More
Greed - in all it's forms - greed for power, greed for money,
greed for possessions, greed for gourmet food and drink.
"Be content with what you have" quote HH the Dalai Lama.
This in turn leads to ignorance and lack of compassion, ignoring the rights of ( and creating contempt for) individuals, societies, nations, and cultures; to violence at all levels both physical on the streets, and governmental globally.
Can we change the world?
Definitely
More about me
As a person who has fought all my life for the oppressed,
who has had the good fortune to mix into other cultures and have close personal ties with people from those cultures
Now as a practising Buddhist having acquired more than a sprig of compassion, wisdom, and non-attachment, the damage at all levels of all societies and the murderous divisions, as well as the destruction of the planet, cause me
infinite grief.
Promise to respect others and refrain from spamming?
