We as individuals are at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding the why and reason of these international events.

We process our perspective through a filter that is about our self, and as an individual human being.

We thus do not see and think with an unbiased mechanism when it comes to experiencing what it must be like to be a government entity, and, we most certainly don't see as a government entity sees.

A government entity is a collective "brain" trust of people who experience their body and being to be that of the country for which they think.

The government entity they thereby create does not perceive and think like an individual.

The government entity has a compeletely different frame of reference, a different goal and purpose. The government entity's struggle for survival utilizes different means to acomplish a substantively different end.

I have yet to meet the individual who can think and see as others think and see when these others are countries, nations, unions of nations.

Instead, I hear individuals speak through their personal filters, transfer and displace onto the subject, project their own individual ego, or dissociate.

National entity beings need to eat .. and, they need to drink.

Let us not forget the truth of it.

But let us not think for a moment that they are "just like us" individuals.

A national entity being is just as different from us individuals as one of us individuals is from one of our body's cells.

Though we all need to eat and drink, none of the three, a national entity, a human being, or one of a human being's cells, can truly know the thought process and perceptions of any of the other two.

When I see or hear individual human beings pretend to know what and how a national entity thinks, by providing a description of the process that is so obviously and individually human ..

.. All I can do is laugh ..

.. And cry.

It is indeed a great challenge for us to understand entities that are so different from ourselves.

We most certainly cannot conclude about a national entity from trying to understand one of its "brain cells".

That would be the height of arrogance.

We must always look at the whole of the being to begin an understanding of it.

Perhaps we might start this process by asking .. what do national entities drink.
