UNTITLED

For days I have wanted to write. One would say now that I am retired I must have more time do anything I want, but no, it seems that all the things I left undone and ignored and it will take a long while for me to do anything but to play catchup.

Yet, it is not like I have stopped thinking, stopped wondering, how the life has changed in the past few months, not mine, mind you, at least not by very much, if any at all.

Yet, for years I have told my children (a captive audience), and any one else that would listen that the world is about to change and not for the better. I have told, as it is written in this blog, of this economic crisis, and the social decline that has brought us here. I do not preach about a "GOD", even if there were one. I do preach, or talk about the humanity and the causes of our downfall. I have outlined the problems, of health care, of pollution and over population, of finance systems and lack of social responsibility, of lack of boundaries and its role in crime, child welfare and diseases and how it is all tied together.

No one knew when the exact date was that the markets will fall, but as I told everyone, including my children, that one day you wake up and it is not the world you went to bed in. Today the world is not the same that you knew even five ten or one year ago, the paradigm has shifted, though many are slow to notice, yet others believe that soon the things will go back to like they used to be in short order.

If you to have some doubts, or may be a notion that soon the things will be same as before, "" NOT HAPPENING"".

If you have read this blog before of may be you need to go through it sometime, you know there is nothing new in the headlines today that I have not already been discussing here or talking to people or writing to the papers about for many years.

It is also my philosophy that the day of judgment happens to people everyday, that it is not necessarily a collective event, it can happen individually depending on the circumstances.

As we go through these new and uncertain times, I wait for the humanity to wake up and to realize what has happened and so far though most of the people do not even know there is a real problem. Soon though, real soon, I think everyone will know how the world has changed, for ever. Then and only then there will be a real solution, a solution that itself will be a bitter pill to swallow.

Once again, it is all tied together, on of my favorite passages from the Koran states,

"
36.51": And the trumpet shall be blown, when lo ! from their graves they shall hasten on to their Lord.

"36.52": They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent God promised and the apostles told the truth".

Let us, for a moment, forget GOD, forget Islam, and forget religion, then notice how contemporary this passage is. We created a society, and we said we did not need morals, or boundaries, we did not need truth or honesty, we said it was better to get rich than to pay a fair wages, we said we could exploit the poor, the widows and the orphans and exploit the earth and her resources, now we have poverty, hunger, unemployment, pollution and disease.

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
