I really enjoyed this article. Today I copied the following and sent it to two friends. It just spoke to me .
"The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He does not seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines, all depend on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics. He does not know, the imbecile, that from his political non participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations."
Great piece. I had not heard of the concept of cetanā. I loved the logic that builds to "Intentions without accountability are meaningless. To know the harm and do nothing is a choice.” Fantastic work!
