Bhikkhu Bodhi, an American Buddhist monk, wrote:
“By assigning value and spiritual ideals to private subjectivity, the materialistic world view, threatens to undermine any secure objective foundation for morality. The result is the widespread moral degeneration that we witness today. To counter this tendency, mere moral exhortation is insufficient. If morality is to function as an efficient guide to conduct, it cannot be propounded as a self-justifying scheme but must be embedded in a more comprehensive spiritual system which grounds morality in a transpersonal order. Religion must affirm, in the clearest terms, that morality and ethical values are not mere decorative frills of personal opinion, not subjective superstructure, but intrinsic laws of the cosmos built into the heart of reality.[15]

"As far as democratic representation, any form of government
we’d agree is healthy, would include an unobstructed representation
of its citizens; even within an absolute monarchy or dictatorship.
Or we could say regardless whether dictatorship, monarchy,
communism or democracy if the ruling class has no interest or
involvement in what their citizens are going through,
then no genuine leadership is even possible." J.E.
