في حياة الانسان
في كل يوم وكل ثانية يصنع الانسان حوارا مع نفسه عن الف موضوع، وكأنه مضخة من افكار نصفها عن العاطفة لشخص قابله في ذات اليوم والنصف الاخر خليط من امور عقلانية وتخيلات، يظن نفسه انه ملك او فارس او اي شخص يملك سيف التغيير لكي يغير العالم بأسره على الاقل في خياله، لعله حلم كل انسان ان يغير كل شيء في الدنيا، لعله سيتحقق هذا الحلم او انه يتحقق الآن، ولكن ان كان كل تفكيرنا بالمستقبل هو تحت عنوان “الحلم” فاين سنذهب بكلمة “وهم“، في الواقع كثرة الافكار كعدد النجوم لا يحصى، او انه بالفعل النجمة كالفكرة قد تكون منطفئة او تغير زمانها بمجرد الاطلاع عليها، او النظر اليها، ولعلها موجودة فعلا في بحر السماء كما يدعي البعض وهذا البحر يشبه بحر الغباء عند البعض، لعدم القدرة على الامساك بها، فإن استطاع العقل الانساني البسيط الايمان بوجود الشيء يستطيع ان يآمن بالقدرة على الوصول الى ذلك الشيء، ولكن ما عساه الانسان ان يفعل وهو يفعل ما يظن انه محتوم عليه فعله، وانه عندما يريد التغير، يغير ما هو واجب عليه تغييره وكأنه خط من الحتمية التي يتخللها التغير ولكن النتيجة واحدة، فلما ستؤول هذه الافكار المحصورة في مدار الكون والأفق البعيد؟
The Culture of Imperialism
“I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.”
This is what Mahatma Gandhi once said about violence. Today the spreading culture is working upon half of this statement which is to deny violence and call those who act using it terrorists. I wonder what is said about occupation, and right of liberty.
Is there any chance left to reach a Peace Agreement in the Middle East?
As we all know, the Israeli Palestinian conflict is considered the center of all other conflicts, violence, and chaos in the Middle East. Beside that, the instability in the Middle East is the reason for any international instability or chaos either it is in the economical field, or security and wars. A good question to ask these days is whether really there is any chance left for reaching a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
