The lesser of two evils...

... is still evil. (Some guy on Youtube)

(The former title for this post was The Namesake, but after more information and contemplation, it wasn't the right one.)

Hussein has won... the US Presidential election. Now what?

I am sure damned GLAD McCain didn't win. Even though I can't bring myself to trust any person in the position of head of state.

Alhamdulillah wa astakheerullah.

Allah, he has the name of your beloved. Let him follow the footsteps of your beloved. Not all American politicians are bad, are they? Well, just admit he is the lesser of the two evils. That's all that I am willing to give him. The lesser of two evils. Compared to Yazid and Muawiya, he is Muawiya. Nice analogy. But was Yazid more dangerous than Muawiya or was Muawiya more sly? I forget. OK, maybe I need to come up with a better analogy.

So, being named Baraka or Hussein means nothing. How many people there are named Abdullah or Mohammad or Ali or Mahdi have caused such chaos in the world, whereas certain people called Muawiya (the 2nd) and Uthman (Imam Mahdi's second (or fourth?) representative) have done great services to the Ahlul Bayt?

What's in a name? Means nothing. So forget that stupid prattling of "he has the name of your beloved" - hmph. He's a bloody politician. End of story. Not to be trusted. Is going to bomb Pakistan and supports Israel fully. Is also an atheist.

By observing the UK, the completely ignored Canadian and the overblown US elections, I have come to a decision. I will never vote in my life. Having the so-called 'right' to vote doesn't mean I have to exercise the right.

It's a hypocrisy. This democracy thing is taken from the ancient Greeks. Pagans who refused to believe in a God. Why on Earth would I want to take part in something like that? Even though I've heard that Muslims should vote blah blah, I hate all the candidates. Who are they? Labour, Conservative, Lib Dems and the Respect party. None of them are worth leading me or making policies for me. It's "making the best of bad government"? Nah, you can't get me on that, either.

And the one person who is worthy, will never be elected. He is chosen from Allah and is biding his time. I mean, if I was Iranian, maybe I'd vote. Because, as far as I can tell, Khamenei was not voted in, he was selected by other Hujjatul Islam, right? And Ahmedinejad is humble enough to wear normal clothes and drive a normal car and at least, I think he may consider himself as caretaker rather than in absolute control. Though I know jack about Irani politics.

Well, since I'm not Persian, ça n'arrivera jamais.

Here is a non-voter, anarchist and proud of it!

Another correction about politicians. They are all the bloody same. I don't care if they are Shia and are Persian. They are all the same. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even extremely diluted power has the means of corrupting absolutely.

BAH!

The parents

Your Type Four EnneaThought for January 13th— Reflect on your childhood today. As a child, did you believe you were not like your parents? Did you feel that you were not "seen" by your parents and that you did not connect sufficiently with your parents? As an adult, what does this have to do with you now? (The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 182) As I've said myriad times before, these things just slap me in the face with a wet fish most days. I suppose it makes sense that I should send Reiki healing to my relationships with my father and my mother. Haven't really done that for ages. It's too hard sometimes, I choose to ignore and avoid dealing with them mainly because these are the two people I've been connected with since birth. A lot of effort is required in order to 'let things slide'. Living with my dad is hell, and I'm co-creating it on purpose, as part of my desire to annoy, to hurt him the way he hurts me. My mum, well, I guess we'...

Je dois écrire

Je dois écrire . L'ironie est que quand j'avais le temps, je na'i pu pas fair rien . Doesn't matter, I have to write. I keep listening to poets like Keane and Travis and Darren Hayes and I'm here, with the creativity finally bursting forth again, and what's more, the joie de vivre bursting through and I'm not writing and I'm not taking pictures and I'm doing bloody cashier work at Oxfam. I am a swan, I am a seagull that glides and glides. I am the tree, the squirrel. Words are all I have to make myself different from you lot. To make myself lighter, somewhat more worthy. How low is my self esteem that I still believe those falsehoods. I just cannot find people on my wave length. It means I never shall. Or I do and because of my skin colour or because I am behind the Oxfam counter, or because I am in Morden, or London, or the UK, I shall never know. An opera singer. A person who wants to wear kurtis but is scared of going into a desi shop i...

Judgement

Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - (20) Judgment Introduction: Judgment can be a card about jumping to conclusions, decisions and judgments. which are too hastily made. If you are prone to such things, this is a clear signal to slow down and give things more thought and to give people "more chances." This can be a real time of spiritual awakening.           General: In general, if you are the one tending to jump to conclusions, you can put a stop to it. If others are making these kinds of decisions about you or about someone you care for, there is really very little you can do, apart from realizing that it's their problem, not yours. Health: This is an important time to let go of the past and any wrongs that you perceive were done to you, particularly if you are dealing with chronic medical issues. Letting go of your need to be right will go a long way toward helping you to feel better. Besides, if ...
