Dalai Llama

It is undeniably traumatic when another one of the crapballshit fables of one's growing years gets exposed as what it is - a fable.
It is undeniably shocking when one also gets the full extent of the crapshitbull that one was fed when one was impressionable and amenable to fairies,gods and ghosts.
The full import of the skewness of this world came across quite innocuosly through watching an interview of the his Holiness Dalai Llama - who came across as (to be charitable) a moronic delinquent ..who really had nothing to say and made some vacuous remarks (appeals?) about peace and tranquility and forgiveness... I think he was forgiving the *Chinese* if I recall..( to their immense relief)
The point is that is when suddenly a major fog cleared for me and I saw him(nobel laureate to boot) as what he really is.To be fair , he may not be an entertainer or orator or tvgenic or whatever.. but I saw a man plucked as an unsuspecting village(if the dozen odd huts qualify) boy from some remote hill and grandly informed that he is the incarnate and now gotta lead the hilly masses to salvation.
There is no meritrocracy in this ,what was his claim to fame ( other than geographic happenstance if I recall)..at least the Pope always has to fight off scores of other conniving,political,tallerhatwearing multiracial candidates to claim his throne and the cosy hotline to Jesus ,so gay paedo priests can be overlooked and women kept at bay from the Vatican(among other holy teachings)...but sadly Dalai has no such competition..it is straight from skipping in the hills to holding forth on peace and cycles of rebirth(between enlightening hollywood jocks and ,I hear, all disney movies to pass the time in the holy palace.).
The thing is you can be the dullest jack boy on the hillside but if you got spotted ,they'll make a holiness out of you.
Today he says is unsure about future and "..is looking for answers too....acknowledged yesterday that he is not certain how to motivate the people of the world to care about issues he sees as threatening to humanity." .. great, at the fag end of his life..if he'd spent less time on..

If only he'd spent some time preparing his flock to take on some respectable vocations while weathering the cycleofrebirths ,instead of droning chants and spinning Chorten wheels towards the unmoved skies .. but then he has never known competition,knows not what success/failure is,has no other skills and finally leads his flock to nowhere.
The question is, is there any answerablity in this line of work,is one ever held responsible ( as in public office) for completely failing,in all respects.. or,as is the case of GOD ,we cannot question..
