I came across some important news recently. A French man who refused to kill Algerian civilians during the Algerian War of Independence passed away. Imagine if all soldiers were like him, deciding not to simply obey orders that involved taking someone’s life. If that were the case, we wouldn’t have wars. He paid for his choice with four years in jail, but he made the right one. Unfortunately, this hero is an exception. I've noticed that sometimes people prefer being told what to do and being manipulated, so they don’t have to take responsibility for their actions.
In classical Tantra, we learn that it is best to accept the free will of all. If someone chooses to be manipulated, it is their choice. Still, I hope many people sign up for your challenge! Thank you for this great initiative.
