If I am kind to a terrorist and the terrorist punches me in the face, that will not change my ideal. If I show compassion to a terrorist and the terrorist kills me, that will not change my ideal. These words simply reflect my loyalty to my ideal. As I've thought about this during the past few days, I've come to see the similarity between this way of being and the way of being of other warriors who are willing to die for their ideals. >> Dear Julie, I want to be sure I understand your meaning, with no error. You are saying that under NO circumstance will you take the life of another who is going to kill, either to save your own life or that of someone very, very dear to you---husband, child, significant other; or of a very significant person such as the Dalai Lama, etc. Is that your meaning?
