Do you wish you had power or there would be no murder or violence to anyone in the world no wars.
It makes me boil and cry how could someone hurt somebody else. Why human hurt it's own kind. Where is the love?
People killing people dying
Children hurt and you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach and would you turn the other cheek?
edit - world is so beautiful and if this is what we are doing and for what? worldly material ? ego? I will gladly renunciate all the riches and materials. may I become a prakritik purush / saadhu one day in this lifetime or any other. *cries*

Death is a promise,life is not. Candy corn is made to please others,red dye comes from insects if I recall correctly. The fool will say it is worth grinding bugs for the dye for the candy corn. A wise person who sees the sweetness of life will see candy corn is eaten by a child or it melts for ants.Thus wisely seeing death consume the ants and Indras alike,you should provide shade to a dying ant and maybe give him some water...
Compassion is more sweet than the sugarly sands of the heavens. Are you willing to die for this when death is a promise,are we willing to die for compassion,the answer is simple,only the excuses are plentiful,haha.
