Agonising About The State Of Affairs
By Ulrica Hills
 As the desiderata poem says “Go Placidly, Be gentle with yourself”
As we no longer tend to live in small communities and as communication through technology is so developed we are unfortunately too aware of so many negative aspects of life. We can judge and debate, our adrenalin is up, we would like to choose fight or flight but we are unable to do so. Few of us are in a position to alter the affairs of others if that altering ought to be conducted by an organisation or government. Buddhist teachings suggest taking the middle way. Be in this world but try not to be affected by it. Eradication of suffering is what leads us eventually to that better place. Each should be trying to find peace within whatever assails him even if it is knowledge of the sufferings of others. Condemnation of perpetrators- mental fight or flight, does not lead to personal peace unless dealt with by a positive state of mind. Be unmoved amidst all the hatred and sorrows but remain compassionate. Try to keep a loving and sympathetic attitude while denying your own fears. By ULRICA HILLS.
