Steve's answer about the question regarding relaxing the rules and his advice "when in doubt keep the rule or ask other people", from the women's liberation movement I can tell a lot of examples where it is very important not to keep rules and to fight for a change. In other words, until the late 1960s in Germany, a wife needed the signature of her husband to allow her to go working. To be politically active for women's rights is very important in my life, not thinkable without changing rules or laws, and doubt about rules and laws is very important. So what is a wise dealing with doubts about rules and laws?

How does activism, speaking up about unjust, wrong or unethical things in the world, fit in our practice? It seems to be a potential trap for aversion, yet possibly so beneficial for the world. Why does activism so often turn into aversion? How to find balance within ourselves?
