When the guru likes you he scolds

And if the guru doesn't like you? Then it's, "As you wish."  That's a saying I heard in India, and one I'm coming to live by.     

It has gotten to the point where I have developed a great dislike for many of my fellow Americans so I no longer wish to criticize them because that would imply I hope they will do better.  But I will allow myself this much: 

The United States of America is not Sweden or Israel. This is nothing against either nation and their people but they are not who Americans are, and their countries are fleas in comparison to the United States. So we shouldn't try to imitate them.
