I agree that the video give the impression of something that may contain evil manipulation, but so too did Michael's Thriller video and many others. Just theatrical fun. Only the narrow minded, fanatics and those lacking wisdom could consider the lyrics of the song as being evil. These self goodies and so forth have been making evil condemnations for far too long, when it is they who are evil. Now the wheels have changed direction and they are receiving their just rewards - people pay no attention anymore and another course of opinions has gained freedom to express. Everything is in accordance with 'cause and effect' - two wrongs will never make a right - what we need to reach out of all of this is balance - the middle way. Let's hope that happens sooner than later. Nam myoho renge kyo - nam myoho renge kyo - nam myoho renge kyo.
