A Buddhist Thought?

A friend who has been sending me a lot of messages with forwarded songs,pictures, video clips etc recently sent me some messages which strongly smell of Buddhist ideas and thoughts which seem to be appealing to the good nature and general love and mercy which form the essence of Buddhist thinking. I cannot agree with him on the thought as I don't believe in Christianity also. Although the love and mercy for all mankind is not a new idea yet there is a strong sense of justification for the injustice and unfairness of the present systems of government and it is also wrong not to put the main thing into focus, the world is full of crimes and injustices and it can only be righted and cleansed if we go against the root of the poison ivy--- the abuse of powers by political gangs!
