The root of suffering is a corrupt government and the modern state as a necessary evil. The leaders of a corrupt state put citizens in a wrong karmic cycle, they are the duryodhanas of the postmodern era, they revised the notion of samsara, prevented citizens from becoming bodhisatvas, and finally gamble away nirvanas! Citizens must stop this cycle of suffering by following the middle path and the four noble truth and by not engaging in any form of gambling during by-elections nor being intoxicated by the sweet promises of a dying regime. Meditate we must on the fate of endangered nations. Detach ourselves from the fruits of our labour and our actions. Detach ourselves from the idiot box -- the television and the 100 channels.
We are delusioned by the very nature of the system we ourselves create. We no longer know what we need and what we want. The modern state has helped feed our desires with useless goods useless technology and when we are addicted to materials, we are offered ways to gamble our lives away. Wherein lie the enlightened self?.

you have special gift dr. azly. the capabilities in looking at things objectively from the eyes that wear a bifocal glasses. the message is well described and hopefully, well taken.
the root of all evil is excessive wants. only when mankind is free from excessive wants would mankind be a free man.
moderation is the key!
"I will always have something a rich man would never have; I have ENOUGH!" as quoted from the book of the same title by Bogle.
Dr. Azly, very creative thinking.
