I agree with "spreading realization, not saving the world."
To "identify" is the first step, but to "guru/do as I said" is to infringe on freewill.
But, that doesn't mean voicing/telling someone to stop kicking a dog for no reason is wrong either.
The exploration of the complex nature of duality is based solely on the self. Therefore, to care or not to care, is only a temporary "emotion."
"To be or not to be" Shakespeare and all of the philosophical perspectives fondle this mind/thought.
(As someone that desire and chosen STO polarity) I find the idleness or ignorant aspect of "not caring" could be dangerous. If someone hurt someone in front of you, just look the other way and not care then?
But to jump into the fight and get consumed into the conflict with the problem in an extreme manner... and how is that ok? right?
So, There is a lesson/balance in all, a balance on the string of existence.
Therefore, this existence is truly about making a choice and be conscious about it, or rinse and repeat until one chooses to move forward.
