An Ahimsa Crisis: You Decide: Forgot How To Hate

Recently, in July 2010, by chance, I happened to meet with a remarkable person  - Dr. Ron Potter, an audiologist. He is a Lutheran Christian and lives in the city of Waterloo, Iowa. I met Ron several times and spent many hours with him in discussion and in getting to know each other better. The more I came to know of him, the more I realized that he is truly a remarkable man, a true gentleman, and caring, honest, humble, compassionate, simple, truthful, and straightforward. One day he told me that during the last thirty plus years, he has never hated anyone based on any differences of caste, creed, religion, position, power, wealth, or nationality. He does meditation every day, asks for forgiveness, and if he hurts anyone, immediately he tries to contact that person and ask for forgiveness. Honestly, I believe all this what he told me. In my opinion, he lives by ahimsa all the time. He is not yet a complete vegetarian, but in that too he is trying to become one. You can see, the practice of ahimsa has no boundaries.
