The first paragraph is based on the fears of the unbelievers.
The truly faithful know that we are asked only to do our utmost
knowing that there will often be times when our actions or in-actions
inadvertently appear to cause suffering.
This is the essence of morality:
that the intent is entirely more vital than the outcome.
The second paragraph does reveal that it appears that our sadness
grows with our moral positioning. This is not entirely wrong,
but the mind that openly can feel infinite sadness thereby also
opens the heart to infinite joy. When a fear of sadness cuts the
person off from all feeling, then the roots of pathology are planted.
There is no laughter where there are no tears.
That is why the Buddha is really a type of spiritual suicide.
Because the rapture of pure enlightenment is attained
by embracing feeling of ever increasing passion and variation
of emotional hue.
The most noble and powerful warrior is he who can kill with
compassion, sadness and love for his foe. His mind is at utter
peace in the midst of the strife, whereas the fearful, angry,
and vengeful are those that have become like that by rejecting
emotions like sadness. They are blinded by their own fury.
They are easily defeated; because they have defeated themselves.
Please elaborate on the following, kindly make the sadness more prominent so I could digest what u are trying to say

I was hoping someone would ask,
as there is more implicit info here.
Karl Jung identified 5 core emotional states:
Love, Joy, Anger, Sadness &
Enlightenment.
The first four are termed the 'tetragrammaton',
the four primary states of God's name,
the fifth is the 'quintessential' element which
results from the four being in harmony.
In male society especially, there is often a
tendency towards a state of war (anger)
because of an inhibition against sadness.
Whenever confronted with intense
emotion, focus on what makes you angry,
then feel sad about it to the very end.
No amount of sadness over caused harm
because it is an entirely introverted state.
Then once the tears have passed, love
comforts, and then joy returns us to the
unified harmony of enlightenment.
Those who refuse to feel sadness
out of fear of seeming weak, become
overpowered by anger. They cannot
focus in a heated state, they are easily
defeated by the enlightened mind.
The subconscious repressed negative
memories destroy their mind.
These states are represented by the 5
pagan deities from the Greeks
which are also the 5 visible planets
with their Roman names
Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter
and Mercury.
Note that the tetragrammaton form
2 pairs of pairs, positive and negative,
introverted and extroverted,
So that the negative extrovert is Mars,
and the positive introvert is Venus,
etc...
In any problematic state of mind,
identify the four elements of that
problem clearly, this way they are kept
in harmony, and enlightenment,
then Gnosis is attained.
