LovePrevails Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 What would Love Prevails say? I like the idea, but unfortunately I think government is inherently flawed and so at best it can only moderate the woes of government. If I was a statist I would be all in.
villagewisdom Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I'm thinking along the same lines. Although even if I was a statist, I would have my doubts. One touchy, feely success does not a long history of corruption change. I'm pretty sure corruption would creep into the process -- even a statist would know that I think . . . and exploit it. Perhaps I'm being a little cynical there, but the fact is that the state is corrupt by nature. On the other hand, if the idea catches on and they make it a stronger part of their identity as a nation, it could go a long way to relieving some of the corruption. They do have an equally long and deep history of meditation as a tool for "spiritual awakening" and with that awakening comes caring for one another (in my experience). Nah, I still thinks it's an irrational pipe dream to have any thought that it will work in even a small way. I'll continue to concentrate on my own small sphere of influence and see what I can do there. I can have an effect there. That's the balm for my cynicism.
