Nor the self-proclaimed impunity, not even the missals, Nor will syllogisms of double standards ever turn Rajoy into Mao or any Pujol into Dalai Lama

 

WEDNESDAY, 7 June of 2017

Last Tuesday at noon the Dalai Lama became trending topic In Barcelona. With amused curiosity I began to investigate, and my intrigue turned to anger when I discovered that the Dalai Lama was the collateral damage of an irrelevant comparison. He was reduced to a passive agent that left him at the level of a former president Catalan that is currently being investigated.

He little son, the architect of the equation, maybe he despised that his father confessed 34 years of tax fraud. Benjamin may have overlooked the fact that the Dalai Lama was not banished for an alleged conspiracy against him., But all of Tibet suffered an invasion by China with consequences that still persist today.. Perhaps no one has explained to the seventh son that the Dalai Lama was not banished but fled to Dharamsala (northern india) to protect your life. And he didn't leave alone: they left him, all the ministers and everyone who could, after months of intense revolt and thousands of deaths.

It is worth remembering that the Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader, head of one of the most important lineages within Tibetan Buddhism. And yet another detail, to make matters worse, is that in the 2011 the dalai lama himself resigned from all political positions and representation that were granted. He stopped being head of the Tibetan Government in exile to focus on practicing his spiritual path well and that of those who follow him.. He still lives in exile today and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, reference for the defense of human rights and proclaiming kindness and generosity as a way of life.

And that is to compare apples and pears, They already tell us that when we were little, does not touch. Especially when the apple is rotten and we know little about the pear. Because not even the self-proclaimed impunity, not even the missals, nor will syllogisms of double standards ever convert Rajoy in Mao nor to any of the hill in dalai lama.
