If in a competitive society
you are sincere and honest,
in some circumstances people
may take advantage of you.
If you let someone do so,
he or she will be engaging in an
unsuitable action and accumulating
bad Karma that will harm
the person in the future. Thus it is
permissible, with an altruistic
motivation, to take counteraction
in order to prevent the other person
from having to undergo
the effects of this
wrong action.
在一個競爭的社會裡若你只是正直誠實,
某些情況下有人可能會佔你便宜.
如果你讓人如此做, 他(她)就會犯下一個
不適當的行為, 累積不好的業報
而導致對自己未來的傷害.
因此, 在利他的動機下,
為了預防別人犯錯後而須承擔的後果,
採取一個反制動作是可以的.
