Tusar, Cool, thanks.
You ask a good question, one that I might deal with in an upcoming entry. Briefly, the reason why I talk specifically about the West is that I don't want to make pronouncements about the global situation that turn out to be insensitive to different cultural realities in India, the Far East, China, or elsewhere. That said, I've made a point of reading Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, and Sufi texts, and perhaps will try to incorporate ideas from them more consistently in the future.
Best, Joseph

I am in awe of the earnestness that you and your friends exhibit while meditating over human feelings and failings. My only complain is why the discourse does not step outside the boundaries of Western tradition. So nice to talk to you. Thanks.
