Hi Steve,
I don't think the installed president of Ukraine has exercised any caution and the US has poked the Russian bear one too many times. We will certainly endure some karmic consequences as we are now, evident by our decaying values. The US is like Sodom and Gomorrah, or even like a falling Roman Empire.
I think the United States is equally guilty of torture, poisoning, organ harvesting, murdering, and genocide.
I also don't think Joe Biden is legitimately the President but that the US has been infiltrated and we no longer have a constitutional republic.
So I'll tell you where that leaves us:
"Self Peace for Earth Peace."
I wonder how many people have died fighting someone else's war, only to be supporting the very things they thought they were fighting against. 🤔
I think the best I can do is focus on my self in a way that means cultivating awareness and treating others how I wish to be treated.
Kind regards
It sounds innocuous enough but you did not really answer my question. To put it in terms that everyone can understand, we are all at sometime put on the defense by other people who intentionally hurt our friends. At what point do we say it is no longer acceptable that I work on my self when the defense of my friend(s) is necessary to make myself a better person? I have noticed that some so called friends are not there when they were needed to defend us or someone else. To me that is a negligence of responsibility to those we claim to love. Isn’t it good to stand up for others when they are our friends and we love them even at the risk of losing our lives? Ask Jesus about that one, his most devoted followers left him at the time he needed them most.
At times in all our lives….Curses like chickens come home to roost. An interesting illustration that Jesus the Christ used himself to remind Peter and us all.
