I think the growing tension you see in the streets is a frustration with no hope. Our present leaders and followers of Trump have no vision for the future and have taken away the basic needs of the common person to support a royal class that treats the rest of us like serfs and ♟ pawns. People who consider themselves Kings and Queens ruling us and other nations they support; who have the same mentality and attitude of superiority. This kind of selfishness and insolence contributes to street violence and in many cases overthrow of corrupt governments as we saw happen in Frances’ revolution in the streets. But something good came out of it because the oppression from the ruling class was unbearable and no one should take continuous abuse lying down. It is important to recognize just how corrupt our present government is and how that influence has been the root cause to most of the violence you see today.

I believe like you that is important to see the God in all things. However it is also important to recognize the avidya or personal spiritual ignorance that many people have and not enable it. This often requires a conscious effort to destroy it. If people who are in control of our nation are so superior; they should be able to recognize their behavior and selfishness influences the whole population including those who may not have the same intelligence as they do. This can result in irrational and not well thought out actions that are a direct mirror and reflection of the behavioral patterns of their leaders.
