This is exactly what I'm referring to when I say *the heart*. All emotion. Such pictures tug on the *heart strings*. The intent is to evoke compassion , for those affected, the desire to help. Nothing wrong with that! Just don't create more and bigger problems with the solution! Don't destroy what you have in the name of helping others out of their unfortunate circumstances.

One should not rule over the other. If we are all compassionate without thinking things through, we get ourselves in trouble. If we are all mind and intellect, we lose our full potential as humans. There needs to be a balance.Maharishi said Arjuna had a rare balance of both heart and mind. He didn't want to fight and kill his own family and loved ones but he also knew the consequences of not doing his duty. In the end, Arjuna performs his duty and fulfills his dharma. Nobody wants entire populations uprooted and moved into foreign, both culturally and physically, new locations that cause conflict for everyone involved, yet this is the result of past policies in the EU. Europeans are rethinking what they have done and realizing being open and unconditionally welcoming without thinking things through wasn't the smartest move for either migrants or their local populations. There have got to be better ways that have not been explored yet. Well, when you think of what those "better ways" might be have a look at what these fellow human beings are fleeing from/dealing with. From: "awoelflebater@...

I doubt that the Pope's washing the feet of Muslims will have any affect on Muslims(in general), maybe on his own soul but little on theirs. If you want to be served, you must first serve. Karma. Doesn't mean the person you served is going to serve you back. Indeed , he may serve you with a knife in your back. Another wise man said "Trust but verify". These migrants aren't being vetted. There is little or no verification of their true intent or what they expect to give or receive from their newly adopted countries. What is their capacity to get along? Here is what I say: stop focusing on the Muslims/Syrian immigrants and take note of your neighbors, your country, your fellow Americans. There is enough violence, ignorance, intolerance, religious zealousness and threat to keep you busy without worrying about other countries, other cultures. There is not a continent, a race or a society that is without its fanatics, its desecrations, its cruelty. My point was really about how the Pope is one Christian who practices what he preaches, who is not a hypocrite. The amount of "Christians" in the USA who fail miserably at demonstrating the same spirit as this current Pope is astounding. ISIS is one thing, the rest of it is quite another. The inability to recognize this is not only crippling but disastrous. From: "awoelflebater@...
