The same Zen thought as I mentioned on 70205 was also brought to The Persian Empire back about 3500 years ago. The prophet Zoraster's messaage(still being pr\acticed by many in today's Iran) was: THINK WELL, DO WELL, AND SAY WELL. The world was simply diveded into two forces of good(Ahoora) and evil(Ahreeman). Man's life was then accordingly divided into actions based on what side he served. Not the way of either with me or against me mentality, but that every action, thought, or word eiter enhanced the Ahoora energy in one's life or the Ahreeman energy. Today we say take actions which enhance your life not hinder its progressive evolution. Half a dozen of one or 6 of the other, no change in the message.
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
