On the one hand you are saying we should stand forever. On the other you are saying it isnt always possible. So, who gets to judge when someone has done enough? Who gets to decide that when one person is standing that he is better than someone who isn't?
It is the literal meaning of the M vows that cause great conflict in me. I did say I would stand forever! Yet, now, maybe I won't be able to.
It has nothing to do with deciding for another, or who is better. I certainly don't consider myself any better than anyone here. I know we all do our best.
I know sometimes we have to move on from a situation where we gave it our all.
I know some aren't even given a chance to stand.
I would never intentionally, knowingly, "judge" another for their choice, least of all a dedicated DB member. Yet, unknowingly, that is what I have done, which is why I apologized. I hope this helps to clear things up.
