RE: Why Moral Comparisons May Be More Painful Than Social Ones

in #psychology8 years ago (edited)

I've always been able to see the good in people, however some of them have been psychopaths...lololol ....in My Buddhist practice, the paramitas, the virtues like loving wise kindness, compassion, wisdom, sympathetic joy are the path to Freedom from suffering. From my practice, virtuous moral behavior causes less stress in my life, it simplifies my life, also helps see things clearly. I don't show off, like virtue signaling, because this, "look at me I'm so good and you are so bad, you better behave," can lead to jealousy from others and with virtue singling manipulation on my part....being humble and modest has to be handled carefully too...so complicated because these qualities are no longer taught in our society from my experience. Edit....I took the practice on as an antidote to greed, anger, jealousy, and hatred.

I don't know why but our conversation is making me laugh...I know we all have that problem ... the psychopaths that I mentioned in my first post would be in the wood chipper if I hadn't taken up the paramitas (the virtues as a path)...you know, like in Fargo

I kept thinking of moral relativism when reading, I had to read your article 3 times because it's a little bit above my ability to grok ....

There are certain kinds of behaviors that are not healthy and I will be the judge of that in my life.

By the way very nice article

I think those are the right reasons:)

They helped me heal from the ups and downs of life. And now I'm much easier to be with...well, sometimes, I am especially grumpy when painting...
