Re: Social responsibility vs individualism

the middle way requires constant polarity shifts, from hard to soft, from quick to slow, from discipline to freedom, each a correction to the previous state of attachment, to prevent arrestation from setting in. One who teaches should be capable of administering what is needed when it is needed, having overcome partiality to personal opinions and states of being where social conventions are concerned.

If your temper rises withdraw your hand, if your hand rises withdraw your temper.
