We thought we were being correct, but it was really about needing to feel in control of something. Correctness is not rigidity. Correctness is precision. Precision happens when you are so sensitive at heart and open that you can accurately perceive the reality of a situation and respond naturally with wisdom and compassion. It's not a big mental exercise.
Precision is fully awake integration of mind, heart, body and environment.
There is no objective consumer data to support this claim. Nichiren was precise. In one of his letters, Nichiren writes about different degrees of slander and what a person should do about them. One single quote is the foundation of this whole matter of correctness. The most important thing is to continually strengthen our wish to benefit others.
