According to Buddha

We can’t blame one individual for what happens in our world. I think we should blame our entire society. Society produces our leaders and politicians, and if we try to develop a more compassionate and affectionate society, we will have human beings with a more peaceful nature. Leaders, politicians, and business people coming from such a society would offer hope for a better world. Our long-term responsibility–everyone’s responsibility, whether they are believers or nonbelievers–is to find ways to promote a peaceful and compassionate society.

wolf father, at the door
you don’t smile anymore
you’re a drifter, shapeshifter
let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
