About life

right now the most painful thorn in my flesh is my politics. What I need to understand is that there is something above politics in my life and that is love. 

Love

What love is:
Love is an antidote.
It is a language that a fully developed human has picked up for the survival of the race. 
That is why it is often difficult to talk about or to express it in any other language,
as it too is a language.
That came before the words came to us.
However, I believe if something is needed for the survival of the race, then it is worth a shot,
to invoke all the things that came before words,
to try and feel it, every once in a while,
in this rough world.

What love is not:
Love is not an antidote.
And it will not come if you go to it, as if you would to an antidote.
There is not much left to write about what love is not, because we have been at it for a while now,
explaining to each other what something is not.

So if anyway love is,
how can it not be?

That is all one needs to know to carry on. And I believe each of us knows this, if we are a fully developed human.
so what is there to write about, if you already know this, dear reader.

There is. And there must be,
because this is a language we cannot afford to forget, as a race, and as individuals. So all individuals, who as beings only aim for survival, will remember how to love, because the stories and songs are aimed at ensuring the individual's survival and hence the race's. 

Weapons

In my previous post I wrote of the pen as a weapon. In this post I want to write about the use of weapons. When a weapon is used to annihilate someone for any other reason than survival the use of weapon is a crime, in that sense if a country is at war with another the use of weapons is legitimate. However war itself has lost legitimacy in our world and one must thank all the anti war activists writers thinkers and artists for that. However weapons are being used with absolute impunity to crush people to wipe them out in several places in the world. It is being used most against Muslims. I believe a sect of Islam is the most persecuted lot in our time. The world can never be at peace as long as somebody is persecuted and somebody persecuting. If at some point we may have believed that democracy is a way to ensure that nobody is persecuted anymore today we must acknowledge that it was not true. What democracy has done is it has given the majority to persecute the minority with absolute impunity. There is no one human being you can place the blame on, all are involved and all get away. 

Importance of the pen

Slowly slowly one learns new things. All through life you must have one thing with you, the willingness to learn, if you lose that at any point there is danger to you, as we are beings born after the great Charles Darwin, we cannot deny that evolution is what we are, being animals who understand concepts and convey it to each other in whichever we can, we just do the things we do best, in my case it is writing, and hence before even attempting to write I must exhort my art, and hence, this post on the importance of the pen as the only weapon I would ever use in my lifetime. Now I read what I have written so far and find many points in it that need elaboration but when you are writing to survive would there be time to elaborate? Shouldn’t you be able to say what you want in as few words as you can? So imagine you have gained so much practice to keep it short and simple that you can not elaborate! Take a deep breath dear writer of this, sit down and have a glass of water. The devil is inside me, I have to purge it first. I do not want to tell stories I do not want to say anything that is short of the most profound.
