Venus, I don't mean you in particular, or any one here in particular, just the general sentiment of wishing that upon others. Sorry I shuld have stated that. There are other threads on pc about this topic, and I do see the majority of of people who do respond wish it to end. I just really don't think it would be a peaceful ending.

I too think that good comes out of bad. The sometimes pain needs to happen to bring changes. And i accept that but wishing it on tons of others doesn't seem like a peaceful mind.

I know we see the world differently, I don't think the world is on fire, more like smoldering, and still putting fires out. I really do think there have been worse times than now. The financial crisis, while I don't wish suffering for anyone, hopefully we will be able to use it as a stepping stone to learn better ways to be here. And not merely see it as something to be re-established the way it was.

I really hope we can bring a bigger focus on learning from other species how to be here in balance. We have lots of good examples right in front of us. I still maintain hope that we will get there.

I am not afraid of dying, and I can accept that there is both good and bad, there is pain, but wishing pain for others is the part I have problems with. Hindus and others even myself believe destruction brings about change. I think tho it is something more to accept and work with rather than hope for destruction of others. Does that make sense? Hindus I doubt would wish destruction for others.

But like I said I was not responding to anyone in particular, this is my response in general about this topic because many people do wish destruction for others, without thinking about what kind of thoughts those are. Usually I think it is people who are in pain wishing for this, and to me it seems counter productive to wish that.. it is not peaceful, it will not make them feel peace either in my opinion or bring them less suffering.
