>>> if you were not a masochist you would fail in you kindness towards one that was one if you refused to whip him when he begged you to.
No, you wouldn’t fail in kindness here. Not by your description of kindness: “Kindness implies good intention, helpfulness and love and concern towards another beings happiness,comfort and well being.”
>>>I eliminate this conflict by interacting on a personal level with other people by just simply following cost vs. benefit.
You’ve placed value on avoiding conflict. All other conditions being equal, I’d agree, it is better to avoid conflict. :)
>>>cost vs. benefit
Cost and benefit are calculated based on what we value, isn’t it? Does being honest have value to you, by itself, such that it would have to be outweighed by some condition in order for you to be dishonest?
If so, then honesty or truth has an unconditioned (inherent) value for you.
You comments indicate that you believe unconditioned/absolute values exist. I believe this is what distinguishes us as human,
thanks again.
