A Strange Dilemma

I was walking in a pvp only zone looking for resources, I was actually seeking them out and not trying to get killed/slapped/murdered.  I thought about the saying "If you meet Buddha on the road then you should kill him."  So, for the first time in my life, I recognized myself as a Buddhist.

Killing me is helpful since it helps the warriors grow.  But another mounted rider let me live. I was sparred.  I was looking the other way after this friendly encounter and said "wait" really quickly.  Then I said, paraphrasing, "You have displayed tremendous honor which is rare."  He then spared me and left.  I was impressed with the love that he was willing to show me even in a pvp zone.
