I normally have a sleep in the afternoons, due to the crazy time zone thing involved in writing this site. Well the other day, I had works going on, in the road, outside and just could not get off to zzzzzland.
Um what to do? So I watched the movie Gandhi, again.
Apart from the wonderful scenery of Mother India and the enormous crowd scenes, there was so much poverty and deprivation. I fell into my usual trap by thinking, oh they did those shots well,capturing the times of the early 20th century. What a fool.! They were shot for real and very little was made up! People still live like that, today, never mind in the 80's when the film was made or further back.
Religious intolerance has actually plumbed new depths since Gandhi, Look who tried to follow him? Martin Luther King, a womaniser. Malcolm x well ho ho.! We have Muslim killing Muslim, which is exactly what the enemies of Islam want to happen. Divide and rule. We have their leaders hiring hugely expensive lawyers, trying not to leave their luxury, in London to be sent to harsher countries, which are rather less liberal and understanding to their strange beliefs and views.Fees are, of course, paid from the donations of their followers who work for virtually nothing and wouldn't recognise a Starbuck's double latte at a hundred metres!!
It just seems to go on and on. Yet a piece of canvas,with multi coloured paint daubed on it, can be sold, by Eric Clapton, for some $23 million. Why does the UK buy two new aircraft carriers at £11 billion each when people lie in the streets, homeless? Things are so out of balance.Where did Ying and Yang go? Holidays?
We send rocket ships to other Planets and out into the vastness of Space and yet deny that there are other people's out there! Why should they visit this zoo,anyway???!!
Perhaps that is why we are here. A living sociology project of another, more civilised people, to show them who and what they evolved from, to where they are in their present time. All very Star Trek holadeck, but you get the idea. Why not?
When we sleep, we are updating what is going on 'at home' then wake up and continue the history at a level pre picked or selected to 'dream' about. Are we someone's dream? Think about that one!!
Well I ain't ranted for a while, so there you go. another nick nack Paddy rant, give the dog an I phone..........
