question - nondualism - is fighting evil a contradiction?
- Pondering this idea raises the question:
- Is fighting evil a contradiction?
- Do we fall into duality if we fight evil?
- Does nonduality imply not creating categories of morality of good and evil?
- This question has no answer because
- If you understand the question, you are already
- a language user
- applying some morality
- We are already post category and post linguistic
- we can never undo this and get back to pre-category and pre-linguistic
- Fighting evil cannot conquer it because
- in fighting evil, this implies using (deadly) force
- deadly force results in death, the most extreme form of suffering
- It is tantamount to abuse and justifying death is the greatest act of separation, causing great suffering to the other
- In effect, we have the same result as the abuser and this can create a new generation of abused
question - nilhism - how do we prevent falling into?
- Rather, what is needed is to PENETRATE moral relativism / dualism altogether to re-discover the common sacred ground both moral categories are based upon
- The use of force as a form of vengeance
- is the perpetuation of the abused-abuser cycle
