What a clever Godson I have

It happened last Saturday during lunch time, everyone was sited at the table, we were all except one. My godson was having a tantrum and didn't want to sit at the table and eat, although he liked the menu very much.

We waited all at the table for him to reconsider and join us so that could finally start to enjoy the fruits of my parents' labor, but he did no such thing. My father waited five minutes, but then he could not hold any more steam, he arose from his sit with a accelerated pace went to find my little godson.

They confronted each other in a place where we, the ones sited at the table could not see, but could hear; and the radio novel went like so:

Father: Behave yourself and go join us at the table, THIS INSTANT!!

Godson: NO!! I DON'T WANT TO!!!

F: Do as I tell you or you'll see!

G: No!

F: You have two options either you behave yourself or I'll slap you!

(And there was silence for 5 hole seconds where I can only assume my godson though about the words he was about to say)

G: I want the slap but with little strength

My father then granted his wish.

F: Now behave yourself and join us at the table…

G: No! I got the slap so now I don't have to behave; you go to the table…

Eventually he joined us for lunch, after a while. But here is a seven years old child that given the choice between two bad things (in one he would get hurt in the other would be his pride) he decided to control how the option he choose would affect him, Brilliant! I'm so proud! There are many adults that can't even imagine doing the same.

Blood dripping down my back

Chief: How can we believe a man who would sell out his friends? 
Siegfried: Dumkopf! Who else are you supposed to sell out? You can't betray enemies! 

 

I was stabbed on the back and it's fucking disappointing.

I was waiting for something like this to happen but not this early.

So now I'll take some time to redefine some priorities, and then, we'll see what will happen.

Oligocracy

Jack's latest post links you to a video in which the first part is about the scheming that religion is and a second part about the power of rich and resourceful minority over the world.

If you saw the movie, you're probably surprised, and asking yourself "How can this be?"

I don't know how it all started, but my high school economics teachers told me that what we're so shocked to hear about started when the human first started to live in society.

I haven't study history in the last 5 years, but I think that the only time in human history that there was true democracy was during the first years as a society, before Egyptians, Greeks or Romans; there was a time when the human being life as part of a herd, and anyone could challenge the leader.

Since then the ratio of People in charge/ total population has just being decreasing. In ancient Rome, there was a senate; later during the dark ages the Vatican had sovereignty over every European kingdom; but then came Martin Luther and the over the world was under the protestant countries, being this the longest period of time without a shift, happening only after the first world war; after which all changed, having two Anglo-Saxons (USA and Great Britain) and Russia; But after world war two Britain got cut out of the picture, leaving the other two to divide the world into tow for the second time in history. But after the fall of the U. R.S.S. we were left only with the United States of America as a ruler.

Now if I could take a moment I would like to explain how an infant adult like me sees the society we live.

My point of view is that we don't live in democracy, but rather in a system known in economy has oligopoly (?) an oligopoly is a market form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers (oligopolists), but to make it more correct I'll give it a new name Oligocracy (mostly the same but under a different name). So oligocracy is a regime in which a small group of people rules the country.

You may argue that there are elections every 4-5 years to prevent that.

And you'll be absolutely right, by saying that. But this oligocracy is rules over any countries president. This oligopoly is controlled by banks, oil refineries, warlords… And every country is in dept to them. And this dept is so big that if the government does not fulfill with their demands they risk a total shut down, and actually bringing to life the metaphor shit hole we say we live in.

Now that I explained my way of seeing things, I know you're probably traumatized, greatly traumatized if you actually saw the movie till the end. But I have some words to ease you now:

If there's something that history taught us was that nothing lasts forever, so this system will crumble eventually.And when it does it's going to be either because of greed, competition or both.

What If?

There’s a point to everyone’s life in witch we ask ourselves “what if?”.
“What if it had rained?”
“What if It was the other way around?”

These two words have tormented for ages the mind of mankind. Genius are only such because they asked themselves time and time again, what if?
But be careful, for the question, doesn’t bring any answer attached, and many have suffered to the spells of its simplicity, unable to rise with a suitable answer.

My Father said...

My father said that today’s economic crisis is going to be a test to our desire for democracy in the western world.
We, who sing freedom all the time, may now step over those words, to break this negative tendency. It is not a new thing, but still, it is different to what happen in the past.
In the past crisis always were around when war approached, and then we knew who our enemies were. The Romans fought the Greek; the Muslins fought the Christians, Portuguese fought the Spanish; English fought the French; And each knew who their enemy was. But today we live in a society who sworn to protect peace at all cost, and faces an invisible enemy.
Every day since the nine eleven, we have been sold the idea that we are at war with terror, we’re at war with terrorism, and that we’re at war with an invisible enemy.
That would not be a problem the to fight against this idea that spoiled the minds of those misguided, created a great deal of suffering to this society we call our own; The thing is that by fighting this idea of terror, got into our ears and created a fear that was never before known, (and you just need to look around to see it) every day people are discriminated because of the idea that a terrorist lives right next to you, every day we have less freedom and privacy, because of terror.


Adding plus the economic crisis, I’m not certain that we will not give up our freedom for security. For someone to tell us who our enemy really is or just to give us a target in witch we can blame the mess we are in.
My Friends I fear that in a short period of time will throw the Universal Declaration of Human Rights out the window and do what the Romans did (and for a fresher example) or what the Germans after the First World War did. I already see the mobs’ marching, and extremist group gather more and more troops. I tell you this has a Friend “Our next steps are critical,” I’m warning you (history does have the tendency to repeat itself).

We may have a new Holocaust in our hands ready to blow, just watch it.

Hagane no renkinjutsushi

Alphonse Elric: Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.

This is not only a law of fiction; this law really exists in our society.
You dough it, then look around. In our world we’re constantly trading things. From words in dialog, to smiles and kisses, to money and services there is trade all around us. The question is, and is putted throw out the anime is; How much or what is Human life worth?

Edward Elric: Water, 35 litres. Carbon, 20kg. Ammonia, 4 litres. Lime, 1.5kg. Phosperus, 800g. Salt, 250 g. Niter, 100g. Sulphur, 80g. Fluorine, 7.5g. Iron, 5g. Silicon 3g. And fifteen other elements. Those are the elements to make an average adult human body. You can buy these elemental ingredients at the market with the pocket money of a child. Humans are made so cheaply.

The soul is missing. If what John said were to be correct souls would be cheap and easy to geat in this fantasy world. But It isn't. The cost of a soul is trully great has you will find if you decide to follow the anime or the manga
