Re: With harm to none/for the highest good of all concerned question
There's also an underlying belief here that there is "higher good" and there is "harm". Is there, really? What you consider "harm" might end up being the catalyst for amazing change and healing for someone. What you consider "higher good" might end up contributing to someone never living up to their potential because they didn't have to. These are only a couple of possible examples, as it's really infinite.
At one time, I held a belief in "highest good" and similar concepts, but that's pretty much gone now. I still choose to do certain things and to refrain from others, because of the character I choose to play, to be. But what is "good" and "evil"? I certainly don't know any more.
The farther one travels, the less one knows. The less one really knows. (George Harrison, paraphrasing Hindu scriptures.)
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
