the magic weapon fear

If you own something, you might loose it. And if you need something, it might happen that you don’t get it. If you want to live, it might happen, that you die. If you want to be respected, you might find yourself in the position of the clown. All these things might happen, but normally they do not happen. Everything is in our head. We fear. We are afraid of.

To be afraid is something, we cannot stand for a longer term. One of the basic needs is maybe safety. Perceived safety. So we need a solution. Stricter laws, a might behind everything, a reason, a final solution.

Make people fear something and they will almost do everything. A positive side effect is, that these people won’t use their brain because it is switched of in a state of emergency.

But behind us, there are some people which use their brains in a very smart way. And sometimes these people use fear as a weapon to achieve something. And the tool fear is transported with, are rumors. And rumors spread like explosion, a nasty virus which affects our brains and our souls. The virus always affects a huge amount of people and therefore it is that difficult to kill it. Discipline and strict brain use might help. Education alone won’t help as the worldwide use of the weapon fear shows.

religion… is just the tool…

Once again everything is focusing on downtown Cairo. The other areas of Cairo are quiet so far. And at the moment I do not think that the incidents this night will cause any sectarian strife. Many rumors are flooding the streets and at the moment nobody can say who started the fight. Each involved party blames the other and the government blames a mysterious “third party” without defining it.

In the end it will support the military to extend the state of emergency and to keep the power. And most western states as well as Israel will support this supposingly because it might also help to stabilize the region; In a shortterm thinking construct. And we have to keep in mind that Mubarak also was from the military and that he guaranteed peace with Israel. Free and open elections could bring a government, which maybe could cancel all peace treatys with Israel. And this is something, many states are afraid of. Also democracy has to stick to the rules of the big game.
