No Global Well-Being = Global Tough Karma

THE BERNIE MADOFF & DALAI LAMA PARADOX

"One thing happens some distant place, the repercussions reach your own place.  Destruction of your neighbor as enemy is essentially destruction of yourself."

 The Dalai Lama - exiled leader of the Tibetan people - cannot go home.  He made this statement outside his homeland with his phenomenal ability to reference the repercussions for humanity amid the details of the Tibetan people's oppression and struggle to regain their freedom, security and homes.

Bernie Madoff - financial swindler under house arrest for the Ponzi Scheme Deluxe - goes home every night.  He made no statement regarding his criminal ability to ignore the repercussions for humanity amid the details of the financier's stock market swindle that left individual investors and charitable organizations struggling to regain their savings, security and lives.

Bernie Madoff goes home every night to his luxurious apartment in New York City.  Meanwhile Federal prosecutors have stated that that the cantankerous 70-year Madoff violated his bail by mailing about $1 million worth of jewelry and other assets to relatives. Bernie continues to throw up the middle finger to thousands of individuals — people who lost all their savings investing with Madoff.  Tough Karma.

The Dalai Lama has no homeland, his country Tibet is under seige.  The spiritual leader travels the world teaching the wisdom of forgiveness - even of his oppressors, seeking to reduce hatred in our crazy, out of control world.  "Look at humanity as a whole.  Today's reality: whole world almost like one body. Our future depends on global well-being."

Global repercussions of selfish financiers in hedge funds, international banks and charities around the globe outweigh the charitable genuine spirit and intellectual capacity of the human race, humane leadership is ignored. 

Bernie Madoff walks free, the Dalai Lama remains exiled.
