Where we all sit around, reciting verse and chapter, in a pleasant atmosphere always carrying the word on our lips (but never in our heart), hoping and praying some "good" changes will come about in our lives. Good comradeship and insights and understandings aplenty, we carry on day after day for what seems an eternity.........

Stuff happens

This seems at least as relevant as a Trump discussion, or someone patting themselves on the back for feeling extra special.

Since we are on a Krishnamurti discussion forum, what this person had to say, seemed at least as relevant as people expressing their opinion.

Please mind your manners Jack. It's childish and immature to call people names and be rude in public.

So Mr. D, "are you a good witch, or a bad witch"? ;)

The people have been dominated/controlled by the commerce-religious-political/military classes from the beginning of organized civilization. This relationship is the reason for organized civilization. Get a grip on reality Jack, before you try to impose your will/opinion on others.

I got over the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in the political realm, years ago. I suggest you do the same.

Having said that, the peoples right to agitate for a bigger slice of the pie should be recognized. However, sitting comfortably at home and expressing angry beliefs/opinions over the internet is a weak position. Putting ones body on the line like the labor movement in the early 20th century and the black movements in the 50's and 60's and others, is the only position of strength and rightness.

I still follow football though, go Rams!!

Nothing you write seems to be about something K pointed out.

Everything I write either directly relates to something K pointed out or directly to what someone here has posted.

we can just not communicate at all.

Other than your opinion or some emotional outburst, what is it you wish to communicate?

Find out what K says about communication. Very helpful learning a new skill-set, not very helpful in the spiritual/philosophical area of human endeavor.

You appear to be Trump supporter.

Did you even read anything I wrote Jack? I don't play the political ponies. Didn't like Hillary, didn't like Trump and Bernie had no chance.
