I think we all know what is happening, even if it on a subconscious level! It is change my friend! Big change, and the bigger that change is, the harder it gets before it happens, kinda like giving birth, hard, very painful and chaotic, but at the end, a new entity is born, comes to light after months in the dark, a beautiful magical thing, new life, and that is what is happening! I'm gonna say this, and this is probably the first time I ever write it in public, but be it. All human beings, not just Arabs, are the same, share the same human nature, given that they do on different levels, but the core is the same, they are human, and humans, by nature resist change, even if their present existence is not ideal by any means, and they tend to keep going, as long as basic necessities are secured, food, shelter, means to buy things,...etc, and they, by nature, would resist anything that would pose a risk to that stability, but what makes them do? Stress, resulting from threat to that stability. What is happening now a days, and I'm going to speak relevant to the Arabs, is a necessary evil to bring on change, otherwise another 100 years will pass by and we will keep deteriorating like we have been for so long. What is happening is a must, it is God's way of bringing change and punishment for ultimately the better good for all of us, in short, what is happening to us is necessary for us to change and achieve what we should have achieved a long time ago. History teaches us great lessons, it always repeats itself. all along history, and especially in modern history, what brought on change? It wasn't ideology or religion like most would say, no, its suffering and great stress. For example, what brought Fascism to Europe at the turn of the last century? Fascism as an ideology has been around for so long before that, but it was the great suffering people in Europe had especially after World War I, the conditions were right for it, and it was the same with Communism in Russia, communist ideology had been around for a least 60 or 70 years prior to that, but again, after WW I, conditions were right, people in Russia were under great stress, so they listened, changed and moved towards change. Also the case later with Zionism, to which we as Arabs and Muslims are the closest to in our current conditions believe it or not! Before World War II and the Holocaust, the Jews were divided between two main factions, I call them right wing, ultra-religious and left wing, Zionists. Both were opposite and fought each other for more control of the Jews (also Zionism had been around, as an ideology for many years prior), just like us Arabs now a days, right wing ultra-religious (whom have been gaining more ground in the last few decades) and left-wing ultra Arab-nationalists (although in our case there are no fundamental conflicts between both, unlike the Jews), both sides fighting for more control among the Arabs, and what happened to the Jews? After the Holocaust with all the stress and pressure it brought on their way of life and day to day survival, then and only then they realized in order for them to overcome it and prevent it from happening again they have to somehow put their differences aside and unite, and the rest is history, look were they are now! And with almost no resources of their own! What happened to them is happening to us now a days, and this is just the beginning, things will get much worse but ultimately it is what we need, and it is Gods way of bringing on change, it is, in a way, divine! Be prepared, things will get much worse and much in a much faster passe than we would have thought, but it is a must, I'm going to use my own motto, "It is better for 99 to die and 1 to live free than all 100 living the way they have been" plain and simple, or at least that is what I think is happening and will happen. Believe me my friend, I've been saying this for years, I know change will come, and I know what is needed for it to happen, it ain't pretty, but it will happen, I never knew how exactly or when, all I knew was that it will happen, it is the natural progress of things for us, and that it will be hard, painful to witness but I was also surprised by how fast things happened and are happening! I thought it would be at a much slower passe than this, but I guess somethings are better quick, especially when they are hard and painful, kind of like taking a shot, it is God's mercy on us, in a way! Good news is that something good will come out of it, the bigger the changes, the bigger the price that has to be paid for it, and from the look of things, it is going to be massive, the biggest in modern history I believe.
I can go on and on about why it is happening, how, what we need and what exactly will come out if it all, I hope I didn't bore you with the long answer, but you asked the question lol! So what do you think? What's your take on it?
