Adharma is traditionally labeled Irreligiosity in this board's English vocabulary. For reflection here, the useful question concerns a gap between a recognized responsibility and an action. A person's religious belief or lack of belief does not establish how ethically they behave.

The snake from 29 returns to 6, Delusion. One reading is that repeatedly explaining away a contradiction can make it harder to see what is happening. There may also be a genuine conflict between duties that deserves careful thought rather than a quick judgment.

Choose a specific decision. What are the competing considerations? If your action did not express a value you care about, what could you acknowledge or change now?
