Dog eat dog prevails by and large.

economic issue. We need to evaluate the spiritually impoverished as well.

It is just my humble opinion that we cannot do anything about another's

spiritual values. Certainly spiritual values are very important to many,

and certainly one's inner life is of the utmost importance to many.

Being a decent human being does not necessitate being spiritual - just

my opinion!. I don't want to get into a detailed political discussion

here, but I feel that whoever is in charge of this country has massively

failed many people in need in this disaster situation. And that person

claims

to be religious, and talks a lot about his prayers.

I agree. What I was saying was that I was very distressed about the

horrors others are experiencing and my only solace is in Mother. It is

my thought that,

generally speaking, most things are neither all good or all bad. Life is

a mixed bag in that respect.

Pranams,
