Strange days! Britain decides to be an island. Self interest rules. Interdependency spat upon. The world seems to be acting out like a toddler in a candy store. Adulthood is nowhere to be found. The rest of us hunker down and hope to ride out the storm. We have a Supreme Court one short, nevertheless deciding momentous cases. The Constitution is represented as about selfishness, toting guns and not helping others out. People die in police custody but no one is held responsible.
I sign petitions and give money, but it looks like the distractability of the citizenry is infinite, and everyone's busy taking a selfie.
I at least am fortunate that my congressional representatives are mostly on the right side of the angels, but they are looking more and more powerless. They speak up and no one listens. I hope this craziness calms down and cooler heads prevail. I'm praying, and sending tonglen to all the world's suffering people and animals. I take in the pain and breathe out sanity. Others are doing the same.
