The Drums Of War

 

Russia attack and invasion of Ukraine. Is it a beginning of a new cycle of world war or is it a one off exception?

 

The answer is no one really knows. Regardless the economics of war is complex as it increases spending /borrowing but on the other side the military industry blooms with extra sales and employment. There are losers which include the average tax payer and the poor people who end up as refuges or worse; dead. The other side the military industry and its surrounding economics gets richer and more powerful.

Humans are capable of unimaginable destruction and demise despite that this human beings are more informed and leading such a luxurious life that no human could dream about less than a century ago.  

History repeats itself and we are not smart enough to learn and evolve. What a pity????

History

History is a  great teacher for those who listen. I love reading history and comparing it with current events. What I usually find is that it is very similar to current events with minor differences in names and places. What surprises me is usually if you are in the centre of the circle of events you seldom recognise the cycle and the outcome which is expected "This will not happen to me". Unfortunately it will happen to you as you are only a number in the vast circle of history. This is a reminder for me and you

Closure

We all have a deep desire for closure. Open endings are exhausting and consuming particularly in personal relations. Understanding why this happened and getting a chance to blame someone even if is  yourself.

Finding peace is what you expect but beware it's not always the case as sometimes open ending are far better than  finding closure As sometimes you'll find things you would be much better if you didn't know.

Nothing seems as it seems

Just a quick  observation . Nothing seems like it really is.

Quick trip to Brussels

Brussels the heart of Europe as they call it is a classic European cosmopolitan city. It is not as shiny and neat as london nor magical as paris but you can sense the culture once you walk in its cobbled streets. Obviously if you don't speak french or dutch you'll feel alittle bit awkward but not to worry as most people will be able to speak English. Most of the shops close by 6pm and closed on Sunday. Obviously you will find some restaurants open till late specially around the city centre. You can sense the culture all around; alot of museums,art galleries and cathedrals . The square on another hand is very beautiful specially at night time. You'll be tempted to try the famous Belgium waffles and chocolates which I think are nice but over rated, on the other and Sea food is also quite spectacular.

Living as a stranger

Bright lights, buzzing cars,people rushing every where.  Life can be very hectic and bedazzling. Work everyday, finish exhausted, inpatient to get through to the weekend. Social activities you want to do as seeing friends and family but not having enough time to do everything gives you an inner ache; feeling you should have done more. You do what you can and you keep running and running just to try to keep up but in the end you loss who you are anf feel as if you are a stranger. Look at the mirror; who's that starring at you? You don't recognise yourself. A bitter feeling in your mouth. You swallow it and keep on running. Wait close your eyes for a couple of minutes. Relax and imagine you are at this beautiful  blue sea with white sand. Take a deep breath of this fresh breeze. Open your eyes and continue running.

A woman's heart chris de berg

Very true lyrics

A woman's heart is filled with passion,
A woman's heart is filled with lust,
If you don't believe that these things happen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;
A woman's night is filled with dreaming,
Of the perfect man who may not be you,
If we don't see what she's been missing,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make,
She wants to get near to you,
Don't turn her away,
She wants to get through to you,
She wants to say;
Give me your night,
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry,
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.
A woman's day is filled with longing,
For a little romance and company,
If we don't look or just don't listen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;
A woman's heart is yours forever,
She will be true, to the one in her life,
If we don't give her love and affection,
Could be the biggest mistake, that a man can make.
She wants to get near to you,
Don't turn her away,
She want's to get through to you,
She want's you to say;
Give me your night,
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry....
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.
She wants to get near to you,
Don't turn her away,
She want's to get through to you,
She want's you to say,
Give me your night
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry....
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.
