Tell ya what, lurk on the morals and ethics thread, I'm trying right now to make it funny and use skillful means, be up next week.
I use deceptive manipulation with my students, but a Hell of a lot more in this Hell hole, mostly to drum up business...
we can pick apart our emotions like that of other's and I'm using emoticons to express my emotional states and when my
greater purpose is helping other's ya should see a lot more laughs and I become very skillful with the wind of compassion at my back blowing strongly and my heart full of joy while my intentions are crystal clear to my self, putting other's before me. Nature made me that way, I just have the clarity of mind to see it, after long years on the path and discovering it's true meaning, I still am...
Deceptive deceitful behavior is considered immoral and unethical because it is mostly done for evil purposes. Intention is everything in these matters and one must have clarity of mind and put others interests first in using it, some times it hurts.
I love ya like yer mommy, but like yer mommy I will sometimes spank you, if I did not love you, how could I look into your heart?
If I'm working for you too, it makes me stronger and happier too. Change the world one heart and mind at a time, start with yerself first though.
This my teaching DYI
