Could we all............just stop?

Hi all,

I would like to pose a question?

With the increase in high profile terrorist attacks on our televisions, day to day updates on what toys young Kim is throwing out of his pram, what countries the US president is trying to manipulate and the "so called" on-going feud between Russia and the United States.

Would it be possible for the leaders of these countries to just stop and shake each others hand?

I look at videos and documentaries about Putin and he certainly does not seem like this monster others have made him out to be. Quite the contrary actually. He actually seems quite switched on.

I just got to thinking (Yeah honestly what if we were to just drop all on-going problems we have with each other and just chalk it up to past history.

Wouldn't be so hard would it? Everyone seems to be on the same page and wanting change in the world.

Wouldn't it be a good time to make that change?

I think we should hit a 'reset' button with Russia.

This is not how the human mind(ego) works for the people who think mostly from their base and not enough from their heart/mind.

AKA they experience consciousness through mostly a lower vibration/ frequency so they tend to make choices that reflect that.

Have you ever had anything to do with a sociopath?

They have no idea they are wrong or have any empathy, so seeing things from a victims perspective is impossible.

This is why sociopaths gravitate to leadership roles-they are seen as cut throat leaders that are on task. But really they are damaged.

The problem is people like Radical Islamists and North Korea don't live in our reality. The insane don't negotiate or forgive.

They will never do something that sensible.

Now, I totally agree with Russia. I never considered them our enemy in the first place and frankly, a nuclear exchange is just plain stupid.

If only the Russians would stop dropping thousands of bombs on Syria everything would be alright...oh wait, it's the USA dropping all the bombs.

The only solution is that all of our leaders must go through a process of initiation where they are brought to as close to death as possible where they can experience ego death and have "contact" with something greater than themselves. It will also teach them that they too are human and bring them closer to their fellow man.

Diplomacy? I wonder why no one has tried that

The sad thing is you probably think you are clever.

There is enough blame to go around.

Let's try getting the super pacts out and limiting spending on campaigns first, then move on to hunger games.

I'll push the reset button when Trump styled Conservatives stop trying to make political points on the death and blood of innocents.

I think the bigger problem is the people from Ohio.

Sorry, but that's not a partisan thing. That's called American politics. Have you been paying attention since Reagan?

You're right. People just love to be led. Romans 13!!!

Stop the press, terror problem solved. No More Fear.

One day a scorpion was walking along the shore of the river...

He desperately wanted to get to the other side but could not swim...

He found a kind natured frog and asked "Mr Frog, will you give me a ride across this pond on your back? "

To which the frog replied, "you cannot ride on my back because you will sting me and I will drown..."

The scorpion replied "I would not string you because I too would drown and that would be a crazy thing to do..."

The kind hearted frog thought about it a while and agreed to help the scorpion cross the river...

The sweet frog understood no being would do such an unthinkable thing...

The scorpion climbed upon the frogs back as he began swimming…

Half way across the river, the scorpion stung the frog...

Confused and terrified, the frog turned to him and said "why would you sting me, now we will both drown and die in this river?"

The which scorpion replied, "I stung you because I am a scorpion."
