Is Buddhism still practical in the 21st century?

To the contrary. Millions know your real name, most of whom watch you in your government. As for the name of Jesus, that's none of your affair.

With or without you in this world, the globe will continue to keep its eyes on Christ. You will not affect anything.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
