None of it is real

[jack]

Not even a teeny weensy little bit.


Sure it looks all big and scary, with big sharp teeth and powerful jaws. While we are just helpless little mice, running around the place discussing the big powerful monster that seems to be wreaking havoc with so little that can be done about it. But.. were only little mice, and the monster is so big. So big and scary, we must come together and learn to fight this monster.. but we are only little mice.

Or.. are we?

Or.. should we fight it! We have families to protect, the monster is big, so big and scary with big shiny teeth. Lets raise arms, lets ... darn, where is the monster. Where do we shoot!!

Or... in through the nose, out through the mouth. Nothing is as it seems. There almost seems as if there is a pattern repeating itself. The violence is begetting more violence, it always has.. but maybe we can change that, maybe we can make violence work this time! Whats the opposite of violence, hmmmm .... less violence? No thats not it... surely theres an answer.. there just has to be.


Buddhist Monk - "Aummmmnnnnnn"

Everyone Else - "Quite down you silly robed man! We are trying to figure out how to defeat the monster!"

What if it just looks like a playground?

What if the kids wrestling next to the swing set are having fun?

:P

I see your point, Jack. This is exactly what we're all experiencing right now with all the crap happeining around the world. It seems so big and beyond our control. Very scary....
We can either come together and solve the mess together. Or each one of us can just go inside ourselves and reach for love, peace, light, harmony...unity...compassion...solutions....
Before we know it, the crap won't seem so large....
