Atheists & Agnostics

I am a Buddhist. Just because I don't cultivate hatred doesn't mean that I can't look with discriminating awareness at what appears to me as evil and disgusting, and not flinch. I see Trump and his enablers as deeply ignorant, creating endless suffering for themselves and others.

I believe that for people like Trump, the only way for them to change for the better is for something very painful and catastrophic to happen to them. And even then, probably not. Such hatred is a blind, unconscious habit. It's very very difficult to break an old habit, but it can be done with the right intention, motivation, and persistence. None of which Trump has or is likely to get.

To me, Trump is a masters class in ethical morality. He exemplifies everything that ethical morality is NOT. He also demonstrates the law of karma, which when his bears fruit will bring him crashing down with a sonic boom. The wheel of sharp weapons is rolling his way, and it will roll right over him. He is not a happy man.

In the Buddhist path, we aspire to liberate all sentient beings from suffering and ignorance. Yes, even the Donald Trumps of this world.
