Dostoyevsky

Today I guess pretty much everyone is concerned of what is happening, of what might happen in case Congress of the US decides 'to hit'.

All these frightening images of suffering innocent people, horrifying pictures broadcasted by all of the mass media sources, UK parliament refuses, UN investigators investigating, Russia says this, Obama says that...

It is tough, to judge something that is happening right at this particular moment is tough and quit difficult thing to do. Imagine, you want to see the writing on the coin. To do so you take the coin as close as possible to your eyes level. And then you see the writing, but you can't see the rest of the world. All you see is that small writing. My point is that it is worthless to judge politics, simply because you can't be objective in doing so, so many prejudices, so many emotions, empathies and sympathies.. Wait, time passes, and then see, judge, have your opinion on who was right, and who was wrong.

But nothing is new in these wars in the name of democracy, in the name of liberty, in the name of something surely important from one's view...

Since I mentioned literacy in my first blog post, I'll try to keep this tradition in my second post :)

Fyodor Dostoyevsky was saying about this 'While there is still time, I hasten to protect myself, and so I renounce the higher harmony altogether. It's not worth the tears of that one tortured child who beat itself on the breast with its little fist and prayed in its stinking outhouse, with its unexpiated tears to 'dear, kind God'! It's not worth it, because those tears are unatoned for. They must be atoned for, or there can be no harmony... I don't want harmony. From love for humanity I don't want it.'

'Is harmony worth a child's single tear?', he is asking. It is worth it! It is worth it!!! Might be the answer from the US.

But let's see, they say Congress will start debating tomorrow. Let's see, and try not to judge things while they are happening. Nothing is new, everything is cyclical.
