Asking those '500 years/lifetimes as a fox' questions. To answer 'yes' would assert there is such a thing as compassion, and that it has some kind of balancing relationship with greed and hatred. To answer 'no' also asserts there is such a thing as compassion, but it doesn't have that kind of relationship with greed and hatred. So, how about...'Come closer and I'll tell you'. ...Bill! --- In mailto:Zen_Forum%40yahoogroups.com, Anthony Wu <wuasg@...> wrote: > > ED, >  > Does compassion act to more or less neutralize greet and hatred? >  > Anthony > > > ________________________________ > From: ED <seacrofter001@...> > To: mailto:Zen_Forum%40yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, 19 June 2012, 22:31 > Subject: Re: [Zen] Philosophy, Left, and Right > > >  > > Anthony, > Yes. To some degree, acquisitiveness and aversion are necessary for the > survival and propagation of sentient beings on this plane of existence. > We (currently existing sentient beings on earth) are the fittest descendents > of the winners in the evolutionary game of eat, survive, reproduce. > --ED >  > --- In mailto:Zen_Forum%40yahoogroups.com, Anthony Wu <wuasg@> wrote: > > Nevertheless, the new beings will still have greed and hatred. > > > > Anthony >
