Is it possible to violate just ONE of the Three Gates?
PRACTICALLY speaking…yes. Ultimately…perhaps not.
In conversation with my ex-Military Right-wing friend, I realized that I couldn’t trust him to admit he was wrong about core positions, even if it was in black and white right in front of him.
He also attacks verbally. I tested to see what the MEANING of the attempted insult might be, by answering in kind. It stung him. He didn’t like it. Oh, ok, THAT’S the meaning. He was trying to bully me.
