Religion & State: There is no separation in reality (part 01)

The principle of the separation between “religion” and “state/power (government institutions)”, it appeared in order to release the mind from the myth, to reducing the power of religious authorities in the state, which brought the materiality sense on all moralities’ sources.

This principle is one of the most important principles and great achievements for the modern democracy of the new “century”. The purpose was to guarantee the absolute freedom for everyone without any authority which limits this liberty. But in the reality this separation didn’t realised at all.

The link between the two matters is existing always. It’s a part of the social psychological, in the people’s convictions even the majority don’t know about it and in fact it’s existing inside them. They tell opinions they decide, they behave according to their religious convictions. The public activities are influenced by religious beliefs and practices when the gaol -from this policy in life- was quite the opposite.

Probably it’s not so clear when the treatment is between people who have this side in common ( in the same area), when they cross the distances to far nations, new customs and traditions, new religions, new lifestyles, in that time they’ll feel the difference in treatment and vice versa.

One simulation is in my mind and I imagine this story; if a person had cruel circumstances in his life, the misery and maybe the living in war, if this life made him an unorganized person (of course he still thinking to survive and to demand the better for his life), but in the first meeting with “the civilized” person (like all people understand this word) should not expect to get a formal treatment from him, simply because the first doesn’t know exactly how to undertake that and his psychological condition is already broken. In order we hope to get the understanding from the second person to manage that. But if he wants to be standing against him through new technologies or maybe weapons even to kill him. In my opinion, the both are beasts, because of some wrong comportments are controlling their behaviours. It’s a pity and very sad to see this tragic end. One among these compartments is the religion. Why we can’t welcome to the other only because of their faith? What are the main reasons for that? Can we find objective answers and not to relax our consciences, but to reach the truth? It’s very important to do that, and it needs to think about it too.

the deformed democracy of 21st century (part 2)

I continue in the same context about the symptoms of social life today, according to the different concepts of democracy between people, and how they behave according to their understanding for this concept …..

The fact of the social life in several countries.

The economic circumstances is commanding in the social life of people and a lot of obstacles which prevent the progress are coming from the bad economic situation. The worldly system of wealth’s distribution isn’t fair enough for all people in every society, and the hole between rich and poor people broadens constantly.

When the rich people become richer, and the poor get more poverty, because they want only to avail so quickly in the real time and people think just in abstract benefits, regardless to the moralities. From this position; we are trying to take a moment to think about the life around us, people today almost forget why they gather the wealth in life? What’s the utility of having a big fortune in life when you can see people die because they can provide even a loaf to eat? How can these people taste the life without any iota of sense about others? Probably that everyone can find answers for himself by looking to the matter.

“me and after me the flood”…………   

The world is based on the benefits of people between each other, right, and nobody can provide a good livelihood for himself if others don’t need his work, his offers and his qualifications. That was the beginning of trade by the exchanging merchandises. So why we find a thought like : “me and after me the flood”, I mean : if I’m safe; I won’t care about others, and I won’t look back even if the flood comes on others I won’t care. So everyone thinks only in his own business, personal safety, it’s normal, but “regardless to other people whatever they’re”, I do my best to keep my benefits and I don’t look what probably happen to others (good or bad) even if I’m the reason for that but I won’t care, and there is the problem in the matter, the problem in the concept of democracy for this person.

We can’t blame anybody who takes this deformed concept in his mind, because the great powers in society and the authorities who make decisions in country, all of them forge this situation and made that as a lifestyle for society unfortunately. You can’t make the world going according to your wishes, because when you’ve the power to do it; you’ll bring many shakes on your environment (small or big)

It isn’t a platform to accuse the global system, but in fact people in everywhere suffer because of bad circumstances in life more and more, it’s a critical view on the existing system whereas we need to mention that and to lighten some aspects of this matter to see its importance on our concepts in life.

the deformed democracy of 21st century (part 1)

   Idiomatically the concept of democracy came from the Greek nation and created from two words with meaning of “the power of people” generally “power of the human”, but this concept was incomplete when the foreigners and slaves were excluded from the rule, and they haven’t the same rights like the citizens and the meaning exactly became “the power of liberated Greek citizens –only-“.

   The world today inherited the idea of democracy from the results of revolutions which changed the kingdom’s systems in Britain and France to legislative and popular nations (I mean the political systems). So the democracy is a feeling of dual appreciation for the human to himself and for the others in the same time, then it expanded on the entire world (to other nations). This feeling didn’t fixed with confines (unlimited), it was absolute liberation which made problems of falling down in the darkness of previous case before revolutions, this case brought several negative phenomenons which affect on the social, political, and economical life in nations.

   Because of the separation between the power “the state” and the religion “the faith ; the western nations today built their societies on tangible and economic goals in the life (worldly life only), that make people in hurry to earn more and obtain their personal interests, more of benefits, feeling of egotism, …etc.  “Whatever the means”         

   And we can see the monopoly of minority on the majority, then we get in result the citizen like a slave to his economic situation between the hands of powerful leaders, this is in the west. Although this material condition for life is controlled by governments in the east (guaranteed) but in counting on the individual freedoms.

   With time; these situations will create risks of destabilization of these societies in the near future because of there is no-means to keep the control in starting from the individual psychology even the social life of people (the soul of people together as a nation). And we’ll see the no-confidence increased, oriented liberty of speech, the monopoly, deception, avidity, stealing rights for private interest.

  The democracy (before practicing it) is a feeling of course of appreciation of the individual to himself as equal as to the others, then a system which guarantees certain conditions to provide the individual rights and social assurance in confines.

Time out .. to look back.

The life is full of coincidences, surprises, and many events, for everybody. And we’ve to interact  with them and have a reaction toward everything happen.

The majority of these crossroads happen in second and third decades of our lives (an a little bit maybe happen before too). Where the friends are as close as the family (or more), where we start really make deals and pacts with this world.

In first clash with real face of life, we don’t know what we should do exactly, we walk in very careful steps (less experiences), or stat imitating people around us, to feel by some of confidence. The fate gives us many opportunities to meet precious people (and some people want to help us, and others hurt us in somehow), but the good news is:

That the both are giving the help, the first one is easy to understand, but the second is an experience which makes us stronger than before in front of life. And the two kinds of people, together; guide us to conclude that in the life we must go ahead.

And of course, the years are expiring quickly, and the life also, new experiences, new knowledge and new people around us too.

 It’s sooo busy life, right ? !!! the success after another .. and everything looks well, because we feel that. We’re still looking for the future and we think a lot how can we make a great future, but before few months, or years …etc we felt the same ( I guess). The question is :

Why we forgot the people of preview years (or just months) ? you can answer me that is the life.  But let me try to help you in answer, some people were beside you in bad times (all time) and you should be grateful to them ( at least by staying in touch with them), because now; you’re us you’re it, through their help and their standing beside you,  ( the problem is that we forgot the bad times, when we’re fine , and also forgot that kind people.) and we don’t appreciate really what others did for us in those times.

Did you think maybe one of them  desperately need you now ? or just talk with ( to give the feeling of not isolation ) Prove him ( her) that he (she) isn’t excluded or  marginalized.

I’ll tell my opinion here, if you never thought about that, even these people were always so kind and polite with you, always, so you worthily have honor of appellation ” SELFISH “.

Why not, now you have many people and friends, you don’t need ancients of them, you abhor to think in old way, as you were before, yes ! even you were also happy how you were in that time.

If you continue thinking in the same way as you’re now, and stay in contact with these friends, what can change? Nothing !!!

The word “precious”, means that’s rarely to find such as that thing. And also the friend, when you find him \ her, you’ll be so stupid if you left him \ her after short time.

The life can change our interests, but shouldn’t change our good principles, our good qualities,  And if the future is everything for you, so no future without your outcomes from past.

Maybe someone agrees with me, and someone no, share with us your opinions and answers about these questions.
