Hi Ed. In my opinion, which may very well be mistaken, one should not fall
into a nihilistic relativism when considering such things. IMO, one of the
inherent dangers of Zen practice is "falling into emptiness" and thinking that
any behavior or thinking is just as good as any other.
If you wish to be happy and have other people also be happy, then what you
think, say and do really matters. As I said before, this is just my opinion,
and I may simply be deluded. May all be happy!
