14. The weak tend to attract predators
Edited on Thu Jan-01-09 05:31 PM by Peake
as we've seen for the last eight years. The Maharishi stated that a country is responsible for its rulers, and for their actions.

Sometimes assholes, being offended by those calling them out, act like assholes. That is karma. Actions along predictable lines. I have seen the fearful in positions to do harm, causing harm out of self-interest, versus taking even the first look at themselves. This is also karma. Anger swells. Self-defence kicks in (as THEY would call it self-defense). It is the ego, defending the ego, demanding that it always be superior and in so doing, causing harm to self and others. These are formations, and are endlessly self-justified in this country.

And in the end, it's what the fighting's all about.
