Metta is a Buddhist concept - it is commonly translated as 'loving kindness' but someone else might have a more informed way of explaining it. Lots of spiritual concepts from other cultures don't translate neatly into English.

The meaning gets across. We could all do with more Buddhist philosophy.
I lean toward Sri Ramakrishna, seeking nirvana.

PS: Feedback - the warning system is good. I don't want to exit the list out of frustration with comments, so would like to know that there are some consequences for discriminatory or inflammatory posts.

This system is formally in place now and will be applied as needed.

lose subscribers.
