But they are of course free to have the opposite view, and you should respect that. What you say maybe right for an Advaitin or a Buddhist (and even here with some reservations possibly, according to their stage of developmenet as they perceive it.), but doesn't necessarily apply to other creeds. > Wouldn't a more "high vibe" reaction be to > get beyond reaction?
