So what you are saying is that living within your personal boundaries if you deign to judge my actions or another enlightened person's actions as worthy of your acceptance, or not, then you deem that person as enlightened, or not? Don't you get how completely f*cked up that sounds? I would hope that as a person I am liked by at least some on this forum, but to put my actions in the perverted spotlight that you are proposing is just crazy.
