Social Media Explodes With Ignorance After Recent Dalai Lama Incident.
Video footage of an event on February 28 in Dharamshala, India of The Dalai Lama kissing a boy has recently gone viral, and the ignorant masses on social media have gone wild over it. The event was attended by more than 100 people, and during it a young boy asked the Dalai Lama for a hug. The Dalai Lama agreed to this, and with the boy's parents present he kissed the boy and then stuck out his tongue playfully and said "Let me suck your tongue". He then laughed at his own silliness. By western standards what The Dalai Lama did was strange, but to anyone who knows anything about Tibetan culture and The Dalai Lama, it was clearly an innocent moment between a boy and a man who has a heart of joy and love. There was nothing sexual about the interchange, but that hasn't stopped people on social media from writing some of the most vile comments I've ever seen. People who apparently don't know a Lama from a Llama or a Buddhist from a buffalo have called The Dalai Lama a pedophile, a pervert, and worse.
The comments are staggeringly ignorant and hateful, and do nothing but empower evil by casting a shadow of doubt on a religious leader. And the fact that The Dalai Lama is now 87 years old and quite possibly suffering from a degree of cognitive decline doesn't seem to matter to the haters. Haters are gonna hate. Facts just get in the way. I personally defended The Dalai Lama on several Telegram groups and I then became the target of some very sick people who began calling me a pedophile and telling me to go hang myself. These comments were from people who know nothing about me except that I dared to defend someone they wanted to hate. The Dalai Lama has apologized for his actions, not because he did anything morally wrong, but because he realizes how his actions have been misinterpreted, and it was never his intention to create a controversy. Unfortunately his sheltered upbringing and his advanced age have left him unprepared for today's warped society where people go out looking for things to be offended by. We now live in a age where human civilization seems to be in rapid decline, and people are devolving into emotional creatures full of fear and anger instead of intelligence and compassion. I suspect this collapse is the result of negative influences coming from evil entities who hate humanity and feed off of our dark emotions. This fear and anger causes people to project their own wild thoughts upon others while they convince themselves that they are morally superior to whoever their current target is. Pedophilia is unacceptable, even though it seems that the world's governments and other institutions are controlled by pedophiles. We know that the evil entities are persuading weak-minded people to do horrible things to children, and it must be stopped. But we tarnish our souls when we turn every compassionate touch and every playful act into something sexual and perverse. And when we attack people with innocent intentions and label them as monsters, it damages our own spirituality and takes us closer to becoming the same as the evil entities that wish to destroy us.
When darkness takes over our hearts, evil wins.
