[QUOTE="Norbert L, post: 76212891, member: 240088"] People aren't mind readers. Personally I wanted to know whether you're trolling or not. Thank you for your clarification. It's called the road to hell is paved with good intentions. When a person's view of what looks good to them is actually evil. Case in point. If you're familiar with the case of Boston bombing suspect as the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. People were outraged that what they thought should look ugly actually looks attractive. The greatest evils in history happen when something looks good from a position of ignorance. It's not as if Mao, Stalin and Hitler were in some dark Hollywood tower chanting "[I]what evil can I do today[/I]". They believed what they were doing was a good thing for mankind and enough people also likewise believed them to make the fruits of their labor become real in our world. I would say this is a cautionary tale for every Buddhist, be careful for what you chant for. It may seem wise and pleasant to a person's inner eye but the end result will become death. [/QUOTE]
