Where is God?

"Where is god amidst all the fears , disasters , killing and destruction on this earth ?There is no god for humans but the humans themselves. "
He said that after he saw this picture.

It was taken In the year 1993 during the starvation in Southern Sudan , It shows a girl struggling to reach the feeding center , but she stopped for a break, and it also shows vulture waiting for her to die.

Someone asked this question .. "where is god ?" ... he told me the story of this picture ,and that it was taken by a photojournalist named Kevin Carter and he won Pulitzer prize for it. he also told me that Kevin committed a suicide one year later because he couldn't live in peace with himself.

Kevin Carter committed suicide despite of all the fame , the job , the money , apparently all this was not enough.
The job , the fame , the money ,

If you leave a child on the ground while you adjust your camera lens and take the picture , then leave in a chopper , would you feel any joy in your life ? I think I understand why Kevin committed suicide.

What if Kevin threw his camera away and ran to that child , carried her to the feeding center or the chopper ? I bet even if without winning Pulitzer prize and without having any fame , he would live happy till the day he die , He would've never lost hope in good and he would've never committed a suicide.

where is god ? he ask ....

We would question that if there's no food on earth , but God didn't cause the starvation , There is food enough for everyone .... God gave the humans food and all the sources .. and he watched humans starving while other humans are throwing food away...

where is god ? god shows himself in everything good we do for humanity and earth , and of course those who neglect his message will keep wondering where is god .. where did he go ?


watching the world going to chaos by all the destruction , wars , killing and starvation makes me think that the real Question is ... Where are the humans??? where did they go ??

Rachel Corrie - The Girl with Dreams


1979-2003

The American Hero....The Girl with Dreams ....The Princess of Palestine


Rachael Corrie was an American person , but she was not a normal one , she was different , she had dreams. Rachel wanted a better world for everyone , in her Fifth grade speech she said
"I am here for other children , I am here because I care , I am here because children everywhere are suffering and because forty thousand people die each day from hunger , I'm here because those people are mostly children. We've got to understand that the poor all around us and we're ignoring them. We've got to understand that these deaths are preventable , we've got to understand that people in third world countries think , and care , and smile and cry just like us. We've got to understand that they are us , we are them , my dream is to stop hunger by the year 2000 , my dream is to give the poor a chance , my dream is to save the forty thousand people who die each day. My dream can and will come true if if we all look in the future and see the light that shines there."

Rachel Corrie didn't live long enough to see her dreams come true , she was killed by a bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces who tried to demolish Palestinian home , Rachel chose to make a human shield of herself to save innocent humans.

she was an American citizen , living a good life in USA ,she could have continued with her life this way , but she chose not to stand and watch the brutality in our world... she chose to do something... she went to Gaza and joined activists to do something.


just imagine ... someone like you and me chose to stand against a bulldozer just to protect other humans she doesn't really know, 23 years old girl did that. Every human should be proud of her.

Rachel Corrie ... I wish I would be like you one day.

the cinema of life ... grab a popcorn and join me ! :)

Today is going to be different , today we will be watching cinema , but with real life action :)


We all enjoy the American cinema and it's movies , who doesn't ? with all the protagonist( the hero ) and the evil  villain ,so american movies. I like them too  :p

But some people has realized that these movies were taken from the American personality itself  maybe.

Let's take a look at the history :

I wont go back to the early history cause the united states of america doesnt have any. USA is about 233 years old anyway.

It all started with the world war one , when USA helped the allies against germany , it was great thing to do and i agree , USA has turned the tide in world war one , and it has alerted the world that USA is the new hero in this world, the Savior and who is the villain ?Germany, Austria/Hungary , Ottoman Empire & Bulgaria .

 
U.S Submarine "Shark" during World War 1




Then again in world war 2 , USA was the hero by saving the allies especially Britain from Germany.
cool , who's the hero  ? USA ... who's the villain ? the major Axis powers ( Germany , Italy & Japan)
Not to forget that the hero USA used two Atomic bombs on 2 different Japanese cities and killed 120,000 , later the hero claimed that it was necessary to end the war ,but what some people don't know is that USA threw two different types of atomic bombs , The Hiroshima bomb was a uranium bomb, the Nagasaki bomb was a plutonium bomb.was that  to try which is better  and which should USA continue producing ? anyway...
Nagasaki Atomic Bomb


After world war 2 , it was the soviet union's turn to be villain of the movie , since Germany is screwed already lol , it was time for the cold war between USA and the soviet union, the evil soviet who stole the secret of Atomic bomb so both of them are equal.

one funny thing is ... during this cold war , USA supported Afghanistan when it was invaded by the soviet union , and now Afghanistan is occupied by the USA itself lol

Pay attention here , it's the new part of this interesting movie , The Soviet Union has collapsed , omg USA is alone , what to do what to do ? there's no movie without the villain.......

AHHH LOOK OVER THERE ,The Arabs ( who were never the problem before ) , these could be good , they are way different from usa and they are weird enough to be the villan , OMG TERRORIST!!!!!

my question is .......the arabians has been there for thousands of years and there was never a problem ,they didnt't really participate in world wars except as occupied colonies of the european countrie.
why did they become terrorists all of a sudden  ?
where did the terrorism come from ? :)

The greatest threat to the American national security 
Picture of the Arabian terrorist riding the super camel which can go ultrasonic and reach USA in 30 minutes! and a picture of his Mass destruction shotgun which is more dangerous than American nuclear weapons !Picture taken by the CIA


know what you want to say ... but shhh ... let me watch the movie ! :p
