A talk from our recent Zazenkai: We should recognize the natural emotional reactions, yet not drown in those reactions, when a friend or loved one greatly disappoints. It is so good and worthwhile in life to stay open, trusting, loving and caring even when, sometimes, once in awhile, it will come around to bite one.
The sometime "bad apple" can do great damage, and get all the headlines and attention, but never forget that there is still an orchard of good apples out there who do not get as many headlines in this world. Never close up.
