Letter to The Editor - Awareness of the Truth of Sacred Tradition

to THE AGE
     The welfare of Australians is threatened by intolerant authoritarianism from left-wing agitators and corporate shysters. This can be seen in the defacing of a statue of Captain Cook, in uninvited graffiti in public spaces, in corporations adopting partisan positions in controversies and thus treating non-like-minded employees unfairly, and in professional bodies in law and medicine doing the same - to say nothing of some churches or church groups.
     Why should this be? It seems that people find the taking up of causes to give meaning to their own lives - this is medicine for the illnesses of boredom and personal frustration. Having become too attached to their causes, they then experience any contradiction as a source of aggression against themselves and become ruthless in trying to obliterate it.
     Only a renewed awareness within society of the truth of sacred tradition and the value of sanctified ethical codes can provide a solution to this political evil.
