Balancing - The importance of balancing everything to gain the most peace and happiness!
It is important to balance kindness (metta) with wisdom (panna) when living among others. Otherwise one may find one’s kindness being taken advantage of and abused leading one to great suffering (dukkha). So know whom, when and how best to help, and also when its best not to help at all.
Buddhism (Dhamma) is not blind religion. There is no blind anything in Buddhism, whether it be faith (saddha), kindness (metta), or anything else for that matter. On the contrary its very much a seeing religion, being able to see and understand (panna) things with one’s own eye of wisdom (the unpolluted mind), where one reflects on the situations, problems and issues encountered with a clear mind and then formulates a skillful response.
So always balance everything including kindness (metta), with understanding and wisdom (panna). This way, whatever is done will give the best result.
