Imagine yourself in a conflict you haven't invited, and stuck somewhere in between the East and the West. There must be some place on the planet located in between those two. Let's call it the Island of Em, or even En. On the Island of En, the spiritual leader of the West (or one of them, anyway) , Jesus, orders you to turn the other cheek, while the spiritual leader of the East, Buddha, or at least one of his disciples (as I have heard), says that sometimes you have to fight. What do you do? Which do you choose?
No joke this, as yours truly found himself there, alone on that island, just this week, just today. What do you do? What do I do? Which do I choose? Another Russian Question, you say?
All this, I should say, is really happening in the West, which is, as we all know, experiencing its times of doubt and guilt over the past real or imagined crimes against humanity. So, tell me, which do you choose?
More to come...
