So you do love your country?

I grow up learning how great is my country and how should I love it, starting with teaching us how to draw our national flag in kinder garden to know our history and all the bravery stories. Frankly those are pretty good stories and I do love my country and my heritage but once I tried to look up my motive why I love my country and what does that means?

After a while I think I love my country and my people cause I know them more than any other people in the world but I grow up with foreigners too and yet I love them equally so maybe It's not the people I love the country. Love the sand the history love streets love all those yet it doesn't make any sense to me how to love things more than I love the people. what kind of aspects and traits in my people that make me love them? generosity? yeah but I know some cheap people and I still love them in spite of that. To sum it all up I love my people cause we talk the same language, have the same beliefs and feel each other from struggles and bad times to fun and good times.

People are people anywhere and from everywhere maybe cultural differences but in the end we shed the same blood and tears we laugh we love we hate using similar motives, it's safe to say our similarities are much more than our differences. I have this group of buddies we chill together always at the same place from 4 different continents and we do enjoy our time like we are brothers and sister just cause we decided to put our differences aside 

Patriotism and nationalism can be the fuel to prosperity or can be used as the mother of all conflicts to cause wars, genocides and all sort of trouble in this world and make it a real sick world. Historically your grand grand father killed my grand grand father, is that a reason to hate you? if yes then it's safe to say that we all hate each others (which is true to some people like the hate between Jews and the Arab world or north and south Korea).

Maybe you strongly love your country especially if your away from it yet you left it anyway but I'm pretty sure everyone got a reason why to leave your homeland but your home sickness and love to your homeland can't be changed to hate towards other people just cause your country had conflicts in the past with different countries. if you believe in god I don't think any religion said your country is better than another or those people are better another.

Supremacy is always the next step to extremists they feel they are the best so don't be an extremist and think just cause your from whatever country you're better than anyone else try to see through flesh through culture through differences, you will find the world more friendly and peaceful   

I love this picture but the a misunderstanding will rise "you ask me not to love my country?" NO not at all i'm just saying love the world like you love your country make your patriotism part of being humanitarian. If most of the world like this we won't see starvation in Africa cause you in the other side of the world will feel like those are your people dying of starvation, charity and donations to help should be global not just to help the people living inside some man made lines on a map called borders. Love the world love the people be a citizen of the world. if you love the world you still love your country and your people cause they are part of this world.

The bad side of this that you might defend everything your country does even if it's unethical or it's just wrong. Malcom X once said "You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality . Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or says it" if you think something is wrong say it don't let this pride tame you it's actually those who learn from history mistakes to lead the way to a better future.

Finally i'd like to leave some great quotes:

I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to any state or national entity whatsoever. Albert Einstein

No one is patriotic about taxes. George Orwell

Patriotism is, fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw

I'm A Citizen Of The World

Corporations Rule The World

"Dear reader, what you're about to read will blow your mind off" actually it's not, not at all but this is how corporations get your attention. What you see is what you want but what they see in you is a dollar sign and that's where problems emerged. I don't have a problem with a certain corporation and I'm definitely not just gathering some unrealistic boring conspiracy theories this is not Glenn Beck. I always believe in the PP Power to the People but no one ever fought in this world so the power will be to corporations.

Change a president change an ideology yet the world still sucks cause this is like giving the world a uniform to hide what's wrong with it yet corporations still owns it, some corporations can be legit and all and yet like mafia or gang without guns or even with guns sometime. It might look like legal competition between corporations and economic entities yet it's a little civilized cock fight. You can fight a dictator but how can you fight a corporations? they might even give you some cool gadgets so yeah they are cool but are they?

Yeah Obama used a little Vito to help Apple (I'm an iPhone guy) to cancel a legit decision against the company to stop selling some old devices inside the US for copyright violation, spokesperson said this was released do make sure the US economy won't get affected so yeah we do have corporations as bullies too and that's not for your satisfactions it's just for the dollar. That was a little example of how corporations can rule and don't get me started on tobacco industry.

I do love MacDonald's and all of this food it taste delicious, after i'm done with my Big Mac let me tell you how corporations can kick hard, food corporations act the same like any corporations you're a dollar sign too including your health I even read that they design there chairs too be a little uncomfortable so you eat pay and get the hell out to make a room for more customers I mean more room for money bags. A corporation will serve you food or as my friend told me "it's like a plastic food" despite of health concerns. I'm not even going to mention arm dealers and corporations. Legal person, Corporate law and Corporate crime yet same old same old, ironically corporation comes from cooperation.

Actually this corporations war and resistance is not like 50 years old fight it goes to way in the past even before Lincoln Said:         

as much as I know it started in 1600 or so and yet corporations still own and rule the world in one way or another for two reasons; they are pretty good in marketing and nothing is bigger than a huge corporation we even invest in those so it's not a fight to be won, I hope I'm wrong though. Mitt Romney once said "Corporations are People" I'm not really sure though. Let's just hope for moral corporations or a strong district law to regulate our lives while putting the dollar aside for once in this humanity.

Ideas over leaders

Human History is full of figures and leaders some lead to a better life others paved the way to hell. From Kings, presidents and prime ministers to religious. I believe it's a myth that the world needs leaders instead of ideas, from where I see it world leaders act like fathers to their followers and sometimes in some parts in the world from idolizing a leader it make him a god or whatsoever. Ideas and hopes are a total different story cause ideas can be immortal unlike leaders.

I'm not against leadership and inspiring at all, some people need someone to look up to to be better but no one will be here forever but their ideas can live forever, in 1968 MLK died and his gone from this world but his ideas live to this day and probably it's one of the reasons that america has it's first African american president. Gandhi once said We must be the change we wish to see in the world. now that's what leaders for to inspire others, but assuming our role models and people we look up to are never wrong is where this can get dangerous your leader is not the Shepherd and we are not sheep.

Tolerance, world peace, hope and equity are all ideas that lived long you might find leaders embracing those but no one care who "invited" or first ask for those that's because ideas overs leaders. who should introduce ideas to the world? absolutely anyone can but someone with a lot of followers saying the same idea can get it alive and that's how leaders make ideas instead of ideas making leaders. The answer is people's awareness to filter ideas and pick the ones they like inspire of who's saying it, take fashion for a simple example if a huge world wide superstar starts a weird fashion trend people tend to copy that just cause their idol are doing it.

Negative leaders caused a lot of pain to this world from a Nazi Hitler and the death of millions in world war two to other dictators around the world and the Arab spring is the current example of that. Yet people still think changing a president Democratic or republican  or whatever people should be feared by their leaders not the other way around this way a president will be a real civil servant to his country.

Although I believe that corporations run this world I still believe in "Power To The People" but those people got to have a certain level of education and coexistence abilities so democracy won't turn to absolute chaos.   

Women as Objects

Women and how societies and communities see them can be really different from one place to another while the same women here or there, but this different views coming from cultural, religion and educational basis. Feminism is just the logical step against different kinds of discrimination organist women although feminists will have less impact in third world countries where they should be more impact as there is more discrimination against women in those countries.

My biggest wondering is how can we give someone their rights while they don't even feel they suffering from any lack of rights as they been raised to make them believe they are the sideman to your man. The fact that some women biggest dream is to find love with a man doesn't mean she's a sidekick to this man, it's a partnership they both are equal. I think this man domination to the world have one factor behind it "strength" body strength as the animal side of us use strength  as a supremacy reason while we are in a world were minds change the world.

I can mention hundreds of women who had a huge effect through mankind history but at the end of the day whatever she did they will always talk about her looks and outfit, the sad thing is not only men don't care much about what a woman do but other women too with all the focus on her physical and outside looks. For those who love stats do you know that the average IQ of a woman is higher than the average of a man?

Women as a sex objects is one of the most shameful ideas ever, I'm not going to talk about how women mistreated sexually especially in third world countries.  Even in developed countries women can be treated as sex objects as it's a marketing fact the women catch eyes so they can be used or use their bodies as a way of marketing. From one mistreatment to another comes sex slavery and trafficking, they call it escorting, fun massage parlors, prostitution or even pornography I call it slavery either to a dollar or a pimp or even the idea of selling bodies. Read more about sex slavery and you will see how discrimination against women  can lead to.

Different ways around the world and through history shows how women mistreated women as workers or property is another way of discrimination and mistreatment in some places around the world women get paid less cause she don't have the same chromosomes as a man. Women in Saudi are not allowed to drive cars for some reasons. In the Arab world a woman will be so famous for a sex tape and yet most Arabs don't even know who Tawakel Karman is or Shirin Ebadi. Women and religions will always be a question mark but I belie that all religions that I read about respect women and cherish their value but bending religions to fit agendas or some men preferences could be the reason behind the feeling of mistreatment to women. for more examples I strongly recommend this check it out.

Women and I don't have to tell you that those women are our mothers, sister and daughters cause that's just cheesy they can only have their full rights when the majority of women understand and feel that they deserve better while brave men will back them up, this is not only for women it's for all humanity.

Haters gonna hate, but should they?

It's a fact that hatred is just part of us and we can't argue about that, but what we can really argue about is the amount and types of hate cause only here we can determine how this hate control our lives. From hating an artist (maybe Justin who knows) to hating a commercial brand to hate speech to hating a race every step on the way you getting closer for more than hatred feelings but to cause real damage on the ground, check this picture below

Yeah fortunately it's a pyramid which means as we go up less do this but the bad news is that those on the top of the pyramid caused world wars and since 1945 the world is trying to avoid WWIII and avoiding the hate should be the logical move not just removing massive destruction weapons cause war crimes and genocides existed long before MDW in fact they existed wherever you found this huge amount of hate.

On the top of the pyramid is like how to end the world kind of hate but below this hate can still be harmful from violence as a huge percent of homicides based on hatred and revenge which is no surprise at all. Then we find discrimination and how this can lead to more than just hatred feelings as it can climb up this pyramid to the top. Like LGBT and this kind of discrimination is an example, also I think the main reason behind crisis in the middle east which is a vital spot on the world is based on some kind of hate, from discrimination for minorities to the feeling of supremacy for majorities especially there in Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria.

Through history hate changed the world more than once for example discrimination against Christians in the first century AD just cause they believe in something their governments believe is dangerous for the empire and how this changed the course of history while now there is over two billion christian, ironically discrimination against Muslims is growing although with less violence in most parts of the world (not Burma) but the same idea of stereotyping and religion discrimination still exists. If you looking for more irony you will find out that those same Muslims fighting discrimination are accused of discrimination and mistreating non Muslims in places like the Arab world especially against Jews and atheists.

You can't talk about hate without mentioning the man of the year on time magazine for the year 1938 Adolf Hitler and his hate which leads to creating Holocausts and personally I think what happened during this era is the main reason behind today's Israel-Arab conflict.

Armenians genocide is another example of how hate can cause in blood baths same as Burma situation but I don't have enough trusted information to talk more about it.  

Years and years can pass and time fly by and still some Christians hate Jews for crucifixion of Jesus, Armenians hate Ottoman's (Turkey), Muslims hate Jews, Jews hate Nazis and Germans but I guess with more good quality education this hatred can be minimal.

  

MJK and how he stranded up for discrimination and even his death is to this day an inspiration to me and to other millions same as Gandhi same as the Arab spring they controlled their hate and achieve their goals and even more for bunch of coming generations to look up to those as role models. You can disarm the whole world from any kind of weapons and keep looking or you can plant some useful seeds for better future bottom line Don't tell your kid to hate anyone.

Hope

"There is always hope" a quote we heard it many times and most of us will agree on that, so we all agree? then where is the hope and why there is so much despair in this world? fact is we say we believe and agree but actions say otherwise. Hope is a myth? I agree hope is myth that we and only we can bring it to life and make it reality, but if u wanna a better definition of hope I'll give you one "positive thinking" and i'm not saying this stuff about energy like "the secret" cause quite honestly I don't believe in that but what I believe in is how powerful minds can be. look at different fields of life "hope" is a gold mine they even get money out of it, yeah I'm talking money. Medically we wanna beat cancer more hope more fund, investment talking more hope more investment even hope in religious matters we hope for heaven we do more good deeds.

Imagine there is no hope at all  we won't try hard enough cause we don't care enough we just wanna survive. keep making scenarios in your head for total negative examples you will find it full of despair.

Who's the leader of hope? you are that leader if you embrace hope to you and to those around you then you're that leader, but through history  some people manipulate others in the name of hope and there is more than one example from crusades to war on terrorism  they create a hope to get benefits. Hope and politics have been always related.

Alfred Adler said: “We cannot think, feel, will, or act without the perception of a goal” which is the meaning of pure hope. Hope is that important that they actually can measure hope so it goes they hope to measure hope cause hope means life.

Be aware the opposite of hope is not despair but it's the fear to hope.
