  Speaking of artificial judgements and divisions. The samurai book 'Hagakure' has a quote that struck me on the first line when I read it.

  "Feeling deeply the difference between oneself and others, bearing ill will and falling out with people — these things come from a heart that lacks compassion. If one wraps up everything with a heart of compassion, there will be no coming into conflict with people."
