Global Devaluation Coupled with Mental Degradation and a Tinge of Philosphy

Since my last post, I was constantly reviled by every bad piece of news I've been reading since my stint temping at SPH. Right now, I would like say nothing but the world is officially a piece of crap. And it's turning into a stinkier, more rotten and pathetic place to call home. The reason is not all the pollution, dieases and terrorists that wander around bombing place to place. It's the people in power that truly sicken me. What warped delusion were they having when they decided to enroach on all available power open to them? What made them CREATE all these enemies we call terrorists?

The very lack of fairness in their horrendeous excuse for "Free Trade" has created humongeous discontent with the very people that created the world's most fanatical religion. Seriously, they couldn't have upset a more POWERFUL and RESPECTED religion in the world. Islam has by far, the most number of devout followers in almost all the religions I've encountered. Their fanatism is legendary. I respect them in every sense of the word. Damn me if I ever insult a muslim, because I am surely going to pay thru the nose and keep on paying even after I'm dead.

Dear Global Leaders, you fucked with the wrong religion my man. You could have picked on anyone and perhaps gotten away with it. But Islam, your going to pay in blood, our innocent blood infact. You maybe safe from repercussion, but the commoners like us will pay the price with our lives. If you want to continue the course you guys seem to be headed, you'd end up with NO ONE alive to rule. If you enjoy lording over a cemetary, then please continue whatever you are doing now.

What? Your asking how a person living here on a tiny island of singapore whose leaders are responsibly trying not to escalate the conflict be affected by what other global leaders do? Well look at the bombings in Thailand for example, innocent people from every nationality with access to Thailand were affected, regardless of the fact that their leaders had anything to do with the conflict. What you do AFFECTS EVERYONE! If you think otherwise, your a selfish prick and deserve all the negative karma your so going to be getting. And believe me, if there's an afterlife. Your going to be wishing there wasn't, because all the blood on your hands will come back to haunt you for all eternity.

Think about religion, it's about power and influence without boarders. It's the most beneficial thing to mankind as it tries to make us lead responsible lives. Infact, Islam is by far the most conservative of the religions I know. They tell us to live our lives honorably. Well, I seriously doubt that martyrs are hypocrites. They go as far as to die for their cause, and it shows how determined they are to get their message across. Not that I condone the killing of innocent blood but to them, the blood is not on their hands. It's in the hands of the people who refuse to play by their own rules. It's in the hands of the hypocrites that promise one thing but deliver another. It's not just one country. Damn it's almost every other country in the world.

Politics are quickly corroding the very core of humanity. To do the right thing is to sometimes do the wrong thing? I honestly cannot believe that. If you made a mistake and admit it. Then atone for it. I do not mind. But if you made a mistake, you not only deny it. But try to make all the world believe that it's not a mistake by repeating it non-stop. Now that's got to stop before we enter an all out nuclear war. I believe a nuclear war would start with a single bombing, then an "explanation" which will lead eventually to another and another in similar fashion. Until the world is nothing but a nuclear wasteland and a single plot of livable land where the victor stands. That is the eventual end for humanity if we walk the path of "Politics" instead of honest dealings.

In this globalized day and age, thinking about one's nation no longer applies just to your own country. We got to think about the world. If you think that that's not true, perhaps we can look at something like pollution control. If you think just for your country, you might end up not caring if you polluting a river if it's leading away into another country. But the other country will take offense and perhaps you'd have a potential conflict on your side. Thus by thinking of the world on a whole not only benefit your nation as you implement it, but you might also improve relations with your neighboring countries as a result. It's like killing multiple birds with a single stone. You might end up reaping multiple benefits from a single action benefiting everyone on the whole. Now who says thinking generously will deteriorate the country?

However, I have to admit. The very reason WHY different countries exists is because of our inability to co-relate to one another. And technically there are different countries because we HATE each other and that's why we are not one just ONE GIANT Community. It's the very concept of countries that drive us apart. Funny thing, humans have been in eternal conflict in one another since the collapse of the Tower of Babel. Spell it however way you might want to. You will all be right. We all used to be one glorious nation. All are one people, of one creed. But our unified ambition angered God. We sought to enter heaven even though we were casted out. To prevent us from reaching heaven, God shattered the Tower of Babel and scrambled our languages.

In essence, what's happened over the past few thousand years was infact a will of God. As I have learned several languages over the course of my short life. I was interested when I realized that thinking in the different langauges on the same subject actually affected the perception of the subject. Could one actually change their thought structure simple just by learning and thinking in another language? I experimented thinking in Chinese and English for starters. Then Japanese. Then Malay and Cantonese (A Chinese Dialect). Finally Hokkien (Another Chinese Dialect). I found out that even thinking in a dialect affects our thought processes immensely. The very perception of the mind and the meaning of the words cannot be perfectly translated. Even when they can, the very meaning that the words are affected by how the culture would use them.

In short, I could post a damn thesis on how languages affects our point of view. But simply? When God scrambled our languages after the Tower of Babel, God sought to cripple us so that we may never again, seek to enter heaven before our due time. In our aquaintance of "Knowledge" gifted by the apple tree of eden. We lost our purity required to stay in heaven. By aqquiring knowledge, we gained the power to do both good and evil. We develop a dual nature as part of the price we pay for knowledge. God only allows the humans with a biase of balance towards "good" in our nature to enter heaven. And lets the rest of the "neutrals" and "evil" biased fall into hell. Whose to say that heaven and hell are eternal, but our time spent there may not? We may in short suffer for an eternity and re-inserted into the world to "prove" that we deserve to be where we were?

God loves us dearly, he loves us so much that I'm sure that he'd be willing to give us a second chance even after we have fallen to hell. But with all his creations that misbehave, we have to endure a punishment deserving of our misbehaviour. For an eternity in hell can mean seconds or eons. It's all personal perception. Perhaps also affected by our ability to repent. Religions constantly preach about 2nd chances, perhaps it isn't so far fetched to understand why the chinese believe in reincarnation. Perhaps a hell for humans could be existance as something as pathetic as a common fly. After the death of the fly, perhaps we would be reborn as something else until we finally repent the mistakes we did in our past life and be destined to be reborn as a human again.

What ever the traditional beliefs were, I know they were all once based on fact, not fiction. After Four Thousand years, whose the say the traditions were not "altered" to suit the current generation. Like what we're doing right now by butchering our traditions and replacing parts of it to make it more "convenient" to follow. I'm sure there used to be lots of "sacrificing" in ancient rituals which are no longer followed today. Thankfully I may add. But that also means our current tradition could be, in no way related to what they used to be. Perhaps we weren't supposed to have any receptions during a wedding or we should always be asking for a clock when accepting a gift? (Chinese would know what the 2nd tradition would mean)

But while we do butcher the more inconvenient aspects of tradition, we usually still follow the verbal aspects of tradition. Which is orally passing down of the tradition from one generation to the next. For all of you that has read until this point. Kudos to you. This blog post is the result of a Long hitaus and deep reflection on how my warped mind flows from subject to subject. It's how I think. Everything is linked, no matter how disconnected and distended from the current topic it seems to be. It's how the universe works. It surprises you with things that you don't expect. Much like how this blog starts on politics, how it leads to terrorism, leading to religion, then to tradition and eventually to a self-closure.

Everything on everything, that's how my mind works and the world runs. Never one without another. See all of you perhaps, you never know when it's your time to visit the afterlife. So if we meet again Alauz OUT!

Idiots of today, Geniuses of tomorrow
