Been thinking a lot about kindness and why these conservative Republicans seem to lack kindness when it comes to others.  The fact that they voted 225 in the House of Representatives to eliminate Medicare not giving a hoot about all those seniors while they enjoy the best healthcare coverage known to man.  It seems so primitive and I wonder what made them that way.  Also the way they try to bully everyone who doesn't agree with them talking loudly to create fear in the voters.  I turned to a book in my library today and on the back cover of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's book "Live in a Better Way" he states:

 "Pay attention not only to the cultivation of knowledge but to the cultivation of qualities of the heart, so that at the end of education, not only will you be knowledgeable, but also you will be a warm hearted and compassionate person."

Unfortunately I probably don't have a chance in a million that any of these men and women would consider this statement worth their time...
