There’s a story about a Buddhist monk who was crying over his master’s grave. Someone came up to him and said, “But I thought you were enlightened! So why are you crying?” Responded the monk, “Because I am sad.”

Who is the "I" that is sad? This is the existential question.

I once read a book called Siddhartha. #AmericanDOS has always been by the river like Vasudeva studying the ways of America. Progressives are like the Samanas; who like Siddhartha continue to seek enlightenment without acknowledging the sacrifices of the Vasudevas in America.

If the US is a Christian country, then we have evidence that Christianity isn’t working. Invest in Buddhism where kindness is always the correct response.
