Expression on History reading. Wednesday, July 11, 2001

I read about Peter of Russia from Fisher. What is written on him? It was a story of a man who did not have virtue. He had the courage. He lived to kill.


What actually is recorded in history? it is always similar type of records. They are the records of the men who had invaded, oppressed killed and ravaged. They are admired even for their inhuman acts. They are shown to have brought civilization towards perfection.


What is happening even today? There are rich and poor people. There are oppressed and oppressors. The system of government virtually suffocates. It is not for the benefit of the man. It is just providing a situation in which you can live for the next day. If you want to achieve something you should be oppressive, scheming and lucky. If you are not lucky then you just cry because of the pain. Riots take place. People are killed. A man with money ride over you. People try to acquire power not because they have divine origin but it is useful to be in power. The human beings keep on living under the mirage of living a better tomorrow. The saints fool you. They say that god is there so be nice.
