Rightness or Peace?

This was the title of my discussion with my wife last night. What would you do if you had to start a war (cold or hot, it does not matter) to show people the rightness? Obviously, you might be wrong and it may take lives to prove that.
My question is pretty clear: assuming you know the truth, do you think you have the right to break the peace to unveil the rightness and stop people from doing wrong?

It's Showtime

I watched a movie named “Showtime” last night with great act of Robert De Niro and Eddie Murphy. I could not help it; I had to write something up about unfortunate real world facts presented implicitly in this movie. Different people may have various perceptions of this movie though.
Mitch has been a well-known and respectable detective looking after crimes on the street and solving cases, basically, trying to do his best. During a case he threats a camera man by shooting his camera to make him stay out of his way. You can guess the reaction of the TV channel, a lawsuit. The only way to drop the suit is participating of Mitch in a cop reality show to boost up the near bankruptcy TV station business. He agreed to do so against his will. Interestingly, the lady in charge of the show tries to change many aspects of his work and private life to be more “appealing” for the show viewers!
Doesn’t this scenario sound familiar to you? Don’t you think it’s been “show time” for a long time? Isn’t disguising part of their lives and views? You know who I am talking about, politicians. They are just not honor (This is especially obvious in my beloved country). Well, I would not really call them politicians though; they are just bunch of phonies that found the way to rule the country despotically. They have been deceiving people for more than 30 years and abusing people and our country to pursue their filthy goals. Facts have been hidden; fiction, disguising, and lies become the main ingredients of their recipe of anesthetic substance. They want to show everyone and everything the way they want to, not the way it is!
If you want to serve your country (which is exactly opposite of their target), you are accused of infidelity in their imposed believes, basically a custom astray version of holly Islam which helps them govern people. You are a monster which should be destroyed. Yes, this is their known (but secret!) weapon. Now, you have two choices, either you become a part of their gang and live happily ever after, or you insist on your faith and suffer the consequences. There is a third option: you can get along somehow not to destroy yourself, you must disguise too. Let’s put it in this way, in the great land of ours you must lie or die!

Predestination and Freedom

Imagine you have just being created by God and started your happy life with your mate in a beautiful garden. Nobody to disturb you and you think you are happy. You are given everything under a condition: you SHOULD NOT eat from the “tree of knowledge of goodness and evil”. Why not? Nobody knows, maybe God did not want human to know the truth of good and evil. Well, if I was the first human created by God and I was just thrown to such a garden, I’d have tried some of that fruits, not because it looked good or someone tempted me, maybe to satisfy my curiosity or find out why it is forbidden. My point here is human was not created with the power to control his life. “Choosing” is meaningful when there is more than one way to go. Do you think Adam and Eve had a choice to eat or not to eat from that tree? Or they were created to follow a predetermined path? What would have happened if they had not eaten from that tree and please do not tell me that they would have lived happily after forever? No, crystal clear: I were not leaning on this couch and burning in the hell of my thoughts. To convince you that Adam had to choose the way he did, listen how Qur'an tells the story (chapter 2, verse 30): "And recall when your Lord said to the Angels, I am about to place a vice-generate in the Earth, they said, "will You place such who will spread disorder and shed blood'?". It is obvious from this quote that they knew human will come to the Earth and do such things.
Anyway, I think predestination is a concept that exists as a big picture of human life. We are just like a kid that his dad takes him to a toy store to buy his dream bike. The kid has spent days and nights thinking about which bike he likes not knowing that dad has already chosen the bike because dad thinks this is a good bike for his kid. Selected bike is presented to the poor kid with millions of reasons why this is the best bike in the world. Who cares about kid's dream! He is just given the chance to pick the color. How a proud kid! And I really feel bad for those kids who cannot even enjoy their favorite color.
Essential Truths of the Christian Faith, page 161: “…Our final destination, heaven or hell, is decided by God not only before we get there, but before we are born. Our ultimate destiny is in the hands of God”.
Qur'an, chapter 13, verse 27, : "Allah sends astray whomever he will".
You see this idea in most of religions along with human freedom! Human can freely chooses between good and bad, but the free will must be reconciled with God's omniscience and goodness in allowing man to choose badly. Basically, this means that human could not even choose badly if God did not want to. On the other hand, you hear a lot that "you would not be able to if God did not want to". Thank you for generous freedom, human freely chooses the way God wants to.

Wave

I assume you have heard of wave before. Wave, right! The thing that goes up and down to carry something around. This phenomenon is the root cause of everything that happens in this world. Waves live in different kinds like light and sound. They also have different characteristics such as visibility, length, frequency and so on.

Waves impact every one of us every day. Maybe you do not care if seismic waves can reshape the planet Earth surface or cause earthquakes in deep ocean, but I bet you, you do care that waves can make you happy, sad, excited, and sometimes desperate. Believe me; they can change your climate instantly. Am I dreaming?! Not really. Waves are the most important means of communication in this world, and maybe I should have said the only one (Sorry, I cannot confirm this for other worlds, but I suppose there would be some other sort of waves). You’ve probably heard someone laughing or crying, or seen a fantastic scenery which amazed you. You can see where I am going with this, right? My point is our life without waves is like a black screen. The unfortunate is you would not even know this is a black screen, just a complete non-sense life.

I think we are now clear about the role of this THING in our life. I said waves are the cause for everything in this world, but I must admit that they are not responsible. We are! We create those creatures to make our life better or more miserable. A man who screams the war order to kill thousands or a man who announces a campaign for saving lives in African villages they both use waves to accomplish something.

I am not sure if you have ever noticed a special kind of wave which is totally different from other types in nature, but with the same characteristics and much stronger power and impact. I call this type “People Wave”. Looking briefly at the world history, we realize the fact that whenever human life has changed, positively or negatively, it was the impact of a people wave; people who decided to improve or destroy their lives. Now, wherever there is a need for change, people should start the wave to make the change happen.

Two essentials of the people wave, like all other types of wave, are having more than one particle (we are really particles in this world by the way!) involving in the wave movement and steadiness of the movement. Consider a water drop who wants to create a tsunami. It is going to vapor and the big ocean full of drops does not even care a bit. They just sit motionless and emotionless and say ”what a pity! He was a nice dude. Oh, who was that by the way?!” Nice try. You just killed yourself for nothing, who cares? Who cares if you wanted to show them they are drops but have the power to be a tsunami if they work together.

I’ve seen lots of people trying to change the world. Some of them had the power to reach their goals to some extent. For those who failed, or has not started yet, I want to give a suggestion: do not fly too high because the body that packed your parachute might have not flown before. Start slowly and try to develop your idea to reach the point that you have powerful support. I respect the fact that they want to change things that human has been suffering, but they should know that one hand cannot clap!

I deeply believe in the word of holy Qur’an that says nothing changes unless the people want to.
