Acrimonious World

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, "young and inexperienced" in an acrimonious and threatening letter, the daily newspaper Le Monde reported Friday.

I came across this comment first, and then thought, "ah well, yet another quip, from that madman".  But as I was reading the newswires, I came across the word acrimonious again.

In a statement following the vote on the resolution on moratorium on the use of the death penalty, the representative of Singapore congratulated the co-sponsors of the resolution on their “pyrrhic victory”. He said the vote had proved that there was no international consensus on the resolution, as almost half of the delegations had not voted in its favour. That should be an indication that many delegations were uncomfortable with the text. Co-sponsors had brought the resolution forward fully aware of how acrimonious and divisive the issue was.

There is something weird, and yet wonderful about coincidence, and with the internet, it happens a lot.  It defies logic, because how often is it, that one comes across such a word as acrimonious.

Now maybe there is a hidden meaning to all this?  One can talk about the split world we live in.  That all those for capital punishment are with the likes of the Seyyeds.  Is this the great divide in the world?

I know that on a personal note, when I first meet someone, I don't ask about their religion or their politics.  What I do ask is their position on Capital Punishment.  And I ask you, dear reader,  where do you stand?

Let me tell you where I stand and why.  I believe in Life.  I do not think there is such a thing as death.  But my definition of Life is different.  I believe that there is a greater existence, and that we are always part of that.  So nothing just disappears and is gone.  The energy of the person remains.  Astrologers and many non Astrologers connect to these energies.  So with that attitude, it is ridiculous to believe in death.

Now look at the all the political, nationalistic, religious and other movements or motives, that have been based on death, and have not done Good.  The world that we live in now, is only where it is, because on balance, more people on Earth are learning, that death is a divisive issue, and at best helps the person who kills the most.

As for Iran, it will be only a free society, as and when Capital Punishment is outlawed.  That will take care of the Seyyeds' dogma, and any other awkward political movement.  The Iranian Opposition needs to be fully united on this, and non-violent regime change.  This can be done by having peaceful General Strikes, whereby the Seyyeds' authority will be undermined, with no harm to anyone.
