A perplexed mind

Today have so many thoughts passing through my mind that have been contemplating on what to write for quite some time, jotting down something, deleting it again, changing subject…etc. etc….however the theme remained the same….a perplexed mind trying to sort out his thoughts!

We’re born in a family of which members we have no control over at all. Country laws bind us to them for reciprocate well being….or not? As long as we’re living in an ‘ideal’ family it’s just a blessing but as soon as something contorts we end up in Hell.

On the other hand there are friends (not acquaintances) whom we choose. It might look like a simple thing, but having good friends is a feat in itself. I will not go into the merit of peer pressure etc. Usually it’s associated with teenagers but I have to say that it affects all sectors of society…. And the aim is always that of being accepted by fellows.

And here comes the crux…accepted by whom? Society? …. Ah well you just have to integrate….do as the others do … do as politicians say… and ...“Shut your mouth”.

Again…no one was remembered for being a follower. Only leaders in their respective fields are remembered in history be them either good or bad. Like Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Hitler and Einstein just to mention a few.
And yes Jesus was a great man….repeat man and no more; blasphemy for the Catholic Church. His teachings are iconic….but the church managed to screw it all up...as usual. Well same goes for the other religions. Far too many wars in the name of God!...What God? The fearful god or the loving one?....sorry always getting mixed up on that.
Even stranger…Jews, Muslims and Catholics (together with all their variations) all have the same God. This only leaves me thinking that Religions are just another barrier to safeguard territory…
Jews are seen as the martyrs in the hands of Hitler…. It was a really sad moment in history. Not to be forgotten…but surely not to be repeated…ever. So It hurts when I hear that Israel invests heavily in armaments and weapons. Well, they managed to do build a country out of Gaza Strip, taken from the Palestinians by the Allies….Same happened in Africa…raped by Europeans who managed to use the divide and conquer technique to grab minerals from such a fertile continent….
And what about what Japan did to China in World War 2 …. And now presumably China is going to do onto other continents….
And don’t forget America…..
And Iran….

Oh boy… From a global perspective we’re really living in a shitty world!
Luckily, in the micro scale, family and friends keep us going and make our life a bit more bearable.

….and so… will we ever be completely accepted anywhere? … I don’t think so!
