The Buddha says:

If the string of an instrument is too tight, it will break.

If the string is too loose, it will not make any sound.

If the string is just right, it will make beautiful music.

Since we have chosen to cultivate ourselves according to the proper Dharma, we must stick to it without giving up halfway. We must fearlessly refrain from evil and practice the proper Dharma. We must always concentrate on this without a moment’s rest. Don’t give up after you have already started.

What is the best way to treat a terminally ill patient?

It must be extremely painful when a person is no longer independent and must rely on others for everything. Forcing him to live on without dignity really does him no good. Why not just let nature take its course? We need to find a balance between reason and emotions. It is not helpful to be either too rational or too emotional.
