AS THE WORLD BURNS.....

And on that sombre note I start a new thread which like all the rest will end up history, ulessI bookmark it right now!

I am mildly disturbed about this Middle East business. I am convinced that the only way that situation will ever be resolved is if the entire education system in the Middle East is radically changed in terms of content. Why not teach the young children to love all humans and not just those in your family, clan, or religious group? Is that such a radicla infidel concept? Because if it is then we have a small bridge to cross.

And all these people just keep on dying, being mowed down in Iraq in the noonday sun, or blown to kingdom come by some poser at a day labour depot enticing workers closer with job offers until the truck blows up. Where will it end?

Suppose almost everyone you knew had been attacked or killed by some other group. Suppose millions of your people died and this happend not so long ago. And suppose today that some new group wants to "exterminate" the Jews? (Akmed Amadinajad / Akmed I'm-a-jihadi). How are you going to react? Anyway, I think this mess has to start with changing the young open hearts of those who have not been poisoned by the evil of Islamo-fascism.

And as if being at war with ourselves is not enough, we are at war with the planet. Last year the Amazon Rain forest experienced a very bad drought. Big rivers looked like someone had shut off the water upstream days before, only these rivers are not dammed. Scientist say that if this goes on for two or three years, most of the trees in the rain forest could die. The Amazon rain forest cycles huge amounts of oxygen and carbon. If it goes we may also.

We are in fact on a freight train to hell. We can't live with ourselves and we have no respect for this world which gives us life. Do we deserve this world? Are we worthy of this world? How did we get "here" anyway? And just "where" is "here"? Who am I and just "who" are "you"? We are a souless lot for the most part, lost but not without hope. Do we have to relive the past in order to feel yet more pain?

I listen to Coldplay everyday and the songs just keep sounding better and better. To me, these guys are fucking geniouses, all of them! They inspire me to practice / develope my own talent and explore all forms of music. This life is incredible, it's a vast and boundless mystery with surprise for all of us, and lessons to be learned and burned in the heart for ever.

In time we are all reborn and live again, in time we learn to be who we are.
