“ If we allow them to have emergency powers during a crisis, there will always be another crisis.”

I agree with you on this.

Question- Given your current level of practice and realization , how do world events - and other events seemingly outside your control- affect you now? Are you angry about them? Sad? Afraid? What about when you think of others? It’s one thing to be able to wake up oneself, and to avoid repeating a cycle of endless suffering. But what about others who are suffering? Especially those we think of as innocent- such as animals and children? One thing I never felt was right, is the idea that animals are allowed to suffer. If humans are the cause of their own suffering, then that’s one thing. Perhaps they/we deserve our current circumstances. But what have animals ever done? Why should they be victims of the human pathology? It seems like this would be the antithesis of any moral, universal law or thought process.
