Gassho Ciaran,We are cowards and have been since our neatly polished "Constitution" was written. The Brits knew this then and know it now. Monks won't make our Truth. The "Chinese....They act in ignorance; that is they are unaware of the consequance of their actions. And for that reason they deserve our love and compassion, as it would seem they sow seed for a future in which they will suffer.
Who knows, there is the possibility that all the events are the show of enlightened beings; all playing roles on this stage of life."
The Chinese run that rat invested tourist attration on the East River in New York like a post WW2 Country Club laughing at the ignorance placated daily. Oh god; laugh with us and eat of the bounty that will last till the final greed will have us destroy oursleves by choking on mouthfulls of food, or some big Fat comet that looks like the head of Mao and Winsom Churchill closes the final curtain. There have been "holy men" walking and teaching for Kalpas. Laugh or cry; take your pick for not one bit of it is serious.
Be true to our one inner self and we shall become free.Metta,
Richard
