What five? One gives then scorns, one lives together then scorns, one is gullible for gossip, one is impulsive, and one is dull and stupid. And how does an individual give then scorn? It\u2019s when an individual gives an individual robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick. They think: \u2018I give; this one receives.\u2019 They give to them, then they scorn them. That\u2019s how an individual gives then scorns. And how does an individual live together then scorn? It\u2019s when an individual lives with someone else for two or three years. They live together with them, then they scorn them. That\u2019s how an individual lives together then scorns. And how is an individual gullible for gossip? It\u2019s when they\u2019re very quick to believe what a certain individual says in praise or criticism of another. That\u2019s how an individual is gullible for gossip. And how is an individual impulsive? It\u2019s when a certain individual is fickle in faith, devotion, fondness, and confidence. That\u2019s how an individual is impulsive. And how is an individual dull and stupid? It\u2019s when they don\u2019t know the difference between qualities that are skillful and unskillful, blameworthy and blameless, inferior and superior, and those with a portion of dark or bright. That\u2019s how an individual is dull and stupid. These are the five individuals found in the world.\u201d","title":"Scorn","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":233}
