To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness.
There are quite a few reasons why Africa is underdeveloped today; some are cultural, some social and other historical. One of the major reason was the decolonization process of Africa (1960s and 1970´s,) and the consequences after.
The deficiencies of “education” of the new rulers, the “cold war” factor (phantom dictator’s support) created a tremendous desolation for the next generation and the assessment of how to use natural resources. Although we have seen some improvements, and some new way of “doing business” in Africa… pretty much still the same… only with better cars, boats, houses... and power.
Thank you Vasili Arkhipov, the man who stopped nuclear war
50 years ago, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, second-in-command Vasilli Arkhipov of the Soviet submarine B-59 refused to agree with his Captain's order to launch nuclear torpedos against US warships and setting off what might well have been a terminal superpower nuclearwar.
The US had been dropping depth charges near the submarine in an attempt to force it to surface, unaware it was carrying nuclear arms. The Soviet officers, who had lost radio contact with Moscow, concluded that World War 3 had begun, and 2 of the officers agreed to 'blast the warships out of the water'. Arkhipov refused to agree - unanimous consent of 3 officers was required - and thanks to him, the world was saved from being scarred badly.
His story is finally being told - the BBC is airing a documentary on it
[American exceptionalism] is a reaction to the inability of people to understand global complexity or important issues like American energy dependency. Therefore, they search for simplistic sources of comfort and clarity. And the people that they are now selecting to be, so to speak, the spokespersons of their anxieties are, in most cases, stunningly ignorant..” Zbigniew Brzezinski
