i havent been on this site in a while in your opinion what is the best quality a person could have?
authenticity (at least I'll know where I stand)
empathy
Glad I read down the thread before posting this.
my copout answer would be compassion. meaning only that it would be a copout for me as a vedic. I think the best quality is to be open-minded despite the biases your upbringing may have left imprinted upon you.
Recognition of that fact that everyone is carrying some kind of burden and treating others with kindness that reflects that truth. I like what the Dala Lama said: "My religion is kindness."
