Epidemic indifference in all its ugly splendor!

flybynite: Your message is full of nominalizations. With respect to "pathogens" we have them inside of us all, malignant and benign. They are called thought structures. BB.

Silk: Thats it? This all you have you say about the plight of the Burmese.
You don't care do you? All you care about is demonstrating how witty you think yourself to be. You are shallow in the extreme. Or are you here to demonstrate your pseudo academic credentials by correcting grammar.. You are a bore in the extreme.Let me guess.. You are an american right.. figures..

In linguistics nominalization refers to the use of a verb or an adjective into a noun, with or without morphological transformation, so that the word can now act as the head of a noun phrase.

expression do we need to reflect the insanity that pervades our planet? As if actors in a
cosmic play, the Buddhist monks are re-presenting the role of loving-kindness, of
compassion. They are even carrying a victory banner which reads, "Love & kindness must
win over everything." While nonviolently protesting the abuse of power, they are chanting
the "Metta Thoke,&quot; the "loving-kindness sutra,&quot; which sends out & shares loving-kindness

them. They are literally

An archetypal, timeless drama is being played out in Burma between the monks & the
military, freedom & oppression, & good & evil. But like Aung San Suu Kyi, the pro-
democracy leader & Nobel laureate says, "There will be change because all the military
have are guns."; People, groups, or nations who abuse their power over others invariably
self-destruct; it is merely a question of time.

split, encountering each other in living, breathing, form through the Burmese theater. The
very opposites, which animate the extreme tension in the world psyche, are being played
out on the world stage for all to see, that is for those who will see!

recognize what is symbolically being revealed to us if we realize that the people in Burma ,
both the monks & the military thugs, are not separate from ourselves. To see symbolically
is to recognize that, just like a dream, all characters in the situation in Burma are
interconnected aspects of ourselves. The energetic expression of our realization is loving-
kindness & compassion for all these various & multiple parts of ourselves.

of ourselves calling for help. Let us hear their cries, which are none other than our own, &
answer.

Actually, I care very much, and in America, Buddhists
and monestaries have the freedom to be.
