The last couple weeks, the news bothered me, as always so much insane killings in the name of religion, the lies and half lies to tie it to Islam, when its a off-shoot call Wahhabism, not excepted as Islamic teaching. The political realm world wide using fear, lies and out right dishonesty to promote more war and violence. There is a total dis-connect by our leaders and others to keep and create more breading swaps for insane concept of this mid-evil times to grow. No daunt, it will have to be confronted with force, but it seems without truth and understanding what actions, witch events, who had a hand in made this period of insanity come, the efforts could turn out as useless as our last 13 years of war. There is always a history, both very old, a few decades and recient.
As a person who lived in the middle east for 22 years, I know to much about this subject. I struggled a lot with should I speak out, add it to a post, attempt to spread it wide. (My blogs of the last week shows my struggle). Today I get it, understand that truth cannot be told to prevent anything, these things can only be learned the hard way. Power, money, arrogance and pride will not be effect by truth, no its better to keep post my positive thought, asking others to think deeper. Work on my book witch will show why I know these things, explained in far more details with the whole purpose of the book, at best to share how one life lived came to understand somethings. Hoping at the most it encourages people to think deeper, more honest, maybe to ponder on whats the point after all. Assured by history witch shows humans have never follow crazy, evil deeds or conservative thoughts in politics or religion ever but a short time. Why, because it's not a normal way for humanity witch has always move forward, with progressive development in knowledge and thought, thats our history.
Remember: Happiness is Oh so simple, that a grateful heart is the beginning of wisdom, that Effort is essential in life for anything worthwhile in life.
