Greetings,It is so difficult to go beyond our limited human reasoning...Religion, Science, Philosophy... all, in the end, dwell in the realm of the beliefs and perspectives of said individual... An authoritative figure, a scholar... Please allow me to rephrase...There are tribes in Africa, in the Amazon and other places that still today practice human sacrifice to appease their gods. This is part of their religion belief. toxicjunction.com/get.asp?i=V4486Is that right or is that wrong?

If one looks closely at the Buddha's original teaching, one discoveres a different meaning of the word "right. " Right is not the opposite of wrong. In fact, the notion of good vs. bad is, itself, a harmful and ineffective notion.
Rather, effective action is action that has the desired effect. In Buddhism, the direction is towards the elimination of suffering. That which is intended to eliminate suffering, and does so, is effective.
Keep doing it! Love is the intention that we all be free from suffering. Awareness and balance are what we can practice to live in ways that reduce suffering.
Wisdom is understanding and action that reduce or eliminate suffering, and cultivate peace, joy, and Loving Awareness. Awareness, harmless and healing intent towards ourselves and all beings, and a willingness to see the actual results of our actions and become more skillful are all key.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
