Question: Where is the line between not having an issue with anything and enabling or allowing? I don’t understand where I must “forget myself” and where I must stand up for something.
Answer: One should always try to “forget oneself” whenever one’s feelings about a matter are more centered around oneself — one’s image, opinion or pride — than they are with the event that stirs these sentiments; and one should stand up for what is right whenever the cost of that stance costs one something real, as in one’s image, opinion, or pride.
