[Buddha-l] Ethical Dilemmas

[Stefan Detrez]

Continued. Pressed the send button too soon.


> Not acting can motivated by not wishing to actively cause pain, and
> allowing pain to be caused is slightly different - you can allow pain by
> consciously chosing to do so, but you can also refrain from consciously
> chosing to allow pain to be caused. The result is the same, but the
> motivation is different. You'd think becoming trapped in a moral paralysis
> is morally justifiable, eventhough such justification would have horrible
> consequences.
