I don't care what rabbis think, nor about souls or spirits.

A mind may be temperamental and psychology a new science, but that's the better way to approach people who may or may not exude "goodness".

Love is too extreme and drives Christian people into hypocrisy because they just can't.

Zen Buddhism, which is basically existentialism with some Tao (a basic fundamental philosophy) and dogma on top, doesn't demand that you love everyone, even the unlovable. It simply asks for compassion (understanding, sympathy, fairness, justice). To me that's FAAAAR more realistic.

" Which means to be a disciple to truth in the present moment, always and to never, ever worry. "

I do my best, but often wonder if it's enough, and I'm perpetually haunted by regrets.
