[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 663406, member: 16024"] Very interesting. Human nature is by and large self-interest. And what is good for me--and only me--isn't necessarily good for the family, community, or society as a whole. Some, yes, some, no. So, is this precept also implying that we should curb the baser parts of our nature and conform to the wisdom of the ages to base our behavior on, not just go with our own 'wisdom'? [/QUOTE]
