Pain prompts one to write. The world has seen all kind of writing because of pain ranging from suicide notes to ballads about heartbreak. It's all a person's personal pain on paper. How often does someone else's pain prompt one to write?
Wel, I don't know about you but today I want to write that I am capable of feeling the pain of another individual wholly unconnected with me and my situation in life... I want to write about a fellow blogger.. Riverbend, the author of Baghdad Burning...
I feel her pain..
It stumps me, how is it in the capacity of an individual to defile another individual's whole life for a selfish benefit.. Are we really that blinded by our own capital interests..
Beats me how a certain man or a lot of men in history for that matter fail to realize that people of a civilization have a history, a culture, a lifestyle which you have no right to disturb in any fashion, just because you deem fit and you are in a position of power to do so? Or are you trying to deem them uncivilized anyway and that it doesn't matter any which way you treat them because they've had worse..
Mr. Bush, imagine being fast asleep in your bed one night and suddenly waking up to find a soldier holding a gun to your head and another 10 surrounding your house.. There is an entire internationa community and a self-sufficient local community which is ready to bear responsibility of a senile old despotic leader.. You do not need to misuse your power to use it as a pretext to intrude into their homes and not just impede but infact make impossible their development as an individual country...
I allege that you did it just for the oil.. I suppose now the next thing is that Iraqi citizens should be grateful to you for al you've done for them.. And suppose for a second even if they were, there are almost 700 American mothers who will never forgive you for wilfully urdering their sons.. As Commander-in-Chief, you were responsible for them and their well being.. You betrayed a lot of confidences just to settle old scores..
Millions homeless.. Dying of either your bullets oryour mismanagement.. And you still got re-elected.. Pride comes before a fall.. I learnt that in primary school.. I dont suppose you ever went there Mr. Bush? Because if you had, you would also have learnt humanity and to feel another's pain..
I'd always thought it in the capacity of only content individuals to be able to be concerned about another's pain.. But as I've realised that's not true.. My life is not perfect.. Far from it in fact but look at her... Look at the way she lives.. Look at the way the population of Somalia lives.. Look at the way people live in villages in Orissa.. Suddenly my life is not that bad you.. My largest complaint for today is that I'm never going to be able to afford a Harvard education.. But look outside.. More than half the children in this world are not ever going to receive primary education forget the kind of chilhood i had..
Feel pain which is not yours for a change.. Change.. Be the Change..
