your personal reality likely includes a warm home, food, & flush plumbing -- so it's a bit easier to shrug one's shoulders at the darkside, & term the suffering of so many -- too many -- on this planet a 'distraction' -- those in the middle of it probably call it something else

Let me try again since you seem to have missed my point.
The "dark side" is not those who are caught in the middle, the unfortunate, the starving. That is the RESULT of the dark side - which is selfishness. The cause of duality is selfishness. The solution is unselfishness, love, and compassion. This means taking care of those less fortunate, those caught in the middle, the starving and the sick. It does not mean hating and killing those who are perceived to be the "bad guys" or the "dark forces".
The "distraction" I speak of is all of the "us vs. them" drama out there. All of the nonsense about good guys and bad guys and how the good guys must fight AND KILL the bad guys to "win". It does not work. It has never worked. It only creates more deeply rooted conflict that will emerge again later, resulting in more killing.
I am NOT saying to shrug your shoulders at the poor and unfortunate. Anybody familiar with my posts knows otherwise. I am saying to step out of the conflict and find the higher way. Leave fear behind. Find ways to help those in need.
None of us can fix all of the problems in the world. I know I can't. I do a few small things. I know I should do much more. But together we CAN fix all of the problems in the world.
wynderer, I think we are mostly in agreement. Peace and freedom are very much what I desire.
