No Respite, Only Dispute

“It was the best of times, It was the worst of times” wrote Charles Dickens. Apparently it is not the best of times , look around you to notice some of the worst imaginable situations prevailing, not only prevailing but fuelled and thrived upon just to safeguard a vested interest of a small faction. A small faction of Dictators, whose sole purpose is to stick on to the power no matter how worse the conditions faced by their subjects, no matter how strong and resolute the desire of the people to oppose them and no matter how powerful the opposition to overthrow them, these factions will stick on to their throne like a thirsty bloodsucking leech on human body. No, not a leech, using leech as a metaphor is too good for them. A leech sticks on to a body to suck out the impure blood, but these dictators stick on to their throne for decades and putrefy it. And putrefy it so badly that the real difference between good and bad, rational and irrational becomes so thin that even a highly moral person feels that committing an immoral act is the only moral thing to do, and that if he fails to perform this ‘moral’ act he is bound to be charged for committing an immoral act. A more closely relating metaphor for these dictators is comparing them to a character named Gollum in Lord of the Rings.

Expressing indignation through blogs, through social network and all other kinds of public media is the only way of oppression against these dictators. Cause the real forces who have the potential to overthrow these dictators in a snap are actually sitting in their headquarters arguing among themselves on an action plan to overthrow this dictator. I’ll narrow down my views from ‘these’ to ‘this’. And to be more specific I am referring to Muammar Gaddaffi and the force trying to overthrow him –NATO. Nato militarily so much powerful cannot overthrow one dictator. Constantly arguing over their action plan on Libya they are making room for Gaddaffi to become much more powerful than ever before. Check this Out--- majority of African nations want Gaddaffi to stay in power, reason---he is the only person who stands resolutely for African reforms and interests , to put It the other way Gaddaffi helps the dictators of other African nations to stay in power by supplying them with tons of cash and thousands of mercenaries. Looking at this scenario another nation named Syria is following suit. Their head of state when on the brink of getting overthrown by the opposition backed by the masses played bloody politics and now a situation where there is high probability that opposition party might sacrifice public wishes for political gain is looming over them.

 So much for all the blood, sweat and tears of the Common man. None of this is new or unusual, it has happened before in the book “LORD OF THE RINGS” where for pursuit of one ring the entire middle age had to face dire consequences of war. Here are the famous lines relating to pursuit the pursuit of power by these dictators from LORD OF THE RINGS where ring is analogues to the throne that these dictators hold on for decades.

                                      
                                      One Ring to rule them all,One Ring to find them.
                                      One Ring to bring them all and in darkness bind them.

Lets now allow them to get hold of the ring and bind their subjects in darkness.

Irony of Life

To write or not to write that is the question,with so many things happening around

you there is so much to hear about ,so much to read about but nothing to write about

because many of the things that you wish you'd have wrote have already been

written.So many things you wished no one had read before have already been

read.All that is left are the things that no one writes about nor even thinks to write

about.To think about whether to write which has never been written before  also

implies that someone else must have had given a thought to that thing which you

now wish to write and would have come to a conclusion that it is not worth writing.

To put it the other way ,you spend hours toiling in vast uncomforting space of your

mind where hundreds of thoughts are showered by so many things happening

around you, you don't allow it to drift away to think of some other thing and try keep it

firmly focussed on one thing that you wish to write about.But suddenly after all the

hard work when you are about to ink a final full-stop the thought that someone else

must have had thought of the thing before and trashed it comes to your mind.

Then starts the downfall,then starts the reluctance, then starts the despondancy and

you never ink the final full-stop.Days pass,months pass,years pass and you happen

to read the same thing written by someone else which once you had thought of

writing.You look back and think about the moment when you were so close to

achieving something but in a split second you let your mind drift away and the rest

was history,and will remain history which no one will ever know, no one will ever read

cause the real winner has been declared.The real winner who never ever gave a

thought to anything else other than writing that thing.And that thing became the story

of his life.You then think this probably would have been your own story but now its too

late for you, it has become an Irony of your Life and will remain so if you don't start

again from scratch and think about a new thing to write.
