RE: Spicy gossip --- The UGLY entertainment
The quote from your prophet is a very wise statement from a very great philosopher!
There are similar parables in our Bible, and in Buddism in particular, the high art of constant balance in all thoughts and actions is a sign of imminent enlightenment.
Only a few are and were enlightened on this earth. Prophets... So the "ordinary" human being has a lot to do, but can and should at least make an effort...
Yes, it's the effort that counts. To err is but human. Maintaining equilibrium and mindfulness is a key aspect of spiritual growth and a sign that someone is on the right path. And almost every 'belief system' out there preaches the same thing.
