Might is right!

I should stop doubting that!

Nowadays I am being annoyed by the events that have absolutely no connection to me, even remotely. The more I read about these events, the more restless I become. Is hypocrisy so darling? I was happy when he was elected US president but then now I wonder what could have been worst if another guy had won the election. [Note that I don't have any voting rights for US nor I would get/lose any benefits or whatsoever in either scenario.] 

When my rational mind has free time to wonder, I am seeking answers to questions:
·         How can any state bypass it's own values and advocacy for transparency by eavesdropping it's own citizens? And when these are exposed, how can any state, claiming to be a guardian of democracy and freedom of expression, try to brutally supress exposure of it's wrongdoings in the name of national security? Look what's happening to us, look what happened to Snowden.
·         Is blood of Baharainian less worthy than of Libyans or Egyptians? Are their cries for freedom less important than those of other Arabs? Then why this difference? Isn't the value of freedom, democracy and equality same everywhere regardless of own interest and oils?
·         You do not give right to women even for going out alone just because they are women and you talk about supporting uprisings for democracy and freedom?
·         Who is guiltier? Manning or those exposed killing innocent Iraqis or Vietnamese or Libyans or Palestinians? If you prosecute someone for exposing wrongdoings then why not those who initiate false pretext to invade other countries initiating killings in the name of freedom and equality?
·         How can you talk about moral superiority, values and justification when you yourself helped gassing of thousands of Iranians or Vietnamese and none are ever prosecuted for that?

I am not wondering about the actions of Americans only. The list goes on; British, French, Spanish, Qataris, Saudis, Indian, Chinese…………

Do we have to be chameleon to succeed even in everyday real life of common men? Otherwise
·         How can a new billionaire talks about duty to build nation when he himself evades tax and worst of it, tries to benefit from various loopholes?
·         How can you demand right to cheat customers, adulterate food and water, immunity for wrong doing?
·         And still talk of rule of law!

Yes, hypocrisy!!!

And this happens when you have might. Rest will fall exactly where you want them to.

why don't i post regularly?

Once upon a time, a dog showed up. He thought it was cute but i wasn't ready to buy that. 'I don't want to have a dog', i said. He listened and told me to make decision. I did! And now there is 'the' conflict because that was not what he expected.

Was dog just symbol of what coming up next? Do i think of not having shared responsibility as he suggested? Too many questions but sometimes answers are the elusive ones.

When you are sad, you have plenty to rant about but then sometimes you don't.

Answers lies in question!

P.S. I hope the dog survived the night! I really do.
