RE: All life is sacred. No exceptions. No excuses.
One of the worst feelings I had in recent times is about the rape and murder of a 6 years old by a serial killer. Then there were series of such instances. This was not first of its kind crime rather it was just that someone reported it and then media took the news to limelight. It's true that thousands of such cases go unreported everyday. In a society, without structure and proper education, everything looks upside down. People believe rapes happen because women wear jeans and not because of sexual frustration, where earthquakes are interpreted as anger of God for the wrong doings of humans....it becomes very much difficult to fight evil. A lot of work is required to bring this society on the right path. I'm not pessimist as all my life, I've been fighting evil all my life and often time it costed me a lot...even couple of years in my career yet I'm hopeless about the future of the society where I live. Actually, I'm hopeless about the future of the world because there is primarily something wrong with the system of the world. I mean how can we have funds for wars (mass murders) and not for safe/clean drinking water....for education of the underdeveloped countries...for the basic needs of deprived majority of the world? I believe, poverty is root cause of many evils. We can't negate the wide gap between the tiny majority of the rulers of the world and the vast majority of the people they control. We need inner strength, agreed but we need control on external factors as well to make our world a better place. These days, I'm stuck somewhere else but I agree with you in many ways. May be, we've a detailed discussion on how the world works and how we can play our important role in it. We both want to fight violence in the world. So, you got my support. Peace out.
My friend, my blog is a testimonial as I describe the control mechanisms of the world and describe what I've done to start the process of removing myself from those mechanisms. I do believe it already provides a detailed discussion on how the world works. The time for discussion is over. We are now in the phase where we need to take active steps to remove ourselves from those control systems and learn how to govern ourselves in peace and love. Then we can confront those who still refuse to acknowledge their own violence and participation in evil systems.
At times I too feel hopelessness and then I find another shot of energy to help me keep going. Are we pissed off enough yet to peacefully do what ever it is going to take to end this level of violence? Are we ready now to make the sacrifices that is necessary to do this work?
I've been doing it for over a decade. The only way I will stop this work is if they take out my ability to interact in this physical realm. That would require a complete failure of my vessel.
