Samia Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Scanning through the news tonight and found a story that sickened my soul. Maybe I have grown numb in regards to mans treatment of fellow men and need to examine that defect in myself but the rage I felt reading this I haven`t felt for some time http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/13708685/detail.html?rss=dgo&psp=news More Teen Girls Accused Of Setting Kitten Ablaze POSTED: 3:41 pm PDT July 18, 2007 UPDATED: 8:01 pm PDT July 18, 2007 <!--startindex-->COTATI, Calif. -- A three-month-old kitten is fighting for his life after allegedly being set afire by two teenage girls last week.

suchandra Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Basically this world is cruel - but where from this cruelity comes?

Reports are that the Hadza were not consulted on this issue and that they will effectively lose their right to subsistence hunt. Media reports have further painted the Hadza tribesmen (pictured below, and who are genetically-linked to the Khoi-San 'Bushmen' of Southern Africa) as 'primitive or savage'[ in an effort to culturally excuse the effort by the UAE and Tanzanian government.

JayaMahaDevi Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Compared to the millions of animals killed and tortured everyday in western civilization for food every day, this is very light indeed. Listen sweet child of God, we are in the Kali Yuga. Surely you know this? There are unspeakable horrors everywhere you turn in the world today. Seek refuge in whatever form of God you believe in, and turn you rage inwards to your own personal shortcomings of God. Burn away all your own shortcomings so you can get liberation and not have to come back to this place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theist Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Good advice from JayaMahaDevi. We will go nuts and burned alive ourselves if we try to fight a raging forest fire with a garden hose. The karmic rebound hitting this world will only get more fierce as the actions being performed as regular life here are so demonic. From billions of animals being slaughtered for food, developing babies being aborted in the mothers womb, wars, famines, children being sexual abused at an alaring rate and the list of horrors only goes on. This activity exists due to lack of transcendental knowledge. If we can help two people (ourselves and one other) make solid gains in spiritual life we will have done something truly positive. This doean't mean we have to remain silent in the face of these other wrongs. We can and should speak out but understand the most we can do will be very small and not solve the greater problem. But even that is much much better than sticking our head in the sand and pretending not to see. Karma-yoga means working for the cause of God and at the same time being unattached to success or failure. You show a naturally soft heart. Ah, if only everyone was like you Samia.
