“Jaws” released by Universal Studios in 1975 directed by Steven Spielberg

The year 1975, the place Amity Island, the battle is the same as now, profit (economy) versus safety. Who wins?
Indecision or greed costs lives then and now.
The masses rarely have insight into the real danger, the scope of their privileged decisions at our expense..
Maybe, why some think used car salesman have more integrity than politicians.
Hard to think a spiritual leader like the 14th Dalai Lama in Washington politics.
A human being who has devoted his life to having less “Ego” and more equanimity, would not waste his life in politics.
Greed, status and power have no foundation in his life.
Even my humble spiritual journey sees politics as a cesspool of ultimate power!
Politics attracts huge “Egos” competing for status, power and legacy.
Happiness seems rare in this backstabbing environment.

Those who have had great challenges and survived, know happiness and it is not contained in status, power or politics
