Blue - thank you for this thread. It is very inspirational to read how we are assisted throughout our lives. Sometimes the "wrong" thing to do is very much the RIGHT thing. It reminds me of the story a famous "teacher" once told asking what person who had livestock would allow that animal to suffer and die just because there was some law on the books that "said" you could not help the animal on a specific day.
Reminds me also of Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development.
In what I am reading, the Ts who went above and beyond the call of duty to actually assist a fellow human in true need are operating at the highest stages - 5 or even 6.
Sticking to the letter of the Law is only stage 4.
My hats off to those who know what true morality is inside their souls and practice it - thereby changing the world one person at a time.
