Reservations. Mainframe of Writings

"Well" is a deep subject.

1. A battery of structured well-well reservations to be added

FIRST, adjust to our General Disclaimer in the light of Buddha basics against being taken in by foolish dogmatism and hearsay.
We show you a nice way of not taking all things for granted:

If you want to make a statement with a great many qualifications, put some of the qualifications in separate sentences. - Sir Bertrand Russell [Hir]

Detail from Frederic Lord Leighton. FLAMING JUNE. 1895

Reservation parts are like clothes. See to it that they match one another.

A menu of standard reservations and how to tailor some of them to any story, period, and illustration on-site is devised, and presupposed for the whole site, and also for thriving, sanity and some decent fare.
In not a few cases terse statements presuppose or subsume one or more palatable and supportive reservations. Supportive means, ideally, supportive to me and this site, first and foremost. That is for safety reasons, of course. But ideally, 'supportive' is supportive to both me and you. That is a so-called win-win deal. Go for that. How? Form a suave, handy, cogent medley of reservation elements from our "Grand Platter" of reservations: [MORE].

2. What is called "good" or "well"

"Good" and "well" are strongly influencing words, often taken to in rhetorics. One should probe into or clarify what these words may mean in any statement where they appear. "Good for whom?" is one such probing question. There are many others. We discern between three main types of "good", and each may serve as motivations in different settings:

Good vs at least sensible "we-aims" aligned to "What's good for the goose needs to be good for the gander."
Good vs dealing with opponents - There is a lot of competition with its opponents in the human realm, and among animals and downwards.
Good vs looming common goals to serve in a decent setting - if you are friends, or by common or large agreement (consensus). These also serve as conformity-ensuring standards.

Ad 1, Good vs we-focused aims and dealings: Some examples: We had better foster the more complete fare. We need to be well enough guarded. We have to remain culinary as to the mainframe. We're fond of yielding to better knowledge.
Ad 2, Good vs dealing with opponents: Other souls should get sound and tidy and need to keep it up that way. Other souls need to know or be told a good "thing" must be well enough nuanced and tidy to look at. What is called good and worthy needs to be impressed on others; then they can stick to it. - And so on.
Ad 3, Good vs common goals: Is handy to look at, or as handy as can be - decent all over is preferred. Not heart-breaking, and hardly scarring innocent bystanders.
There are many more nuances of what "good" - and "well" - may be taken to mean on a separate page. Remaining careful and polite comes in addition. And as with the "supposed reservations", the suitable selections of 'good' at any time serves this site first, next others. [MORE]

Also, something is good if it is: Dedicated to basic usefulness and not rueful in itself - Dedicated to a decent fare - Serviceable in the long run - Decent all over is preferred - And not without inner consistency. [MORE]

3. A standardised structure yields meaning to statements within it

In order to better understand the meaning and scope of a statement in our standardised essays, find their placement in the categorical mainframe, which is an all-round scheme.

A Picasso Detail

CAUTION: Any information given on this site is not intended to replace mature, solid medical advice and/or treatment. Those in need of medical attention should consult a well qualified practitioner or therapist. And one should seek professional medical advice even if minor symptoms persist, as they could be signs of more serious underlying conditions.
To be on the safe side, let not old persons (over 65-70) practice our teachings without due medical supervision.

TIP: To see if there is something of interest to you on a page, see if there is a "T" behind an entry in the table of contents on that page, or a "Get Tao" icon at the start of the chapter in question. Taking a good look at the summary of each chapter before reading into the text usually helps a lot because it serves to evoke more cogent associations as you read the text itself, and a better frame of mind for studying it.
To have a look at summaries first is part of fit study methods, for it may save time and help you to get more out of what you choose to read.
