Warring Wars

And the stupid men who make them

So Israel and the US are bombing Iran. We expected it, and it is dumb.

Samuel Johnson remarked, “Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.” We are going to be subjected to jingoism, and every objection to this idiocy will be met with cries of lack of patriotism.

All I can really say is Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ. It’s going to be a long time until the midterms. I can only wish that Americans see through this and recall the last time we became involved in the Middle East, a war we still are paying down in the deficit.

No one wins a war. Everyone loses.

Whoever supports a war winds up in lower realms in their next life, and perhaps, will suffer a shorter life in this one.

Therefore, trust the Three Jewels, and understand that the law of karma is inevitable. Do not lend support to these fools, who spend other people’s lives as if they were pennies on the dollar.

Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ.
