Well i wonder whether i should put Osama, i saw him yesterday in the title to get a little attention, however, i probably would only get the wrong kind of attention. In a world where we argue about the Western or Asian model then people ponder the imposition of values from one culture or another we forget the basic tenants of life.
It is a fact that Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia have effectively been joined for the millennium and have alternated leadership throughout that period. We are more similar than we are dissimilar and the main characteristic that has always joined us and and always pushed us forward is the accumulation of wealth. The problems in Afghanistan arise not through a difference in models but the inability to provide them with the wealth they so crave. We give them freedom without the wealth they so desire.
So that is the problem in the modern world wealth can only be delivered to a limited few and the rest, well the rest they turn to whatever they feel may provide some form of salvation and frequently that can be devastating. So man my ape, my humanity the sun rises, the birds rise, the armies march they always have the politicians scheme they negotiate people lose their values, yet, yet life is simple give me wealth the people scream, and if you don't you will fall. Yet the people they breed ever more the politicians they run, they scamper faster we all run but we can't deliver the wealth to the people.
So as i ponder as i placate my daily needs and requirements, as i listen to the over educated masses who seem to forget the basics requirements of life, those that read philosophy avoiding what is visible in front of them.
Man oh so simple, the naked ape.
