Hello
So being that the Middle East is in a chaotic situation constantly their are always stories coming out of the Middle East. We have such a story out of the Middle East where a rebel faction has publicly beheaded a person that they had believed was meant for death.
What they later realized was that this man they they had said was "meant for death" was actually a powerful member of the same faction who had been missing, presumed captured by an opposing faction. They later publicly "apologized" for making the mistake because at the time they decided that that man needed to die. The way this makes me feel is twofold, part one i feel sorry that anyone has to die, on top of that it was such an embarrassment for everyone involved. However in the bible Jesus says "those who live by the sword die by the sword",
which perfectly sums up this situation. We cant forget that he is and was a terrorist in the view of the people in power and had probably taken his fair share of lives. So what i have to say is that maybe this isn't an all bad thing or rather maybe they're is a silver lining behind this situation that will help people in the future and that is that this militant faction may in the future be deterred from hastily beheading or any form of murder in the future. However in the case of people fighting out of passion they rarely make reliable decisions and they're action aren't changed that easily. This is just another story in the many that comes out of the Middle East based on one of the many problems corrupting the Middle East. Another favourite problem is money, and some are better than others but by far the worst story of money out of the Middle East is Greece who is having some troubles. To give a brief history of they're problem Greece relied almost solely upon borrowed money and with borrowed money they're is interest. But as the global economy crashed the investors required more interest to be safe and so threw Greece into a scramble for money and they needed to increase taxes for everything in they're country and as such they're economy crashed.
Now this brings me to something i often think about and that is what drives the world, and what i can see from people in general but even more so in the middle east is that people are driven by few things. Passion, money and power.
