No comment/2
Few weeks ago I posted a post on my thoughts on what is happening in the world now. Then, later on I deleted myself because I realized that there were still many missing pieces. Yes, I think that I bandwagon last time. The media do their job the way they always do you know and ... today you wonder what is exactly true on everything they say? really I just do not know anymore. At the end of the day we must always remember the big chapters of History.
I wasn't satisfied with the news so far. I could not see what is it...So I went on to do more reading to understand what is happening exactly behind the curtains and I was shocked. yep, shocked. Some brave journalists are doing the right job but they are shut down. Bringing and sharing facts but you know...For that reason I understand that sometimes be neutral. Do not comment too much o! be neutral and just observe o! Close your mouth shut and observe
Time always reveals everything. You never have the exact information from the media and this is not what they want really. It seems like they fool the people again. It is important to do our research before getting into too much anger and emotion
I think is interesting to see how we the people are taking position so easily nowadays. I understand...I agree politic is a dangerous space, a dangerous place or should I say playground?. I would rather be a simple person unless I have a special calling upon my life.
Huh?? what? ok...
Just watching at this video, I think that nowadays anybody can be a leader. I remember my presentation in my class on what I thought was leadership has nothing to do with...it. I am Confused! Yes I admit that I was shocked. I don't know what I just watched. Seriously the idea of building your way to leadership has nothing to do with it. It seems like it does no longer require much....or am I wrong? Please tell me! Please bring me back a Nelson Mandela. He was not perfect but he built his way to the leader that he became. Bring me back a MLK and the list goes on. Really I don't judge but I do not understand what I just watched. Really? And that;s the guy who is now... ok...Let me close my mouth before I get bad reactions. We are in the world where you just look and you keep your mouth shut/
Like really...So if that guy in heels became president then I can even be running for presidency in my country. why not? And You can do it too! Is it difficult to be a well known leader today? I guess not. Well, in my case, I just need to work on a good program and find a good patriotic team. I just need the love for my country. The only issue would be if my people like me a lot, some deciders will make up stories on my back saying that I am hiding some chemical weapons and they will accuse me of being a dictator and you know what is going to happen (O! by the way you know the story already)
I won't say much here. My hope today is to see a wave of new leaders who will worry more about their people's interest and yes, they can get their share too because that's reality. politicians think about their own interest first but please if they can think about their people's needs, that will be great.
is it too much to ask?
we are living in a hypocritical world. They want you to be divided, to hate each others. And They are not even perfect but they impose the rules. At the end of the day we are humans. remember. We are Humans. Tonight I feel like A Stranger in Moscow.
little did I know that song would resonate in my head again after many years. I like the song but the last time I played it was many times ago. It was in the difficult times of my life. The winter season was so boring, grey and kind of moody. Early morning I was going to work. In the metro, seeing people sitting or on their feet reading the newspapers. They barely be talking and interacting with each other as if they were stressed like me to start the day. Some pretending that everything was fine. So I would play Stranger in Moscow in my earphones. My view of the snowflakes falling in town through the windows would help me to escape with the song. And by the way Moscow is a beautiful city. If you are somewhere and it is raining like strong rain or snowflakes falling, play Stranger in Moscow...You will understand what I mean. How I felt like listening to it that way
The They who decide. I mean, the Deciders.l guess God's will is not important to Them. we are in a hypocritical world. The They make u hate someone and make you like someone. this world isn't for us Christians. Not at all.
I read they decided to sanction the people because of their leaders. Why do the people have to pay for their leaders' decisions? Why the people have to pay for the collateral damage? So let's say if you are an athlete of that country you have been practicing training for the Olympics or for world cup for years I mean international competition and you find youself being sanctioned. Meaning you are banned. They cannot go competing anymore. Does it make any sense? if for instance you are an artist , your art is cancelled all over the world.
is it democratic to sanction a people over the political situation? Over political nonsense? I don't know if the people is responsible of the decisions that the leader make? Can we leave the people out of it?
I remember one day I was in a taxi going to the international airport. I had a flight to catch. The taxi driver was talking to me he was nice. Then later in our conversation, I found out that he was from Zambia. Then he asked me where I was from? I told him from Gabon. He got upset. He started talking about the huge tragedy that happened to the Zambian national soccer team, many years ago in my hometown. I barely remember that. I was very young I just remember the big headlines on that written in our local newspaper and the picture of the crash. Yes it was traumatic. I remember my father reading the newspaper taking his breakfast and talking about it. Words like "That Man is evil!"
Who was the Man? (according to you) I leave it here because I can't write too much on such things in my blog. I am supposed to entertain lol! Yes, just know that the Man orchestrated the plane crash. He was looking for one of his...you know ... (it is a long story but it was about money and power) . The fugitive was not in the plane he escaped. He did not take that flight unfortunately the Zambian soccer team did. The plane did not even leave the borders...As it was flying, it crashed right on the coast, I mean not too far from the airport. No survivors. Big tragedy! the guy was supposed to die in that crash but he knew how the Boss worked. Is it us the people who did it to Zambia? No.
But wherever I go as a Gabonese, Zambians remind me of that story. Should I pay for the decision of the Man (the Boss)? I was not there when he decided to do it. I do not even know if they know the real story behind that plane crash which marked us on both sides. ****
The western world many times told us (people of the third world) that they represent the ideology of Human Rights...I dont understand what's going on anymore. I am really confused.
I mean...there's a lot I wanted to share here tonight but I guess I should close my mouth. There is no more freedom of speech anyway. Maybe this post will be cancelled in few days. Who knows? Please God protect us.
I am lost I guess. I really feel like a Stranger in Moscow in this world. That black and white background in the video. The white and black world and people walking in slow motion. That song was just a song to me but now it has a different meaning. I always wondered why MJ specifically chose that city? I see that song differently tonight. As I watch it, I see like people feeling depressed, confined, unhapy. In search for freedom, peace... For example, I lost the excitment of traveling. You Leaders you made our world difficult. You confined us. You forced us to wear masks. You forced us to get vaccine (I didn't get vaccine btw. I am not sure about it yet...Still thinking.)
You created wars:
War between the masked and the unmasked people.
War between the people vaccinated and those who are not vaccinated.
War between the rich and the poor.
War between Black and White or other races.
War on religions
War between men and women. (where are those feminists when this world is doing nonsense to women?)
War on ideology.
war between political views.
War between ...and war between and the list goes on.
I don't know anymore. I am quietly observing what is happening in the world.
There is no more excitment. everyday you see bad news they enjoy our fear. God doesn't work with fear. I repeat: God does not work with fear. This is something else.
Jesus said you should know the truth and the truth will set you free. one of the greatest verses that I like in the Bible.
I feel like we need that refreshing rain too. I didn't know that song would have another meaning in my head.
again like I said, I am just a simple person trying to think. Thinking is a part of any human. So I think...
only one thing in my head remains tonight: Praying for the Christians in Ukraine and Russia. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, may God protect you in this time of trouble. May He assist you with his archangels and angels. Politicians have their way of thinking . They have their way to do things. We on the other hand must remain in the Word of God (the Bible) Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. May His words do not depart from our mouth. we say, we live, we breathe His Words. I agree we are not perfect but He died for us on the cross for our imperfections. *** .
The Bible says to pray for our leaders so they will make wise decisions. Let's pray for them. May God give them Wisdom. People do not make war, we need to love each other
As for me I am done talking about it. If Blogger cancel my post tonight like they did with the two others, it is ok. I will understand what it means. Here is the song. I love it so much. That man was truly a genius in music. Please if you understand what the man says at the end of the song, translate that to me.
Thank you for reading and I say see you next time for a new type of posts.
