THE ALGERIAN LION IS BACK

The last Algerian lion was killed in 1891 at Souk-Ahras. Some say the lions hung on for a decade or so longer in these countries. Therefore i have to say it in French " Quand le lion parle les souris, les chiens, les renards, les loups, les singes, et meme les poules doivent ecouter". Les grenouilles parlent un language peu connu en Algerie. The frogs do not talk politics they croak lies! Le lion est tres serieux.

Thoughts can be Enhancers or Destroyers of Civilizations

Thinking is the driving force of creativity and creativity is the proof of existing. I think therefore I am. We intellectuals have no treasure but our thoughts. As intellectuals, we think and our power is incorporated into constructive ideas. That kind of positive thinking is power that energizes civilizations today and bodes well for future generations. The power of thinking is the soul of a human being.

If creativity is the power of creating then what is power? Power is whatever widens your ideas, sharpens your vision, works with novelty, and visualizes the obscure. Nietzsche states in a beautiful phrase, "You need chaos in your soul to give life to a dancing star."
Creativity is the breakthrough in our life transcending the normal routine of life. It is not defining or reshaping. Reshaping the world is a crazy idea boiling in a foolish mind. Redefining things is a fanatical approach equivalent to an advanced level of stupidity. Goodness is redefined as terrorism whereas real terrorism is redefined as the forced path to democracy.
I speak not of power in terms of dominance or influence. I speak of the "power" by which I mean the right to be what I want to be. I do not believe it is the right of others to manipulate and mould me into their zealous perception of "democracy." To me this is an affront.
In engineering power is defined as the work done over a certain time. If you can achieve good work in a short time then you are powerful. But on the negative side I do not mean that you kill en masse in a short span of time. This is not power but criminality and definitely not creativity. Killing in the name of Peace and Democracy is barbarism and war profiteering.
Some people relate action to work. This is a wrong perception. You can act and not work. Dancing is an action and so is killing an action. In both situations you are not working but acting. In the first image, you are acting as an artistic star while in the second image you are acting through video mentality and as a killer star.
Creativity has both roots of creation and destruction. Destruction is a force that can bring down a civilization that lasted for thousands of years.
Destroyers come into countries armed with ignorance and arrogance creating walls of concrete to herd peaceable people into prisons to spread peace! Corralling people into cement enclaves is not the way to win hearts and minds. What this kind of action shows is disgrace, scandal, and brutality.
Creativity is the state of a free and open mind. Brains closed and darkened by chaos are the sources of all political disputes and discord in the world.
For sure clarity can not be revealed by a mentally ill person. Rumors, fabrication, and gossip destroy civilizations and create partitions both in one's brain and in society. This type of partioning is evil and destructive and should be abolished because it transforms modern society into a barbaric society.
