What would the Buddha say of Gaza?

 When we have witnessed the unfolding of what constitute a genocide unfolding in Gaza, we get a very good taste of what death/dying is all about even if it is through reports and daily news unless we happen to be a heartless entity with no feelings whatsoever we hold in our hearts a sense of sorrow and sadness. What is happening in the Gaza Strip and Palestine as whole is frightening and needless to say unacceptable by the any standard of human dignity. No matter how jaded our take on life may be, no matter how rich or poor we are our lives are worth the cost of a bullet or the explosion of a drone sent to eliminate our existence by someone sitting in a dark room facing a computer whose only job is to cause misery to the lies of others simply on orders to do so. The powers that be today are men who has gained the world or so they assume and lost their souls; a lost soul will fear death when it takes them at the end of their days whether they are a believer or otherwise for there is no forgiveness for them especially from the Collective Human consciousness or the Supreme Being, or God, by what name it maybe called. Only demons and monsters are capable of carrying out the mass murdering of man women and children and for every demonic deed there is a divine retribution like it or not and none escapes the cries of thousands who believe and have faith in the Lord of Creation; the laws of karma is like a shadow to every evil act.

Every human being is complicit in what in what is happening to our fellow man whether we are directly involve or not in the atrocities being subjected to our fellow creatures albeit man or other sentient beings that suffers due to our greed, hate and ignorance. Thou shalt not kill is the first law handed down to Moses no matter the justification, a life is a life more precious than all the gold on the planet. When we have lost the Love of life itself what have we left to call ourselves as human beings? Even animals do not kill unless threatened or for the sake of survival in the form of food. Today not only in Palestine but many parts of the world man is killing his fellow man without remorse and with impunity as though there is no retribution to their actions. This is tantamount to self destruction as the human soul becomes blinded by the thirst for power  and domination over those they consider not worthy to live except as slaves and underdogs to be subjugated and forced towards extinction in the form of a genocide. We call ourselves as civilized beings, lovers of truth and beauty, or the arts and sciences while in essence we are becoming war mongers and lunatics and sycophants, a cannibalistic cancerous virous that eats up its own kind, just for few dollars more!

It is a sad, sad situation we are in today, but most of humanity continues to live in denial dismissing the agony and suffering of innocent children dying of hunger and starvation; what have we become in this 21st. Century?  What kind of legacy are we leaving behind for those of us old enough to understand what or where humanity is headed towards. Are we any better than the Mongol hordes or the Nazis, are we any better than the Huns or the Covid virus? No we are just as bad if not worse because we have the audacity to claim ourselves as being civilized. We claim ourselves to have come a very long way in the evolution of the soul and spirit, that we are closer to the divine spirit than we ever were and yet truth be told, humanity today have become more demonic in nature than our ancestors ever were and shall we blame it on the devil or are we actually carrying out the devil's work for him? I am glad I do not have any grandchildren to brag of thus far as I am not too positive in bringing into this life more beings to suffer the consequences of my own faults and failures. I am not proud of what I am leaving behind as a human being for my generation has failed humanity and I feel it is an insult for me to say that I have left behind a world of peace and harmony for those that will come after me. This life, this world is my own  projection my own self manifestation and I am responsible in making it such a terrible place to live in. The Buddha in his infinite wisdom had pointed out that life is suffering and that suffering is the outcome of desire and to overcome suffering one must understand desire; I have failed to understand desire and like me so has all of humanity. The Historical Buddha would have called what is transpiring today as a Collective Karmic Consequences.
