Steve, quoting me elsewhere and putting it here to fit the subject of this thread is your doing. And to tell me I don't see things the way they are is the biggest fallacy I've heard all morning. You don't know me and your presumption of reality is no greater than mine. If you could only respect my experience, and I yours- the world would be a better place. You will no doubt try to draw further examples to prove your point. As Gurunath often says, I want no part navigating in the quagmire's of your mind. That place is a dungeon. It may be that someone else here can accommodate your perceptions in regards to politics. Someone to fulfill your desires and make you feel assured about your reality. Before you pull me in further, I will save my self.
Let us make peace with the facts- knowing corruption and suffering are much deeper than we can presently imagine. May all beings be happy. And one I've been adding lately... May all beings know peace.
I release the binding tension and recognize you to be a part of that which I hold most dear. Namaste ~
Consider yourself saved for now.
