Ever notice how humanity doesn't change?

1 Samuel 8:7 And the Yahweh told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their King.

What were the people asking for in rejecting Yahweh? A human government to take care of them. They did not trust Yahweh so they turned on Him and demanded a human government to look after their affairs. And so you see why the political left today is so anti-Jewish/ anti-Christian. They are rejecting the One True God, Yahweh. The fake gods like allah are great because they serve to replace Yahweh. Moloch is acceptable because it replaces Yahweh. Their hearts incline toward evil.

It’s called human nature. It’s called nature. Being better than just being selfish requires knowing yourself or meditation to overcome selfishness. But some people, like a dog playing in the mud, don’t care about others, just themselves. It’s very discouraging.

I suppose that’s why Buddha encouraged people to Find truth with in themselves. Rather than depending on anyone else.

I love the wisdom of the poetic verses you’ve shared.

@Mindful Buddha was wrong on that point since finding truth within your self when your self is not truthful is like standing in a bucket and expecting to lift yourself by pulling on the handle.

I suppose it requires some guidance. But if you don’t look to yourself for honesty, you’ll never know the truth. Words themselves are meaningless. Many people don’t even understand them.... they only understand directions. Do this—don’t do this—@hippyjoe1955 also, understanding that yourself is not truthful =selfish is very important

@Mindful That is why you must look to Yahweh who said "I AM the TRUTH the WAY and the LIFE". We as humans can not begin to grasp the truth until we grasp the TRUTH.
