That poem seems pretty anti-american. By the way, I do remember something of the Tonya Harding controversy. One of many ongoing, with no end in sight. Whether it's a guru having sex or a politician with a private email server...There is no grand battle between good and evil. I think that must be one of the last delusions to go. It was hard for me to fully grok. We dream up the heros and the villians. There is only insight and intelligence; ignorance and imbalance; no good and evil as people have come to believe over the past 1000 years or so. Seems pretty clear to me.
Well it may be that light/dark, hot/cold, good/evil etc., are here in this physical plane, no matter how advanced you are. But the next plane is where there is no arrogance, sorrow, etc., I think that's where those things really vaporize. Hopefully we'll have filled the earthly desire or learned enough to not go thru it again.
