In the mistakes, in the middle of suffering, we can learn lessons that are 💯% necessary.  When I have wondered, shall life ever be easier again? I have sought God for that answer. Simply because I knew that I did not have the answer myself. 

Of course, that sounds too arrogant, but it's something we have all done! We think that Man is the ultimate measure of things and we thank each other for that realisation. Some of us are superman personified, all of us are not God and nevertheless we act as though we are. 

 

I have fallen for that lure time and again. We have only ourselves to blame. We treat others with false humility while we dish out so- called wisdoms. 

 

 

Perhaps, this arrogance is best seen in those horrific and massive rallies held at Nuremberg by the Nazis’ under Adolf Hitler. This is one example of the height and weight of the measurement of man--  without God!

 

 

Of course there are bigger instances of man's folly. Under Stalin, armed men brutally slaughtered, many historians say, mega, mega millions! Not in war, but against his own countrymen. Today dissidents are cheered, but then it was Siberia for the inferior.

 

 

Do you consider yourself impregnable? No? Of course not! Well, history is sprinkled with such men.  Men whose oratory is so much like Hitler's capturing ripe listeners with their own infernal desires matching his stridently cast, but hellish tones.

 

Hatred with oppression and victor-misation has stolen the countless lives of ordinary people.

 

There are many other examples of evil dictators and other not-as-evil autocratic regimes that have ravaged their citizens. At that you are probably thinking of one or three of them. You think of regimes that have secret police that are replaced with other autocrats who have another form of secret police. One government selectively killed its intellectuals, the country plunged into chaos. Another burned all the subversive books. Yes! Fahrenheit 451. Books are banned every year, making them more popular.

 

But that's children stuff compared with what a  highly Technological, highly Prosperous, Military/Civilian, Govt/Private partnerships nation can do. Communist East Germany, included some of these, now is just too old fashioned but successful spying in its time. The ‘70s nation of Iran ruled by the then  Shah scarcely coped, but George Orwell was writing more for other post- modern nations.

Destruction and nurture  are opposites. Yet polar opposites can, unfortunately co-exist. Both in one individual and so in a nation.

I admonish,yet open my sights carefully to aim at these semi-autocratic/semi-fascist countries that are secretly and some openly surveilling their populations to subjugate and oppress. Many oppress their minorities like Nazi Germany and even persecute them. I think of the re-education hospitals of old- order soviet Russia.Like Fascist Italy and National Socialist Germany in their climb to power and then clinging to it by killing any opposition.

I could successfully aim at but, you are already  fully aware of those terrorist rulers of  a few middle Eastern countries. There are more eloquent writers than me

If you are sick of reading but not completely forsaking the unlikely yet wholly persecuted minorities that you wish you could help in some way?

You can.

Rule your own heart and mind and will, do research and  try to see why on this solo planet these helpless peoples are murdered, barred in western societies and ostracised from existing and because of their own belief-systems by cruel majorities in countries that claim to be enlightened democracies.

With Love.
