Shiva @innertalks Though the right thing to do is to speak up, I have found I am in a minority. I could easily make out when politicians hoodwink people but the majority falls for it. At the end of the day, reality bites where it hurts most, our pockets.

Shiva @innertalks Every leader who promised to deliver has flattered to deceive in the end. They leave behind a bigger mess than what they promised to clear. It looks like, taken as a whole, there is no free will or democracy in our world as there is a fear...

Shiva @innertalks The saving grace of nuclear weapons is they will destroy everyone - even those far away. That means it is in the interest of everyone to act beforehand to preempt anyone with itchy fingers to jump the gun. Drones are becoming another potent...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, that will then be like the skeletons left to fight! A silver lining to the present conflicts is our big leaders were aware of the consequences of "Crossing the Rubicon" leading to our annihilation. The conflicts could have lead to a no...

The Zen master, Helklu Zerboski, told his students that life is not short, nor long, nor does it pass at all. Life has no coming, or going, no entering, or departing. Here is some more of what he said about, life and...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, we see wildebeests being chased by lions and tottering at the river's edge. They look hither and thither whether to be gobbled up by a crocodile or get torn apart by lions. Likewise, we are reaching a situation where nuclear bombs are sort...

Shiva @innertalks We have an inner yearning that this life should not be the end - maybe just a beginning. There should be some substance to that undying desire in us - maybe, the soul giving us hope. .

Shiva @innertalks A couple of generations ago in Asia, this was the common take by men when they talked about women being treated equal. The men were dismissive. Nowadays women are smarter than men in many areas of work especially when it comes to multi-tasking.
