    I think politics and borders are no less a spiritual issue than anything else we cling to.
    If emptiness can not be referenced with such a subject, then the mundane will forever reflect these limitations.

    That's my assertion.

    Again, ands it's only my opinion, when discussing worldly things like politics and borders, it can only be done coherently if you leave emptiness out of it.
    Otherwise you run the risk of talking nonsense.

    "Permanence or impermanence, sameness or difference / both of these or neither / the mistaken projection of fools / continuities without beginning"

    From the Lankavatara Sutra

    The mistaken projection of fools is what causes borders in the first place. I'm not against having borders but they should serve preference and not perpetuate the ignorant view of us and them.

    I agree.
