America _ Karma still sucks.

A friend, a good Christian sent a video through messenger of a preacher announcing a gathering happening sometime in September like 40 days before the general election in the United States. The Video entitled,"The Return," calls for a massive prayer gathering to ask for Divine intervention upon the calamities that is occurring all over the US and things getting worse by the day. Out of respect for my friend who is from Green bay, Wisconsin I told him that it is all for nothing as Americans mostly lives a life of self denial and a warped sense of hypocrisy rather than democracy when it comes to humanity and moral virtues. For so long as the the US Government supports the Zionist Regime of Israel in its genocidal intentions of the Palestinian population, the country will never find peace divine or otherwise. This is but one karmic payback that the Nation as a whole has to content with, history itself has the rest, from the genocidal attempt upon the Native Americans to the treatment of the Black Slaves upon who backs the nation was built. Yes for so long as Americans, whatever denomination they be, choose to give a blind eye to the brutalities being committed all around the world by the US military might all in the name of Democracy; America will implode; I pray not.

Whenever the issue of the US arises in my consciousness I always say Karma sucks! America is guilty of  a few major transgression as a whole. It is well known of how the Native Americans and the Negro suffered in the hands of the Whites, listening to the debate between William F. Buckley and James Baldwin held in London, in Cambridge University more than fifty years ago, on You Tube, would open our eyes to the issue. Having lived in the country for 21 years of my life I feel more than connected to its people and my children were born there. I believe Americans should not be shamed of their history hut to fully understand it with an open heart and mind. Not to feel guilty but to work harder towards healing the present from the wounds of the past. Sacrifices will have to be made on both sides of the divide including acceptance, the act of forgiveness and building a better future through reparations where reparations are due. It is critical to acknowledge the presence of negative elements involved especially via those with vested interest in seeing that the country remain divided and in chaos. Racism is an illness and it can destroy a nation if not fully tackled; this is where my country Malaysia is headed being a multiracial country.

Most religions of the world admits that life is suffering and the question is what do we do about it? J.Krishnamurti once said that , you cannot change the world but you can change yourself and that you are the world. We are all suffering one form or another however the very least we can do is to not make it worse or as a friend once said, we can suffer without bitterness in our hearts. The Buddha spelled it out in his Four Noble Truths of the truth of suffering or of life some 2500 years ago and it is still valid more so today. With the help modern technology just about anyone can learn with the help of the Internet just about all the knowledge and wisdom of modern and old alike is available at the finger tips, all i takes is the desire to learn. Man's greatest gift is his mind and what good is the mind if it is not being put to use to overcome suffering and worse make things even more harder to cope with for ourselves and others? We may not reap the karma we sow today, but our children and theirs will; yes karma sucks.
