Who am I ?
July 11, 2017 at 11:09 am
The Arabian countries of Sykes-Picot are trash. Literally.
I no longer consider myself one of them; nor do I consider the nationality I hold to be truly mine.
I declare my utter independence from it; as long as from them.
My services, my hands, my work and my destiny is not with them.
I don't serve them; neither does my loyalty falls with them.
You can consider me an odd ball.
OMG... The things I saw.. How would I ever get over it? how would I ever forget?
I won't forgive; I will always though seek to change what I myself endured. The racism, the fear, the stupid name calling, the stupidity of the stupid.
Nothing is worse than ignorance. Nothing is worse then an ignorant human being; trying to justify ignorance.
You can see it in the faces of racists who never read a word of history about how their countries came to be. You can sense it in the blind following of religious doctrines; following a tailored Messiah just because of his family name.
Whenever the cycle is broken; torture is the answer to keep the masses in check. It's easy to guide a herd by beating it with the stick; cutting food supplies from it to keep it obeying.
I'm not "Arab". I'm "Human".
My color, shape and features should only be used to "recognize me" from a crowd; not to "categorize me" like a product. I'm not a "sheep" or a "product" that has a brand called "Arab".
I'm human.
The dawn of racism would soon be over.

Must suck to be from a country you can't, in good conscience, claim. Similarly, it must suck to be from a religious tradition that;s been actively making that place shittier...so much so that you feel compelled to lay the blame for the current state of things on that one moment in time...when it's clear to anyone at all that had there never been such fuckery the middle east would still be a shithole, today.
Meanwhile, I'm over here wavin flags and shoutin murica! Ever considered emigrating? I think you'd like it here.

Atlas, would you like to live in a country where religion rules?... your religion...
Or a secular country where religion is a personal thing, like sexual orientation or the number of kids you want to have?

It does suck; and hurts a lot too if you think about it. It's more of a role you must act, an identity that doesn't fit, so you stay at this unrest all the time. You are judged by a role you were born into, carrying loads of weight that you never gained or even contributed to its gain.
That's how Sunnies and Shiites are coming to be: it's a matter of inheritance. If the family carries the religious affiliation, children carry it, and so the wheel keeps turning. Just like the nationality. The most fragile combination you might ever see; and when it's broken chaos invade the scene, producing that shitty world you see in the news.
Migration seems like a decent way out of this hell. But humans are not pretty nice; Multiple Sclerosis tops any considerations of leaving; they need healthy people to work; not sick ones that might infect the economy, forcing it to spend more on their wellbeing.

I would consider my religion to be leaving personal matters to people; things like belief and sexual orientation.
Forcing people to do something they don't want to; just doesn't fit my beliefs.
Secular systems are the closest to my beliefs. Attacking the personal beliefs of others is one thing the secular world avoided. And it's a good, good thing.
