Emptiness |
I don't mean to butt into your private conversation but all of this seems rather complicated. I prefer concrete examples. :)
We've seen recently many, many jobs getting offshored. That means that a lot of people in the US have been laid off. That's bad for those people and the fact that those people now have less money to spend means that it's bad for the people who depended upon their commerce. However, it also means that a lot of people in India now have high paying jobs. It means that a lot of women in India can get jobs in IT and telephone support and they have an options that weren't available to them a few years ago. The influx of these technology jobs will change Indian culture. Some people will view those changes as good and others will view them as bad.
What I'm suggesting is that the fact that companies have moved many jobs to India is neither good nor bad. The good and bad is relative based on the viewpoints of the individuals who are affected by the change. But the change itself is empty. And it only stops being empty when we apply our judgements to it. It is in the absence of judgements or the non-attachment to judgements that we come to understand the emptiness of something.
