An Instance of Clarity

or,

"How I learned to leave everything I once loved behind and be alright with that. But upon seeing the bleak future of such a life, came back and reclaimed all that I love with a fierceness protected by righteous hellfire. Well, until the next time the shining, flaming shit of the world seemingly goes up with smoke."

Another round of reformatting Ron K. 7.5X. - This time, in better shape and with an all-intact memory... haunting me right now.

This is also like a...

bizarre personal video game where I get to time travel into my past to unravel past mysteries, solve them, prove they actually happened by calling people from that past to see if they are actually real.

Turns out, so far, they are.

But here's the crux of my thinking. I have more to add, but I want it to sound as cool as possible to let you know what kind of cool thoughts I have been thinking.

History is just a name we give something that happened in the linear past. Yet, history is all around us. Everyday we base decisions on past experiences and so from personal experience on a one to one basis we can apply these small interactions to bigger ones in history.

The same concept can be applied to big events in history and are reflected in our leaders decisions today. Hitler would have never gone through with the extermination of the Jews the way he did, if the Armenians hadn't gone through the theirs. So the logic of the holocaust is reaffirmed because the world did not care about the genocide of the Armenians, then therefore, no one would care about the systematic extermination of Jewish people. G.C.E. Please Skip ahead for a cogent explanation of my clarity for an instance.


[Digression - Hitler also used American Corporate slogans to gain a nationalistic foothold in Germany. Remember, before he was devil incarnate, he was a bureaucratically bent back fighter that 'won' his leadership through having a brute force that was too intimidating too a fragile post war World War 1 psyche, left criminally fragile by the victors of World War 1. But I regress...]


Back to the point - And, in this case, history broke this seemingly short cycle by being horrified by what the Nazis did. Thus breaking the cycle, albeit, once. Genocide has reappeared a few more times, especially in Africa. With half assed attempts by the world and way too late apologies. But at least, as well, they were acknowledged.

The world will get better little by little. Revolution, whether peaceful or violent or anything in between, is a violent action. And violent actions will always beget violent actions further down the road. Better for slow reform, heading in the right direction, then a rip through social fabric.

Having said that, Revolutions are absolutely necessary. People just have to do them right. Be prepared for the outcome, the outfall, and remember, to kill any dissidence early on in the revolution. Revolutions are not democratic. It's do or die. So, if you are not doing, then you should be dead or completely neutralized.

So basically, sometimes leaders do ugly things or out of character things for the greater goal of a slightly better world the next time around. Leaving many puzzled historians wondering why China conquered Tibet, while at the same time warning the Dali Lama to leave Tibet before they 'conquered' it.

Mountains, I guess. Good protection from invaders. What do you think?
