There is relatively little that the Pali texts say on “ethics” in a modern Western sense of interpersonal action-guiding; much of the specific instructions on action are found in vinaya, legal texts for the conduct of monks.

[it is important to wrestle with what we find most unappealing, because that can be what we learn the most from. Yet that faith should not be blind; we should not simply swallow the tradition’s words whole irrespective of what we have learned in other areas of life.] - Amod Lele

[while I don’t follow its prohibition on alcohol, that prohibition is found in plenty of other places. But the Sigālovāda also tells one not to sleep even until sunrise. And most alarmingly, it also includes a prohibition on frequenting theatrical shows.]

Semiology says that nothing can be defined: it´s all interpretation. Most of the concepts in Social Sciences are like that but we go by practical and current usages. Once upon a time communal was a salutary term but now a days it´s reserved for pejorative sense. Hence middle path

This desire to change the world and the unproven faith that that will heal the rift within us is so strong in the left-liberal that he is forced to demonize all other points of view. This disease of righteousness is the reason that left-libs appear neurotic to everyone else.
