War Stories...

The book i'm currently reading now is about war story in Europe, though i must admit most people are not that much of a fan of aggression, but actually you look at it,any amount of wars actually provide these kinds of solid underlying foundations of any civilizations wishing to make its mark in the history of men. long before there were history and historians we had people fighting and aggression over territories and necessities and today it hasn't changed much from the yesteryear's.

It is some wretched political ideal of population control where it is thought that much of the problems that exist in the world today is the result of people making so much love thus having so many babies to populate and contaminate the earth. this, has to be handled in many ways and one of the ways is extermination. scientists also have this idea that how Mother Nature is suppossed to curb overpopulation by being emotional and violent during sessions of her menstruations; thus justifying the occassional earthquakes and the accompanying tsunamis where hundreds of thousands perish.

Of course, all these are simple-minded thinking of the atheists whose godless lives have led them to resort to using common sense and nothing else for any untoward incidents that have come upon us. we Muslims don't wanna believe these simplistic views of explaining misfortunes and from time to time, we try to decipher how God's message is transferred through all these calamities and complexities and we try to learn and make amends from them. it is good that despite all these we manage to pull ourselves together and submit ourselves to Him rather than question on why are we the ones with hardship why the others are spared. we don't demand justice for we know that justice has always been served only that we fail or refuse to recognize it.

I will try to summarize a few paragraphs from sea of poppies that i managed to finish reading last weekend, somehow. it is quite a thick book with many plots but none that are inconsistent or incoherent with the main topic. it is a beautifully crafted book with beautiful lingo and styling and reading it is a pleasure in itself. i've already gotten another book by Leon Uris but that's not to be read until i have at least finished another Booker nominee ( i got my copy of the widely acclaimed 'The Betrayed" by David Hosp  now waiting for its turn to be savored).

Ref: a friend ask me"why not you directly involved in politics, don't you think about it?" Me:  Irregardless of the politics. it’s time we stopped dicking around.I’m telling you..NUCLEAR! is the only way out...
