Did you mean to say, “one who closes his heart to the person, rather than condemning the action, himself falls into darkness”? That would make a certain sense to me. I’ve felt for a long time that there is no such thing as evil, only those who are misguided and follow what are at root base desires. To close ones heart to the misguided leads one only to one’s own darkness.

Re: The Path of the Empath
I think this is pretty related about introverted intuitives.
The 5 things?
They don't chase belonging
They say less, but mean more
They don't react immediately
They connect dots
Shift between silence and sudden depth

Not going or being crazy
Thus have I heard and so I've been told:
Everybody is somebody's weirdo
With the exception of @lobster, @lobster is everybody's weirdo

Nothing wrong with being a little crazy.
Just don't overdo it.

Re: No Buddhist Quotes
“Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.”
— Rumi

Re: Listening to the heart
It is said that there are three Storehouses
First is of the materiel - Job, house - material possessions
Second is of the body - Healthy body and mind
Third is the storehouse of the Heart - Example Buddha and Bodhisattva
Growing empathy, compassion, courage, perseverance and wisdom
The heart of a Buddha is the heart (mind) that fills the self with a love that embraces not just self, but all others. "My worth is boundless, as is that of everyone, without exception."
When a Buddha or Bodhisattva shows anger toward a person, it is not anger at the person but his/her actions. Actions which denigrated, do not value others thus denigrating that person. One who thus closes his/her heart falls into darkness.
peace to all

Re: How do Buddhists feel about pop culture representations of their philosophy
I guess I'll just wing it and see how it goes. It will publish online on a weekly basis. It's a good excuse to provide myself with creative work and take it slow (I used to make like 600 pages in 4-5 months, obsessively really. Taking it slow and just producing a page or two each week will make a huge difference in quality, considering the technique keeps me experimenting.
