Ratty.. in retrospect, was the creation of Israel one of the worst decisions ever? How could anyone ever think this living situation would lead to anything but constant aggression. In the Middle East, they live for revenge and payback.

During the entire HISTORY OF THE EARTH no egoic being has had any objectivity, and NEVER had. And NEVER will! This world is SUBJECTIVITY and nothing but. You can enlist the aid of "science" in your argument but "science" is conceived from within "point of view" and "scientific consensus". Everybody PRETENDS that there is objectivity, but in the end, when you examine it, it is just CONSENSUS REALITY. Take away the consensus,and it's just a bunch of viewpoints. Point of view and ego go hand in hand. The only way you escape subjectivity is by transcending the ego. And in the process, the subject-object presumption is transcended and so all previous notions of objectivity go out the window. Objectivity, therefore, will not get us out of the mess in the Middle East. Namaste! Jim
