Most events of life , are always more than they first appear to be . And in our rush to understand what little of it we can , we either oversimplify what we witness or declare it to be a chaotic mess that has no coherence what so ever .
European societies lean more in our times toward center-left , while American society leans more to center- right , though not most American colleges . In most of the Middle - East , the Arab and Musslem world , the population and consequently their political upheavals of the post colonial times , largely had the tendencies of replacing their existing aristocracies based on family and land with an aristocracy based on military , or religious patronage .
Religion and military throughout the region maintained it's strong hold , and helped dampen possible social revolutions with only violent military coups , or Islamic upheavals countering it . Delusional thoughts and acts of both sides have become disconnected from reality .
In circumstances associated with Syrian events , Iraqi , or even the Lebanese situation , as well as most of the Arab and Musslem world , living in the moment is often all that seems available and possible for all the population and inhabitants , young and old alike , forgetting the past , isolated in their present , and disoriented by an unclear , and a totally obscured future . Most people openly dream of a change , instead they only live and dwell in the shadow of their respective religions , ethnicities , and sects .
Extended family network connectedness , and especially the old ruling mentality that winner take-all politically and economically on the ground are still so entrenched and central in these societies .
But these are rational arguments and descriptions , and the rational , when too much blood had been spilled , and too much suffering occurred , does not work or function anymore .
AS the Syrian barbaric situation goes into it's fourth year , and the senseless blood- shed continues in Iraq and most of these referred to countries and populations , one comes to think , should we let the years of craze over there , demolish and annihilate everyone , and make all stop believing in themselves as human beings , make them barely survive instead of live , or just live the absurd , created so well by all , and I really , literally , mean all .
Keep reminding myself of the impossible situation the whole Oummah is in , and wonder if there's room for help , and if help does help after all , thanks for your time and patience , salamat .
