U.S. restores diplomatic relations with Myanmar

1. There is a story about Buddha

in a past life killing a man who was planning to murder everyone else aboard a ship he was on.

We are humans, to expect us to never feel or even act with violence seems like it will only lead to more angst. Violence or non-violence, maybe that isn't the question. The question is what would you do? Behind that answer is a response that comes out of your own karma and whatever you think or want to achieve.

For myself I like to think I would always look for a non-violent means of resolving a problem, helping others, and I know that there will be times I wont be able to find a non-violent way because I only have the skills and understand I have. Someone else might be able to act differently and with less suffering.

Once I do act I have to ask myself "Now what?"
