Many times we choose things to keep everyone around us happy. It is not forced decision but we somehow choose it , may be because of our conditioning or because we are compassionate about others. Is that a correct way to do things or not. If it's not then what should we do?
Sharmistha, look at the either or you've built here, correct way or not, as if there must be one clean rule that tells you in advance what to choose. That itself is the ego wanting a formula so it never has to look freshly each time. The post isn't asking you to sort your choices into a compassionate pile and a conditioned pile and then follow a policy. It's asking whether, in the moment you choose to keep someone happy, you can see clearly what is moving you right then, fear of their reaction, or love that has nothing to protect. Same act, opposite roots, and no rule decides it for you in advance. Only watching it as it happens does.
