THINKING FOLLY

ECKHART TOLLE

Thinking folly, folly according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, lack of judgement, the fact of doing something stupid, or an activity or idea that lack of jugdement. The synonym is stupid. According to Eckhart Tolle, the original writer to his article, “The Power of Now” he prefers to think by using this method. Why? Because he do not want to burden his system of thought. Maybe, he refers this to his previous life. He once had a mental breakdown due to his seriousness in thinking, even the tiny problem can be a heavy, serious and been dragged to days, maybe weeks, months even years !

As for my opinion, thinking is good. We can’t regard that thinking can bring disease. Thinking can create creativity, imagination, new findings, wise jugdements, and also avoid us from being left behind. To develop and find solutions, one have to think first in order to seek for a better result. Hence, to be a good, better and the best, one have to think. If we think a lot, surely, it will create keenness in certain purpose of thinking. Show the interest of thinking, thus, people will respect you. Through thinking, we can plan. Planning for the future,is predicting the unexpected outcome that will arise. So, maybe, as a sign of preparation, we can prepare what need to be prepared, and done what need to be done. So, as for me, thinking is good, but not too much. As too much can kill.

THE PIANIST

In this particular movie titled “The Pianist “was been inspired by Wladyslaw Szpilman real life during the First World War. He was worked as a pianist in a radio station. When the Germans entered Warsaw, the Jews community has to wear the armband with the Star of David picture, to differentiate between the Jews and the Germany. Soon, their lives become deteriorate. The Germany forced them to live in a small area that has been separated from the outer world connection. They were prohibited from using the pavements, foods are barely able to get, money were been rationed by the Nazi.

This movie portrays the difficulties that the Jews had been through. They had been oppressed, treated like an animal, underestimated and been killed without any mercy or sympathy. In the Germans eyes, the Jews are merely pigs, and leeches that sucking blood endlessly. The jews are once dominated the Germans economy and oppressed the Germany by selling things at high price. Suddenly, there was a revival made by Adolf Hitler, to repay back on to their community.

WLADYSLAW SZPILMAN

Wladyslaw Szpilman himself, has to watched his society been punished for what they had done. The massacre that had been carried out is only a torment for their mistakes. He then pursue his life to an empty house where he find a can of pickles. He live there until he was been found by Captain Wilm Hosenfeld. Surprisingly, the captain did not kill him, instead he was the one who help Wladyslaw by providing him with food and jacket.

JACK THE RIPPER

Jack the Ripper once had rocked the London serenity. This case, even it has passed hundred years ago, but still it is shrouded in mystery, left to be unsolved. Jack the Ripper appeared in London and the name “Jack the Ripper” was given in order to gave the early impression towards people about his cruelty in killing his victims. He was also called the Whitechappel Murder and “Leather Apron” due to his professionalism in peeling his victims skins, internal body organ or what so ever that seems too gruesome to be told.

The victims usually a group of  prostitutes that work in Whitechappel area, however, the total is undefined until now. But, the police department stated that he was responsible upon the 9 killing serials. The 5 victims that involved were :

·         Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, murdered Friday, August 31, 1888.

·         Annie Chapman, murdered Saturday, September 8, 1888.

·         Elizabeth Stride, murdered Sunday, September 30, 1888.

·         Catharine Eddowes, also murdered that same date.

the state where he left his victim

·         Mary Jane (Marie Jeanette) Kelly, murdered Friday, November 9, 1888.

All of them were found in a horrible state. The Ripper seized the women by their throats and strangled them until they were unconscious if not dead. The autopsies constantly revealed clear indications that the victims had been strangled. In the past some writers believed that the Ripper struck from behind when the victims were bent forward, their skirts hiked up their backsides while waiting to engage in anal sex. This is a very awkward arrangement and the risk that they may scream or elude his clutch's make this unacceptable. The Ripper then lowered his victims to the ground, their heads to his left. This has been proven by the position of the bodies in relation to walls and fences that show that there was virtually no room for the murderer to attack the body from the left side. No bruising on the back of the heads shows that he lowered the bodies to the ground rather than throwing or letting them fall. He then slaughter their throats, and took the viscera as a trophy, a token of killing the prostitutes.

MEN and WOMEN are MERELY PLAYERS

 

Men and women are merely players. Why is this happen? Human being are made to suits themselves to the situation. We are easily blending ourselves in certain group according to their way of lifestyle, converse and so on. Human beings are being players because of these factors. That is:

·         Being a hypocrite so that we can be accepted by our surroundings, our society.

·         The people committing hypocritical acts normally try to use some form of rationalization to justify their actions. A man committing adultery may say that he is only breaking his wedding vows by having sex with prostitutes. The ultimate rationalization is the phrase, "I just couldn't help myself." From these statements, clearly, human can change their thought in a few seconds, in order to twist the facts and save themselves from difficulties.

·         So that people won’t underestimate your capability in dissolving yourself with the society. How you use your social skills, maybe?

·         The vivid evidence is when, as a Muslim, we are compulsory to perform 5 times prayer a day, but the truth is, after performing the prayers, we usually, came back to our “regular” lives. What I mean by “regular” lives is when we lead our way of daily life.

·         Double-faced person maybe is being consider as the opportunity grabber. Look at the scenario now, the one who always talk in sweet and flowery words, always been given the best opportunity.

·         Men and women are merely players, to fulfilled human needs, our surroundings, our society, not OURSELVES NECESSITIES.

She consumed cyanide, while Hitler used gunshot as the alternative way to end up his life after lose the war to Soviet party. The inferior feeling that had dragged him to the breaking point and carried out the most disgraceful way to die. He died with shame, hatred from the people that had been oppressed by his regime.

The fuhrerbunker where they committed suicide

Why Hitler did carry a suicide to end up his life? This situation maybe because of Poland had been colonize by the Soviet. Hitler that had lose the align power, so, he choose this way, to die. Maybe he does not want to be ashamed by the new power. So, he decided to end up his life with a simple and quick shoot from his gun. Surprisingly, Hitler still kept his mother’s picture in his purse. Even though, he was known as the most influential and cruel dictator, still he has a room in his heart for his beloved one.
