Ethiopia, what a mess! February 27, 2007

We Ethiopians in search for a better tomorrow, in search of economic and political emancipation, have almost tried everything. We have begged, entertained, intermarried and most of all revolted, but still nothing seems to work in this sordid continent; yet again our laughable compliance to the survival instinct animates us still. I am sure someday we the divided, downtrodden and alienated Ethiopians will find our way to the Promised Land of social security.
Injustice takes many different forms in this chaotic world! Despite the fact that the world is changing injustice some how manages to persist in the background and the problem is that here we are rather aiming at a flying target and we cannot adhere to static models and wage war on anti conceptual herd mentalities at home, science could have solved many of our problems, the problem is that there are no governing laws, theories, or principles that can cover the wide realm of social existence and all it’s eccentricities. Reality is much more mysterious and eludes capture of the mind and we are still a bunch of calculators just like those blind men trying to figure out an elephant by the part of its body they touched!
The Cosmic Bastard!
Good and Evil! February 8, 2007

While they hurried Christ to the cross, the ruler decides that he cannot constitutionally interfere to save him. Even though he knew he was innocent. I guess, I now know what that means. The question is, Is the constitution a thing to live by? Or die by? No, for as long as we live we forget it, and when we die we are done with it. I guess it is only a book to swear by. The judges and the lawyers, and all men of practicality, consider not whether a certain law is right, but whether it is what they call constitutional. They all try a case by very low and incompetent standards. Here we are talking about servants of man, and worst of men, rather than the servants of God. Perhaps that justifies the moral state we all are under. The thing is that we all, right after birth, have registered the world through our body and entered in to an agreement to serve the devil, and that service is not now due. I wonder when mankind is to serve God and obey that eternal and only just constitution that he, and not any human intellect has written. Some were courageous enough to cut the ears of the police when the messiah was surrounded; while others pocketed 30 pieces of silver, and this is meaner than crucifying Christ for he could take care of himself.

“….it takes a lot of things to change the world:
Anger and tenacity. Science and indignation,
The quick initiative, the long reflection,
The cold patience and the infinite perseverance,
The understanding of the particular case
And the understanding of the ensemble:
Only the lessons of reality can teach us to transform reality.”
Bertolt Brecht,Einverstandnis.
