The Buddhist text focuses on the “right” path and the “wrong”
path. A quote from this text sums up my feelings pretty well
As a person who doesn’t believe in the existence of a right or a wrong, much of the text seems like a bunch of senseless words. I think in our yearning for truth, Dhammapada creates these principles which in Flatland or The Little Prince’s planet don’t hold true. I just can’t accept it.
Even though a speech be a thousand (of words), but made up of senseless words, one word of sense is better, which if a man hears, he becomes quiet.

In all fairness, like the quote says above, there were some
great nuggets of wisdom which do keep me quiet; so it was worthwhile.
