A friend came up to me and asked for advice. When he told me about his situation, i was stumped. here it is, in point form.
His mother gives him astrological rings to wear.
He is an adherent of a religious group, led by his uncle.
The religious group is very much against the wearing of the astological rings.
He can't wear rings around his neck
He knows if he doesn't wear them, his mother would be deeply hurt.
His uncle declared that if the rings are worn, it is a sign that he is not truly faithful. (No room made for error in this religious group)
To be "docile" and to wear the rings to please his mother is a sign of weakness.
my friend does not want to lie to anyone, nor does he want to hurt his mother. He doesn't want to waver from his spiritual path as laid out by his uncle.
What advice would you give to him?
