Disbelief -Erica

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

i agree with you and feel somewhat helpless about it as well. i feel

the only thing i can really do is pray and give a donation hoping that

it is used properly. and your point about the gov't is well taken.

it makes no sense. i read today that the total economic impact will

be in excess of $100 billion dollars. with a B. and how to pay for

it? we could stop killing people in the war for 2-3 months. that

would about cover it. but i also feel that things like this have a

positive side as well. i am not criticizing anyone and don't mean to

offend anyone, but i mean look how fast the discussions in this group

went from whether or not Amma danced in Boston and what color sari she

had on to what is really going on in society. every year something

like 60 milliion people die from starvation. i never hear about it or

feel any sense of urgency about it really but it is happening day in

day out. so maybe this is a wake up call about where and how our

countries resources are being used and what can be done about it.

 

i don't have any answers and i certainly have much i need to improve

on in myself. and like George said maybe that is the most efficient

place for me to start. afterall i think life is like a boom-a-rang,

you get back what you put out there. building my harmony thru prayer,

sadhana, etc. will maybe help combat the disharmony of the world.
