learning to pick myself up and move on..

yet another bomb..yet another rocket..yet another bloodshed after bloodshed...
more than 150,000 thousand lives claimed after invasion of Iraq(Mostly killed are Iraqis)...19 Lives claimed just yesterday after a so called 'peace talk'..for 'Peace'..in Gaza...

suddenly i feel the clouds have been lifted..i see clearly what is happening in this world..but why cant others see it too?am i asking too much?or am i just plainly irrasional?

i told my politics class the other say i cannot comprehend how ANY human being 3 days after seeing the devastation the first nuclear bomb in hiroshima brought,could have the heart to call for a second bomb in Nagasaki...clearly...one with no heart at all...

when i threw this question to the class all sorts of questions came back at my face. me ,being a hopeless idealist was taken aback for a while..no one..not a single out of 20 people in my class felt the same as I did...why?

reason 1: if the japanese were left alone their atrocities wouldve been worst..
reason 2: they have done much atrocities anyway...
e t c
but surely..surely there is a more humane way?

afterall Isnt a human being suppose to feel and see when something that is being done is inhumane?

...unless...they have other reasons to not see...other reasons to not hear the cries...feel the pain

think....

Palestine is an open air prison...every single day..you dont have to be a Muslim to see this you just have to be a HUMAN...

have you heard of bosnia? kosovo..

The fall of the town of Srebrenica to Bosnian Serb forces and the subsequent murder of up to 8,000 Bosnian Muslims - the most serious war crime in Europe since World War II. Ten years after the horrible events of Srebrenica and nearly ten years after the Dayton agreement ended the war many of the scars caused by the bloodshed have not yet healed. This is particularly true for the families of more than 14,500 persons reported missing throughout Bosnia-Herzegovina – including 5,500 missing persons from Srebrenica – still waiting for evidence of what exactly happened to their relatives.The fact that the missing are almost certainly dead takes nothing away from the suffering their families are experiencing every day. Not knowing what happened to a husband, father or brother (almost all the missing persons are men), not being able to give them a dignified burial, to mourn their passing at a gravesite, continues to place an intolerable burden on these families. They need to be given the possibility to gain closure on the tragedies of the past and to be able to move on with their lives. Moreover, for a country like Bosnia-Herzegovina, trying to overcome the divisions of the past, progress on the resolution of the fate of missing persons will help to improve and stabilize relations between different communities.
If we turn our attention towards humanitarian aids on the basis of protecting Human Rights the UN has had difficult dilemmas. Interventions made in order to safe civilians human rights against tyrant rules have shown varied results depending on different factors. Some classified the intervention in East Timor and Sierra Leone as a success. However what happened in Bosnia was and still is a major humanitarian catastrophe and disaster. In 1993, the UNPROFOR in Bosnia created safe areas for Muslims in Bosnia as protection from Serb forces. But thousands of men and boys who have traveled there to gain UN protection ended being murdered. For the families of the more than 14,500 persons reported missing throughout Bosnia-Herzegovina and 5,500 missing persons from Srebrenica the pain is just indescribable. The UN in trying to alleviate suffering has instead contributed to it. An attempt to provide protection and security to threatened minorities where they lived proved fatal in a situation of ethnic cleansing(5).
However this blame is not for the UN to shoulder itself, it is for the whole world in fact the whole of humanity. The reason given for being divided in its action, the UN reported, that it had not enough ground troops or military advancement to intervene in Bosnia. Even China and Russia within UN Security Council was still upholding sovereignty and was against interventions (BROWN). Who is then responsible in deciding what is right or wrong at this point? The anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre obliges the international community, including humanitarian organizations, to re-examine critically its role at the time and now…

blind verses..

how sad
when people have eyes yet they do not see
when people have ears yet the act deaf
how pathetic
when people have hands but none to lend
how ungrateful
when people have legs
yet they walk the wrong path
we have everything
yet we do nothing
and we wind and mourn
of the things we lack..
we think we've walked miles when we have only crawled a few steps
we think we deserve gold,
just because of a few sweats
mere rethorics all these are..
has anyone the answers im looking for?

'stuck'

its been quite a while since i wrote..well mostly because i was away from home..and it isnt really as easy to access a computer with availability to blog at taylor's..:Pbut honestly ,there is another reason that have been keeping me from writing...bloggers block!:Pwell yea..its true..ive heard of writers block...and now..its my turn to eperience a more lethal form of that sort...
not just blog...lately i feel im 'stuck' at many things...and i have to depeng solely on my mood swings to do things...and we all know what happens then...
there is also another reason as to why i havent posted any entry...i realise there is much i have to offer the readers of my blog(hehe if they are any)..i dont want my blogs to be empty and vague..but at the same time..i never want to write especially for people to read...(the is a saying that goes,*a good writer write to understand and not in order to be understood*,err hope i didnt get that wrong.As i write i want to explore things,happenings around me..to put things together so they make sense and not just pass me by without any meaning..and not just present what happen in written form...but then again it takes a good writer..;)there is always time for improvement..inshaAllah...
