So if we adopt this phylosophy can we use it in other arears? Say like I have the idea to donate $1000 to save the children and right out the check, then don't send it. Have I done any good?

Can I use the good intention on my taxes?

What happens to the person that relizes he has had some bad teachings or just plain old wrong thinking? Is he/she still punished? How for do we take it?

Didn't Tom Cruis play in a movie on this subject?
