Other victims in the societies (part 01)

   the lifestyles are the accumulation of habits and doings during many generations, and now we see many things in our lives so important to continue this life, maybe some among them are necessary really, but the problem is when the human becomes like a machine in the daily life, thinks only how to do that, how can i get this or that, ...etc. It's the nature of human to think, develop and enhance, but a lot of thoughts are wrong when we consider them obligatory to live (priority than other things).

   We got in this life many stumbles to limit our vision to horizons, maybe they came from close people, from the general direction in the country (through stupid policies of half-leaders maybe...etc). and the people who are victims to these situation, and we can find them in every country, why they look like victims, because they’re skilled people, educated, young (and you can imagine the power of youth age) all these advantages, but they haven’t anything in life, and don’t get any half opportunity to achieve something, and the wise among them feel that they’re burden on their families, their friends, their societies. They suffer from these situations, then another failure, and maybe third, fourth, ..etc, in different sides in life. In the midst of these conditions, their failures in fact, maybe small, negligible or a little immense but they still failures until now, right, and this is the problem.

   The different events start to accumulate, and in your mind also you start be convinced it's a true crisis, because you still haven't meet any positive thing for few days or weeks (in your mind you think that, because you just see in this way now).

   When these people met a failure for some certain reasons, they thought that the problem is in them, it’s true relatively in somehow but not absolutely, because of many factors are playing in the events and they can interfere in them. “I saw in one document some people who quit the life of today, and preferred the free life in the forest without any exaggerated confines made of the lifestyles in society today, only because they felt by the hypocrisy in the society and it isn’t appropriate to live. They don’t believe it. and remember! You’ll lose the taste of the life if you haven’t any purpose and you don’t do anything in that way to achieve something.

   As we said in the previous articles, that many people suffer in this world, not because they haven’t chance to work something or to give an addition, or they can’t be productive, although they’re ready and eligible to give an additional value, but the problem is in their environment where they couldn’t get an interesting progress because the opportunities are null.

   Another view on the topic; a lot of people are qualified and skilled in their jobs, but they’re fired because they didn’t like the oppression and they wanted to apply in reality their rights. They thought it's easy to do, but in the end; they look like guilty people because they didn’t prefer to keep the silence on unjust matters, because they though really that the government can guarantee their rights and they talked in absolute democracy when they ask their needs and rights, whereas they become disappointed unfortunately and chocked from that.

    Not only that; but they can’t even find a new job in reason of “you threaten the standing of our company, you probably put a crucial case in our company or bring a menace” I saw a report about some people in this situation who feel destroyed and they can’t succeed to have a new job ‘they’re not accepted” when they apply to do. Is it fair enough? I don’t think so it’s a disaster in our century, this 21^st century.

Religion & State: There is no separation in reality (Part 03)

    I’m still giving more arguments about the matter of religion in life, and how the life is very complicated because of these interferences in ways that we don’t see them clearly, but they’re true.

   Today people and nations deal each other in starting from their religious backgrounds, they behave in starting from that it’s the modernization of the new century (new age), that the life imposes it, it’s their understanding to the democracy, and liberty of speech in somehow. They deny the effects of this background on their opinions and views and they try to find a different explanation. Certainly the foreign affairs in every government work in order to guarantee benefits and if we focus on the matter, we’ll see the deep roots of those benefits in religious aspects.

  We can find this effect in every decision, every treatment or deal, so it’s available always as a factor among us using in everywhere, we can’t deny the existing of religious background in the life.

   Practically we can’t separate between these two aspects in everything we do it in life. And I add one more thing. In philosophy the philosophers talked a lot about one important issue, it’s the relationship between the topic and the person who’s studying it? Sometimes the way of events’ organization imposes on you the way how to interpret then to react according to your previous knowledge for many years.

   And it’s called “the regularity of shapes”, the simple example is to draw an arc and ask many people to continue the drawing, the majority (if I don’t say all of them) will complete the arc and draw a circle. Why they don’t draw another form and they have in mind only the circle at the first glance. That’s because depending on the previous knowledge which the person got throughout many years. Furthermore; when I look at the history I distinguish clearly the same effects with these backgrounds.

   Now tell me! Does the interference of your religious background on your deals bring a qualitative addition in your life? What’s the positive effect on your way to see and treat everything happening around you? Don’t you think that this intervention can be unjust sometimes; where you’re mistaken you get wrong opinions, wrong convictions and you believe that you’re certainly right?

   I want you think about this matter to attain answers for controlling more yourself and limit the interference when it is not logical and not wise to not react awfully or not to do something stupid that you’ll regret after it.

   In the next articles, I’ll try to discuss another part from our daily life, and the some problems are in our societies coming from people themselves according to the laws.

Religion & State: There is no separation in reality (part 2)

    All details in our life today are accumulations of several experiments and it’s possible that they came only from the human mind “alone”, but it’s based on truths overriding this human and derived from a great power in the universe who brought this law (which it’s represented in religious legislation “coming from the god and not the part made of people under religious cover”).

    These rules are approved (agreed) with our instincts and the social heritage during many centuries, therefore they –the rules- organize better the life from spiritual aspect through all religions of humanity.

    In everywhere; airports, hotels, institutions …etc we find the toilets are separated why? Why we feel awful when we see bad behaviour, but we enjoy and feel pleasant about the good deeds? Why we’ve this impression. We sleep at night while we awake on day to strive and work. When people break the rule which organize well the nature of relationships between man and woman, our societies become more unstable. If we search more, we’ll see many great social values and decencies came from our pure religions and they still until now in our customs.

   How can we make this separation, and the religion is a part from the family relations and social life between people even the relationship between the sexes is controlled by the faith, especially if we talked about the celebrated religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and all these matters enter in the state governance.

   Can you see how much the faith influences on our thoughts, behaviours, our decisions and deals in unintentional way?

   Everyone asks himself about the reasons why he likes or dislikes this or that? All feelings, like hate, revenge, love, are controlled by his religion (I gather all mankind in the same side, even the agnostics and atheist are certainly human religions made of themselves *). I can make an easy question here does your faith hamper (prevent) you to decide something in your life? In other way; was your belief the cause to change an opinion about someone, then some people, or change your decisions in life? Nobody can answer me “NO” because we all do that in life, the most important question now is there any way to control it when the guidance is wrong on me? And there is a way to distinguish between the positive and negative effects of religion in your views and convictions?

*All habits and traditions which the human abides them is his religion, whether it was based on belief in god or not.

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.

The path to reach the happiness (part 3/3)

   If you’re healthy person now, so you’re better than millions who can continue their lives because of sickness, if you’ve a house and your food in it, you’re better than many nations in the world who can’t get that for one day. If you’re safe, and you’ve not a war, you’re not living in mountains and forests because of battles, tortured or in jails, so you’re better than the half of the people in the world, let us gather these advantages together, and see how much you’re better than many many many of people.

   Remember that when you lose some things in your life and you can’t get them or had something then you lost it, for some reasons, remind always the axis of your life and your general social position, if someone lives forever in a castle and he doesn’t eat anything except the sweets and honey, this person won’t taste this honey, and he won’t feel how much is sweet this honey is he didn’t taste before the bitterness, like that you’ll have a reference to distinguish between the two different senses of taste. It’s the same in life, when you don’t feel the hardness of your efforts; you can’t taste the happiness after that. The sweetness is coming by the tiredness in doing something and working to realize your goals. We can understand the importance of a lot of things when we compare them with the worst cases.

                              The happiness comes through the giving, not taking.

   Search on the happiness By giving : you can’t find a diversity in opinions between philosophers and they agreed that the highest level of happiness comes through giving to others, and not through getting, (Maybe you give a money, maybe a science, maybe a help or advise, …etc) but you’ll feel happy after. And I give an example here, the writers work hard and for late times at nights to revise, write, correct and write again, only to get the final product, it’s very hard working really, it’s big tiredness, but in time where these writers receive the first copy of this book, they forget all pains or white nights, and all the previous tiredness disappears suddenly, they feel so happy in this moment because they succeed to give something for others, although the hardness of the road. Don’t insult everything you can give it, big or small, even a smile! (I talked in previous article about it “who are the best people”). It’ll reflect on you positively, so try to reach your happiness by giving and not always by talking only. Try a different way and preview your feelings after that regardless to the kind of this giving. You’ll be happy when you really enjoy what you’re doing.

   I resume now the matter from these articles and what I wanted to say: It isn’t logic to make your happiness depending on something you don’t have them yet. You should accept your circumstances and because it’s necessary to pass this way (this situation); don’t feel blue and don’t see everything dark, it’s a temporary storm in life you should enjoy it by the available advantages existing, always remember the positive side.

   Just one more thing; try to give a little from your time for others, offer the help if you can that and don’t wait the thank because your good feeling –after that- is your thank for yourself.

    I got this meaning from a poem, and I want to share it with you here:
“The happiness is coming from you, it doesn’t come from far, it’s coming from your mind, from your heart, and it doesn’t come by money,  so be happy by yourself (through your thoughts), and make your happiness by your convictions, or let the matter of happiness for the happy people.”

*This article (third part) is based on a lecture I watched it since 4 or 5 years ago, was talking about the happiness.
