Agreed on all points, my friend. If Paul could fool people for 2000 yrs, it shouldn’t be so hard to believe that Trump could do it for a few years less than that. Some of the sayings of Buddha have been helpful for me. I love you, brother.

You know? Good point! Thanks for spending time with this piece and your solidarity with its position.

I haven't looked into much Buddhist meditation, but I do understand that if approached without preconceived notions, for those who also subscribe to Jesus' teachings it's not in opposition. I've heard quite a few say it's complementary. Glad you're enjoying looking into Buddhist thought. Nowadays, if whatever someone is studying inspires them to be kind, expand their circle to love more people and see the brother and sisterhood of humankind, I say have at it. Love ya back, brother.

I hear you. You want to stay informed, but you don't want to lose your mind chasing after every feint and morsel of bullshit. It's a hard balance to strike.
