Ive had a lot of ups and downs in my personal life, but Ive never felt depressed by them. I think I have mastered the art of surmounting obstacles as far as lies within my capacity. And those who know me up close will testify to my positive and happy disposition. But then, each time I think about our world, which I do pretty often, I feel mightily down. Im just not happy at the way the world is organised, at how the poor and the weak are being screwed on a daily basis, at how the concept of justice is being mangled on the international scene with reckless abandon (for the records, Israel is getting away with international crime thanks simply to a skewed notion of right and wrong as championed by the US). I am not amused at all when I think everyday about the skewed nature of things. The more things appear to change the more they remain the same or even get worse. It is even more troubling that the leaders in the Global South who should be able to see throgh the charade, deception and parasitism of the West and set forth to organise their polities in a meaningful and sustainable manner are the ones who rush to the same West to authenticate whatever dubious scheme they come up with. These things are a cause for concern for me and they tend to impinge on my happiness threshold, much as I try to keep them at bay. We are screwed! Phew!
