The Israel- Palestinian conflict is flaring up again like an old sore that refuses to abate once and for all. Many are concerned and the escalation of the conflict seems immanent in the near future as more and more countries are taking sides and aggravating the situation even more so. Basic human faith and belief, human decency and love for one another is being put to the maximum scrutiny by the entire world as the Internet and various other Media spreads each their own version and perspective of the events unfolding in the Gaza Peninsular. There is not a single act of love or care for another, or any act of human decency being exposed but just the acts of brutality.rage and murder that each inflict upon the other on a daily basis. It is like the world is being entertained online by a Real Life horror show which evidently is what is selling on the Media market today. We are insatiable movie buffs and we love our reality shows the more real the better and now we are being delivered what we wish for to satisfy our urge for blood lust morbidity, the desire to see hell being inflicted upon others as long as it is not happening in our living room.
We like to seem righteous when it comes making our thoughts and feelings known especially when a judgmental perspective is called for or sides to take on. We ever so often make our points expressed from our own personal and socio - cultural stand, we make our choices based upon how conditioned we are and how the religious as well society has a hold on our views. We are also influenced by our own self interest, like how can we benefit from whatever we are being exposed to. In this day and age most of us are trapped into this mode of expression as we face our day to day trials and tribulations, the choices we have to make and the excuses we are ask to give. However no matter how deep and thorough we look into ourselves we eventually will come to a realization that we can never justify enough, and no justification we make can convince, not even to ourselves; we are creatures of our thoughts and what we think is never what truly is. Our thoughts and perceptions of what our existence is all about is conditioned by our past experiences and thoughts and ideas imposed upon us by parents, teachers and society at large, rarely do develop our very own original intuitive perception that is free from these influences.
As more lives and properties are being annihilated by the ongoing conflicts in and around the Middle Eastern Countries and Myanmar, not to mention the countries in the continent of Africa where famine and tribal warfare are still rampant, we who are able to sit and make our observations and give out interpretations and perspectives, we are no better than mere tourists visiting a zoo taking stock of things with our cameras keeping an ongoing record for posterity. It would take a real miracle worker to make a difference in what we as humanity is experiencing, it would take a true awakened being, a real enlightened mind, but these are in short supply or so it seems and they exist somewhere they are not willing to make an appearance unless there is a call to by some cataclysmic event that threatens their own cave somewhere. In the meantime it is left up to you and me to keep trying to make sense out of every bit of nonsense that comes our way if nothing else for the sake of our own sanity.
We can only empathize with what is going on all around and render aid where we can afford to accordingly, however it is impossible to carry the cross of the suffering of humanity for we are not equipped to do so. it can even detrimental to our health to attempt to do so as it would would tear us apart to the foundation mentally and physically.All that can be done is to pray if we are a divine being surrendering to the will of our divine nature that has the capacity beyond our human endurance and become the channel through which miracles can be called upon to happen in times of dire need for the sake of the rest of sentient beings around us. To accomplish his we have to come to realize our innate nature of being an eternal soul with a universal consciousness not bound by the laws of karma or conditioned by the laws of man. We have to discover our true nature that transcends all limitation and operate from that state of unconditional love and compassion. However most of humanity has lost or even are oblivious to this state and have accepted our lot as a helpless entity subjected to the whims of fate. How can we be of service to humanity when we are lost in our personal egocentric, self serving sense of personal survival.
