Nuclear Weapons, "Global Peacemakers" or Killing Devices?

Image
Since the invention of nuclear weapons we have had a long period of global peace and stability. Are nuclear weapons global peacemakers or killing devices? 1945. The year in which the most powerful and the most destructive weapon in the world was invented. The Nuclear Bomb.   It was the year in which USA tested its first nuclear bomb and then soon after dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. However, since the World War II, we have had 72 years of so-called “global peace”. It is the peace where two nations have not been at war due to the fear of being completely wiped out, as they both possess the ultimate weapon of destruction. They have sheathed their swords and unloaded their guns because the threat of nuclear weapons is hanging over their heads like a dangling knife. Nevertheless, this peace and stability is only the outward appearance of oppression. The countries that do not have the powerful weapon of destruction are being exploited by the countries that ha...

Beyond The Scene…

Image
Passion, Persistence and Dedication; it’s a one way road to success.  All they had was a burning passion which fed their persistence and dedication and paved their way to success. BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan, Bulletproof boys, Beyond The Scenes) is a Korean boy band of seven who debuted under a small company, BigHit Entertainment, in 2013.  Coming from a small company meant they’d have to work extremely hard to get some sort of recognition in a highly competitive market filled with big shots. They were only baby fishes who were tossed out into the deep ocean, exposed to the deadly sharks, to face the harsh reality of the world. But they kept their passion alive and took confident steps forward. There were times when they had to sleep or practice on empty stomachs as they didn’t have enough food to eat. There were also days when they practiced too much that they dropped with exhaustion as they barely had any energy to move. They were the underdogs of Korea. The media ...

BABA YAGA

Image
Baba Yaga (the youngest of the three) Don't take a stroll too deep in the woods at night Don't stray away from the path that is right Beware of the strangers when it's light But be more cautious of the walkers of night Because you never know what's lurking in those shadows Can be an animal from the wild Or an old woman who seeks a wandering child Retrace your steps all the way back home Don't look here and there Don't answer that voice calling you out from the shadows Don't let her find you Don't you ever look for her too Just keep walking straight And don't you dare hesitate For if she catches you She won't spare you She will eat you Decorate her hut from your bones Your skull will join many others in adorning the fence That surrounds the turning hut standing on  chicken legs... ~~~ From the Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga is a supernatural being or a tri...

Dark Night

Image
I just want to disappear in the blackness of the night. Let the darkness of it cradle me in it's shadowy arms, Consuming me, concealing me from the harsh light  Encasing me in its cold embrace Like a blanket, giving shelter Numbing my senses,  Fending off my sorrows, Protecting me from myself. Clutching this haven I'm holding on too tight. Afraid to lose control I lost myself in time. Can't remember when the lines started to blur  I gave up all hope Losing all my will to fight.

Interpreted Quotes

“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Music is the medicine for tiredness. It refreshes your mind and relaxes your soul. It’s a remedy to escape all your problems even if just for a little while. “How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever.” Time is money. In fact time is worth more than money. Because money once spent on something wrong can be refunded but the time wasted won’t ever come back again. “The impossible is often the untried.” We assume that somethings are simply not possible without putting any effort into it. We proclaim them impossible without even trying to make them work. Therefore, at times we try to cover up our lack of effort/hard work/laziness with the word ‘impossible’.   “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.” Everything that we do for ourselves i...
