From the Daily Buddhist Wisdom from Beliefnet.com:
A person of wisdom should be truthful, without arrogance, without deceit, not slanderous and not hateful. The wise person should go beyond the evil of greed and miserliness.
Do not get excited by what is old, do not be contented with what is new. Do not grieve for what is lost or be controlled by desire.
-Sutta-nipata, translated by H. Saddhatissa

What is wrong with being hateful, all people are ruled by desire in one form or another even Buddha.

Well said mystic. I have always found the rules of others to be lacking in my views. But I am Sith so I hold somewhat rebellious views.

Not to appear rude, but my perspective is my own personal view. Ok then, here's a good question for you (and I also hope not to appear rude): what is your interest in this board and in the Jedi/Sith communities? Maybe if we start off with that question this conversation could go somewhere  ~Alena |
