A dogma and a dream
A dogma and a dream
A friend of mine has sent me a link to a video that made me feel sad. Although, I believe, I was already born to be sad. But this video added to my sadness something I try to avoid, anger!:
I will let you see the clip hoping that you will come back to me and hear what I have to say about the clip. I am drunk now! All those who know me know that I can be rarely found sober:
Okay promising minds, I will give you the permission to invade my mind
For 5 minutes provided that you grant me a second of your life so that I may make a whisper.
Here is the link I received together with my comment concluded by a dreaming whisper:

This video clip actually provides a live definition of the concept of DOGMA. Dogma means when one looks at his/her beliefs as absolute facts above the tools of rational analysis (you may find other definitions of Dogma in the dictionaries but this is mine, anyway). Look at the lady who preferred to hide herself how she was talking to the lady who preferred to show herself. She (the woman under the mask) said to the woman with no mask: you will go to hill (dogmatic thinking)… then said: why do you dress like that? Whom are you trying to seduce (dogmatic thinking)?
I wonder, now, why the woman under the mask didn't think in a better way and before she throw the question thought the lady with no mask dresses this way simply because this is the way ladies dress in her society. And if we assume that the lady with no mask wanted to seduce someone, what is that got to do with the lady under the mask? Isn't this beyond the Da'aoah scope?
I tell you the truth. I have been involved with such religious groups (Jamat Al Tableeg) In the past. When I saw how they look at people of different faith or thoughts, I realized I was hanging with the wrong group. One day, they gave me the chance to deliver a speech in a Mosque. I gave them a piece of my mind. And left. I didn't have time to see how they reacted to what I said. I just run away. That was in 1974.
Now, how do I feel?
Frankly, I feel happy with my self now and what I am doing.
At least, I feel in harmony with people, life and nature. What more do I want in this life? what more do I want? It's just a miss friend. It's just a miss.
================
Yet, I still have a dream that we all will get together, understand each other, work together for the best of us all, together.
===================
Okay, I borrowed some of Martin Luther King Words (and may be, I stole a little tiny fraction of his mind before he goes back to Mother Nature), but I try to employ them (his words and meanings) now in a wider scope. I'm sure I will fail but I feel I must try.
======================
Barden me. I'm just a dreaming drunk man. Barden me.
I spent my life trying to teach people. yet people keep running a way from me! what is wrong with me?
