An Equal Society

I think I have mentioned in the past about me writing a book. It's been quite pressing to tell the truth. I've completed about half of it, though I fear that it might be a bit over my head. I'm not too sure, but I guess things only get as big as we are capable of dealing with them. Right? Well at least i'm going to tell myself that. I feel that it saves me the down point at the end of it all.


I feel like i've come up to an important point in the book lately. I've also noticed that there is a lack of strong make characters. I'm not sure what that is all about, but it works for me. Writing a book about civil disturbances as well as political and racial prejudices is something of our time. The world is absolutely running down to the pits. I'm not sure if the world leaders realize that without the masses, which are (sadly) the poor, all economy stops. There is no one to build the buildings, or to clean the streets and operate the elevators. Though the rich continue to live by their blood. I fear that this part of the society which is pained by disease and a lack of access to medical aid, are slowly dying out.

When will a purely socialistic society take hold of the world and make all rights and freedoms truly equal?

My Passions Not Lost

As you have noticed the picture to the left is not your typical Christian picture. In fact, I have always found it quite difficult to look to the typical Christian imagery of Biblical figures. I for one find that the Orthodox especially, the Ethiopian Orthodox way, tends to fit more with how I like to see them depicted. There is a certain trueness to them, they do not lack life. Nevertheless, this is not why I am writing this entry.

Today (tonight), I watched "The Passion of The Christ". Initially we were not going to watch it - we being my sister and myself, though it captivated me in such a way that I thought it was probably good to watch it. I find that there are times at people's lives when it is just the right time to watch something, at other times it almost as if someone has forced them or convinced them to watch something and then they are thankful to have watched it. I honestly believe that things happen in this world for a reason. I am not sure about the legitimacy of Christ's words, however, I still believe that at that point in time it was necessary to bring a certain humbleness to the people. So many were becoming arrogant and quite bold, questioning the things around them. It was, like it has happened so many times over, a time of discovery.

For me, lately, it has been a time for discovery with my book and all. I am not sure as to where it is going, but I do not know that it is of a larger magnitude than I can actually fathom. I can see the end point some days and at others I feel as if I am further and further away from any possibility of a finished product. I guess what I'm actually trying to say, is that there are so many times when things can seem confusing in a person's life and even though they feel as if they are going down a logical path, the path can for many times become brushed over and all the directions wiped away. - It is more of a trick I think the mind plays on us, when we do not wish to see the truth and when we do not wish to see the falsities of the world.

The Passion depicted in the film or the Bible, is certainly a path of tribulations and where we find the will within ourselves to stand up for what we believe and walk the paths not yet walked. Not all of us are leaders, but for myself, regardless of the diminishment and belittling come unto to me by this cruel and jealous world, I will prevail. I will come out on top. My outcome is completion, and with that I find the happy. It is a faith within and of myself that I know I will succeed.

a rabbit hole of possibilities

It is absolutely interesting the different things that happens in ones life. It it a changing factor you know. In fact, I have always said that one is never too old to learn new things within the world. I was supposed to go to Japan if you remember from my last post, however, I changed my mind and now I have been accepted to Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. I am quite happy about this and I look forward to doing education there. However, this is not the point of my blog this evening. In fact, it entails me somewhat praising myself at the efforts that I have put into writing my book. It has been a task that not many have listened to me about and in fact the bits and pieces that I have read for some they usually respond, saying, "it certainly makes you want to read more." I have been wondering if in fact they will want to read more once they have moved over the first few pages of the manuscript. I know it is certainly not of the quality of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R Tolkien, nor L. Ron Hubbard. I do not even have an awesome name like so many of the great writers did. I mean I could make it I.M.S. W***t, but mostly that looks something more of a medical emergency than anything else.

This past month I spent my time on the East Coast of Canada and I spoke to many friends who seem wo be embarking on such new an interesting aspects of their lives. However, I keep telling myself that in fact my life is quite interesting and eventful, but in a different light. I guess it is never easy to see the glitz and glamour of ones own life, especially when one is living it at the moment of contemplation.

However, I have been diving a bit into Astrophysics and the like of Philosophy and Astronomy. I have been finding them quite interesting though I fear the mathematics involved in the beginning. I imagine it nevertheless, being along those lines my third degree in a line of many to come, well not exactly, since after this degree at SFU, I will be focusing on getting my Master in English and then after a diploma in Graphic Design and then most likely a PhD in English studies, not exactly sure yet, but I can see it for sure. It feels great knowing that the clouds are not blocking my view anymore and the world is slowly but surely making sense. In the film "What the Bleep" it focuses a lot at the end on the amount of knowledge one has, the more possibilities one is willing to accept. Though I am feeling, more and more, that the more knowledge I acquire the more possibilities I notice, but also am willing to organize them. The world is an interesting place and one never knows what is at the end of the rabbit hole, but you always know that they only way out is up, it all just depends on when one is willing to make that climb. This entry is more emotional than political or critical of worldly things, however, sometimes it is important to put one self out there and see what the cosmos hold.
