Re: Left and Right, Black and White

This discussion regarding the left or the right intrigued me. There 
are many shades of gray regarding the "right" path, relatively 
speaking.

Who's to say that the right-handed path is not really the left-handed 
path or vice-versa?

What is your reasoning for saying that the left-handed path is a 
valid path if it leads to a more delusional state of mind? Isn't 
that the path of insanity?

How is it that the right-handed path can lead to confusion? Perhaps, 
those who are in confusion on the right-handed path are really on the 
left-handed path. A sure-footed fanatic who thinks he is on the 
right-handed path may not be where he thinks he is at.

I would like to know what you think of my questions.

Alessi Fedorowicz
