“With the frenzied pace in our own country, with the degenerating school system, with a crime rate that rises 30% a year, and with politicians that seem more interested in posturing than in governing, it has become more difficult, or should I say challenging, to achieve that inner symbiosis with life.” ShouldYearsCountrySeemsSchoolHumanityDifficultChallengesAchieveCrimeBuddhismPoliticianRatePaceShould IGoverningSchool SystemCrime RatesSymbiosis Author:Frederick Lenz
