A Puzzle (at least for me)

[Questioner]

Peregrinus, the Hindu answer is very clear about this in the Bhagavad Gita. Have you studied it? Although a soldier, Arjuna was dismayed at the prospect of ending the lives of his relatives and some he respected and loved. Krishna, the incarnate deity, explained that making the body unviable did not destroy the spirit's continued evolution - with all souls ultimately returning to divine union. Krisha also explained that, as a soldier, Arjuna's duty was to do his duty: fighting when there was a just war, without concern for whether his efforts would lead to success. I haven't pondered as much as I'd like to about how Hindu philosophy overlaps with the Law of One material.

Chett, you sure hit on the center of the problem. Two other entities have conflicting goals for their own lives, which leads to conflicting behavior towards each other. Any response you make - including walking away - endorses one of those goals over the other. There is no option of non-interference here, because that interferes with B's desire to be free of A's dominance. Yet if the issue is freedom from dominance, your action would then dominate A's choice to be the dominator of B.

Thanks for bringing up an intriguing thread. I feel that there is something more to be said that I wasn't able to put into words. Perhaps someone else will be able to express the feeling I can't quite explain; or something even better. You've helped me realize that my convictions in this area are far more a matter of feeling than of analysis.
