With ALL the wall to wall, world-wide bad news this summer (and ongoing crisis) several things come to my mind.
1)
Political Islam is the "religion" to END all religions, as such
the neanderthal man has returned with a vengeance like no other.
2)
Extreme climate change is inevitable. Humans are too conflicted, too greedy, too shortsighted and too ignorant to do anything meaningful about it or do it quickly enough to save this planet.
So
the planet is about to pull the emergency brake or toss the "ballast" overboard to
"recycle" it'self by going into "reset" mode!!
3)
The Male species is becoming obsolete, women are out thinking and out performing men in nearly every major organisation. (
is THAT what ISIS is for?) The
family is also mostly obsolete and
homosexuality is spreading globally.
Thus
world population renewal will probably become "unsustainable" in enough quantities to keep up with increasingly huge loses from climatic disasters, disease, and world wars.
World
war and conflict is growing not diminishing mostly
due to the market saturation and unlimited availability everywhere of guns and war machines.
Between
humanity's vast capability of self destruction, it's
decreasing fertility in many areas of the planet and it's
war on the earth and sky it NEEDS to sustain it's OWN very life,
I think THE END IS WITHIN OUR SIGHT.
If there's ONE "RELIGION" or "FAITH" which EVERY HUMAN should be "compelled" to "convert" to IN OUR TIME - than that "faith" would be BUDDHISM . *
Because
humanity needs TO ACCEPT the impermanence of it's present condition and
PREPARE to TRANSITION into another indescribable experience fairly soon.
Our world is like the Titanic after the ice berg. We're ALL going to have to "leave" this ship that was once upright. Either we "leave" by going to the sea floor with it or into the frigid ocean around it ...
or in a very few unusual cases on little "boats or pieces of debris" to uncertain destinies beyond comprehension,.... but
we ARE going to LEAVE IT.
(*Alternatively If the vast majority of humans became Buddhist
and "LET GO" of our suicide "tools", maybe we could save ourselves and our planet, but that's HIGHLY unlikely, it seems.)
So it's better to be mentally and spiritually at ease PRIOR to our collective, mass "departure"so it can proceed SMOOTHLY for everyone ! :)
