The Karmic circle

In today's papers, an Indonesian maid was sentenced to 20 years in prison for throwing a four month old baby around like a 'Rag doll' and her actions were captured on the CC Camera. She was on her first day at her job and the baby landed in the hospital. No, not every Indonesian maids are mean and cruel but there is every now and then a case of unfortunate choices made by the employers and it can happen to any race.
Yes what is the world coming to!? Have we become much worse than the animals that we can commit such heinous acts towards our young without any sense of pity much less remorse? Why are we being tested so drastically with such shameful acts  like abandoning new born infants in toilets and garbage bins; where are we as a specie headed for? Perhaps to fast and too much Globalization is not such a great idea as people cross borders for the the sake of employment are not yet ready to accept the consequences of being  uprooted and placed in a foreign environment and couple this with a disturbed mind or a criminal mind being employed into our homes it makes for shit to happen. And yes shit is beginning to hit the fence as more and more abuse stories surface from both sides of the equation. Employers abuse their maids and maids abuse their employers.
As the wise ones have been saying, we have forgotten how to be thankful for what we have or are given, we take things for granted and for our own self gratification. We forget that all things are transient and that what we do will come back to haunt us in one form or another; we are loosing our sense of values and our humanity towards those who seek and need our strength. We are becoming more and  more greedy and self serving even forgetting good deeds done to us in our times of need. Where is compassion in this days and age, what happened to Love and Understanding? Even the Gods must be weeping for what is becoming of us as humans whether on the Global scale or as individuals. Threats of wars and annihilation, exploitation and corruptions, human and drug trafficking; we are facing a human dilemma like a cancer threatening to rip us apart as we often times watch helplessly.
What is wrong with us? Why have we become like demons instead of angels as we were created to be? It is indeed sad and not to mention a fearful worry the way humanity is headed. This is the 'Kali Yuga', the Age of destruction according the the Hindu calendar of Ages and to the Buddhist it is considered the Dharma Ending Age, to the Christians and Muslims it is the the approach of the End of Days as life as it is will turn into Chaos and Anarchy rules and I hope this vicious circle of Karmic consequences will somehow find a miracle cure. During my 'sembang', shooting the breeze, with my friends at one of my hangouts the issue was discussed with quite an emotional fervour and after listening to every opinions put forth i realized that most of those present came to the same conclusion; that man is if has become worse than animals in his behaviour.
Are we? Are we worse than the lesser creatures that inhabit this planet? Those that are incapable of thoughts and emotions? I gave my opinion at the end of the discussion by asking this and with added that there is some things worse than us even if we are worse than animals and that we often forget of their influences in our lives. Iblis, Satan and Jinns; as said in the scriptures for the people of the book, Man is a pawn in the 'Game of Power' where religion is concern for God, Man has to understand his two enemies in life and that being; his ego (Greed , Hate, Delusions.) and the 'whisperer of dissension and evil acts' the Devil; the sower of discord and destruction. The people of the Book has Iblis and Satan, Buddhism has Mara and His Hordes, Hinduism has its own Demons; all bound and determined to prove man as incapable and undeserving of being bowed to much less served as God's finest of creations.
Whether we choose to accept this or not is irrelevant to those who do not believe in any form of religion or belief but the fact remains that we often do not act out of our own free will when we commit heinous crimes against our fellow man. The saying that the devil's ability to make man believe he does not exist is his most potent act. Today less and less of us are into the habit of equipping ourselves with knowledge; we read less if not at all, we live our lives oblivious to what or who we or have come to be in relation to man and society. We leave it to thee other guy to do our home work and carry out or chores while we are lull into deep sleep as we spend our time day in day out blinded from any form of Truth. When the worse happens we take refuge in the fact that we simply blame ourselves, our lack of knowledge and our hopeless and helplessness.
Man is locked into a 'Vicious Circle' like a snake eating its own tail not knowing what it is doing. Our ignorance of who we are inherently at all levels of humanity from the Devinne to the Sinner has slowly been catching up with us in the forms of negative manifestations such as wars and cruelties towards one another, lack of Love and Compassion or even conscience; in this sense we are indeed becoming worse than our fellow creature and other sentient beings.
The cure is to return to our original state of faith and devotion towards our Lord, That which we hold to be true and Immovable, That which we hold to be The Truth, that which we came from to Which we will return. Man was created as the best of Creations for a reason and it is in our interest as humans to discover this before it is too late, before our infants and children become food and fodder for the unwholesome and unseen claws of darkness. It is in our Collective Interest that we 'Wake Up!" and stay Awake! That we teach those coming after we are gone that there will be no peace for us until we can come to look at ourselves and know who we truly are and in this discovery act as One Devine Voice in saying No! Enough is Enough! The Light of Creation will prevail and Darkness will be replaced by the Man's awakening and realizations from his deep stupor. The Karmic Circle will be broken, the Snake will be Wise and free from consuming itself: with greed, hate and ignorance.
And the Lord said, "Let there Be Light!"
