Thank you Don for this brilliant article.

The Hindu view is that quality-of-life is cyclical, not linear. Nevertheless, unlike society as a whole, we as individuals are capable of elevating ourselves to escape and transcend those cosmic and social cycles.

ttbn,

"I'm wasn't aware that the Left even had a moral basis."
That would explain a lot!

The moral basis of the Left is a fair go for everyone. You can forget Don's waffle, but please don't forget this!

Wow Aidan, that's a good one.

From what I have seen the only "moral basis of the Left" I have ever been able to find, is to get very rich as quickly as possible, at the cost of the rank & file dummies you can command.

Can you name any left leader who departed any office poorer than he entered it?

While on this lefty stuff Don, would you please if you can, explain why all lefties profess a belief in the Global warming hooey, & if you see this belief as a fact, or merely something they wish to use for political gain.

Yes the Left too frequently seems to be about Guilt, Apology backed up by an ignorance of history.

Australia's Greens provide a good example. The vast white majority in Australia apparently should apologise for their existence and all other groups are self-evidently morally superior, be they Aboriginal activists, muslim refugees or Japanese residents of Hiroshima.

Greens, like Hanson-Young, seem to enjoy a kind anti-white determinism - justifying Greens getting re-elected to high paying jobs in Canberra.

Aiden,
Its not a fair go for everyone if you end up destroying everything.

Cobber – you may be right that Christianity cannot prove its religious claims, but whether you are right or not about that, it still remains the case that in a materialistic/atheistic universe, “progress”, “purpose” and “morality” are all empty terms.

You say that I would be a fool to rely on my personal convictions: I am curious as to what you rely on apart from your personal convictions?
