clarity of view that allows us to determine right thing to do. It may be called the middle way, but it is made up of a series of rights.
Powerful words. Powerful view.
