Karma doesn’t shape one’s character or attitude; it only shapes its circumstances. For example, karma does not render one arrogant or lazy; it’s a personal choice in the moment when one chooses to think one is better off than others, that one needs no upgrading.

Compassion doesn’t mean we should stay mum and let things be. Compassion is about showing the concerned how s/he can be better. In the process, both parties benefit. The helper trains in compassion and the helped increases in wisdom. ^_^

One suffers from poor leaders because of one’s karma too. But the best way is to help transform the leaders, to wake them up, instead of responding in a resigned manner. If they are not helped, their merits will soon be depleted. The real disrespect would be to not do anything while complaining about them

We could try reduce bearing grudges against “poor” leaders with following thoughts:
They are in current position because of past merits,
They are also sentient beings who deserve our compassion,
By not showing disrespect, one avoids creating unnecessary bad karma,
We should thank them for chance to practise tolerance & other paramitas….
