Shiva @innertalks What type of leaders do we have who believe might be right? At the end of the day, they have to sit across a table and look ahead with a take - let bygones be bygones - after millions died and many countries laid to waste. That makes me wonder...

Shiva @innertalks Ironically, we are groping in darkness looking at the state of affairs of our world. The soul is absent in whatever we think or do. It is the mind that leads us with false bravado. We have made zilch progress toward a higher consciousness....

Shiva @innertalks Once the body is discarded it could become a different ball game for us. Now our physical body is overbearing with its constant demands and our mind reminds us that the party here is transient. And the thought of departing without what we take...

Shiva @TheHorse The majority allows a minority to ride roughshod over them, which also applies to countries like Russia and China. The majority yearns for coexistence, wants to be left in peace, and is too trusting.

Shiva @vandana7 It looks obvious that the evil thinks they can get away Scot-free from their actions. One needs an iota of conscience to do what is right but the state of affairs of our world reflects the evil leading us. The majority end up mere spectators.
