North Korea and Stuff

I am asked by friend on a statement I said against western media.

People of North Korea are running away from N. Korea en mass. Shall we blame western media for this?

Suppose the whole North Korea left North Korean land because of a war they don't want and nobody is listening to their voice to back them up. For western media is bent on seeing North Korea razed to the ground. Who wants to die.

North Korea has no nuclear weapons to defend it self, but it does have plutonium missiles. About 3 of them it seems, can it defend itself against a super power which repently developing other nuclear weapons(advanced it seems). The world does not understand that North Koreans are innocent of the nuclear weapons, are innocent of the missile that shelled the island. How can the world protect North Korea? For the world is brain washed by western media and know only that North Korea is secretive therefore not much should be expected to be heard from it. But North Korea, is speaking and its voice is small. The western media is louder and muffles the North Korean media.

Has not South Koreans accepted responsibility of the missile that shelled the island during a military exercise and killed people? Has not North Korea denied responsibility of the missile? Has not the west already justified an attack on North Korea and already found out that the secretive state has no nuclear weapons to be feared during the invasion?

Who will protect the people of North Korea? They are en mass running away from being innocently slaughtered by an angry western world. For Asia does not wish to get involved nor should it, Africa has to feed its own people and can't afford to waste its few it has also begged to do war against its unreasonable donor nor should it. It is a crime to slaughter innocent people. The same butcher is quick to punish others. Let it now slaughter itself for its murders.

En mass they should leave and let only the land maybe without life in it to suffer loss. Let the west allow all innocent women and children and soldiers who don't want war to leave North Korea. Let all innocent men also leave, let birds of the air animals that creep the ground of North Korea leave North Korea before North Korea is razed to the ground. Is it easy to make life than to destroy it?

Let the creator of life take care of his own life and let no-one destroy life created by somebody else. Let it alone. For whoever you are you too are created. Yet there is an enemy. He comes but to still kill and destroy.

Shall your hands be guilty of this innocent blood? For God will demand repayment for every tooth removed from an innocent man.

Arsenal 2 - 0 Spurs

That was what I had today during Arsenal and Tottenhum Hotspur game. It might be some caught it and the confidence it is fulfilled. I was excited as well. But the outcome did not tarry with the predicated result. What was it then? I remember confirming if I really had to put 2 for arsenal and for Tottenhum Hotspur to put Spurs. That's what they were being called on the radio anyway. So I put Spurs as I had confirmed.

The result was now written as Arsenal 2 - Spurs 0. The game ended Arsenal 2 - Spurs 3. I thought at the end of the game what could it be? Am I hearing from God? I waited and accepted my fault maybe it was wishful thinking.

But the words I had to confirm and yet that is how it seems to be. I checked my motivation, yes I did want to win. I could win as I see it I could also win as God desires.

What did I see in the end? Arsenal might have aimed for the goals they wanted. Tottenhum my have been prepared for anything. When Arsenal got their expected goals, they may have planned for a defensive game. Tottenhum might have anticipated this and might have been prepared to attack a defensive team. So anything unlike our interpretated expectation makes the prediction or prophesy false and we lose faith easily.

In their own strength Arsenal could have recovered from the unexpected change but after the half-time with little coaching, and already in a different game mindset it was difficult to recover. For in-game success, the supports act as spurs they incite or stimulate. For someone who is achieving less than his potential and is not encouraged, his performance dwindles more and more. I remember someone commenting Arsenal playing a brilliant game during first-half. But someone commented of an ever deteriorating performance in the second-half.

So here goes: Arsenal the Team won 2 goals. The spurs, the supporters won no goal. The goals they were supposed to win, were supposed to be in spurring (supporting the losing team). The defence they were supposed to give, was in supporting the losing team.

So indeed Arsenal 2 - Spurs 0.

Whenever you do good and work hard your success is your own. You benefit from it alone and those who find help from the help you give.

There are some that make want to make you look bad out of jealous. The break what you build and blame it on you. In the end there are some who do see your success. And these acknowledge. These are the ones who are for you than those that have found fault with you.

Understanding that you are not as bad as others want to make you look, can help you spur yourself on despite the noise from those filled with jealous because of your success.

Poor Service Provision

Connectivity in Malawi is plunged with so many problems from high costs, congestion, unreliability, etc.

Where do these problems come from and how can they be resolved?

Having done business planning, on costing, for one to make profit, they have to sell their products and services at a price higher than what cost they have put in. However, to maintain profit, if the cost increases the price automatically increases. Is there a way to lower down the price?

A careful understanding of what cost goes into communication media would better resolve what price the use of the media should be. Take for example the copper wire which formed the MTL backbone. It has high capacity but the cost of using it is too high. Maybe higher than Optic fibre. Is this realistic? For one the cost of material for installing the copper wire, is expected to be lower than the that of fibre, the cost of maintainance should be lower than that of fibre and I would expect copper wire to be more durable than fibre so frequency of breakdowns should be lower. This further reduces cost of maintainance for fibre. Because the fibre and copper are shared for many users the cost per user should be much much lower to each user.

The cost of installation should be in my opinion the most variable with one factor of maintainance cost for each media which should cover the difference between various media in terms of depreciation.

The cost of usage should be sorely related to cost of labor doing daily maintainance. For cost of labour is the most stable, it is expected the cost usage to be stable.

Since communication is the major determinant for prices of most goods it is expected that these prices would stabilize and be lower for the benefit of humanity.

What of congestion? Each provider wants to have as many clients as possible as such they put as many strategies to keep their customers for themselves. But does each providers provide what the user really needs? In my opinion, if you have 100 customers, you can invest to provide services for 100 users and still get profit on your investment. Similarly if you have 1000 users. While the perception of profit seems higher for 1000, in reality it isn't much of a difference, as the cost of providing 1000 increases therefore the price of service provision if maintained such that selling to 1000 users fixes the profit margin. Unless the cost for providing is cotmpromised should there be big difference in profits. Now compromising the costs directly amounts to poor services. Which in most cases amount to congestion, unreliability, etc. In the end only providers are happy non of the users are.

There restrictive strategies the service providers put on their customers further increases the costs the customers have to pay to user their services to their satisfaction. For customers have different needs not all of which are satisfied by the providers. It is better therefore that providers put away these restrictive measures for users to use services of their choices to their satisfaction without extra costs. And if a provider has to put restrictive measures then it should be bound to provide all the services the user wants and for the users satisfaction. This then should give less choice for the provider on what and how the service should be provided than for the user. For telecoms it also means removing the extra charge to another network. For the user will always have the need to communicate to someone on another network. And the user shouldn't do this at extra cost.

Different users have different connectivity uses. Restrictive strategies put users who use a less of the resources to a disadvantage than those who use a lot of resources. I.e. users who do a lot of downloads need a seperate connectivity service and users who user the connectivity for simple browsing and data communication. So the usage can be equated to providing quality service to 100 users and to 1000 users. There should be profit still due to the cost/price difference.

Of Mental Illness

Just last week Malawi News released an article on mental illness. The doctor is an expert seemingly, but this is the first hand account.

What is it? Is it a demon? Is it damage of the brain? Is it an infection? What is it?

I will try to explain its psychology, and touch on the physical and spiritual part of it.

St. John of God about whom the house of hospitality is was a person like you and me. His conversion to Christianity was very strong and dramatic in the society that people thought he had gone mad. They treated him like a mentally ill person. In this treatment he endured much pain and understood the pain these people go through. He started giving then shelter and food taking care of them. If St. John of God lived today he would rather want less patients hospitalized who come for first time but justified and would love those really needing care being treated humanly and with love. Not like animals. For these people too have feelings and experience a lot of heartache and to make it worse they added on all their emotional pain and physical abuse they get, from those who have not understood.

Of all the diseases in the world mental illness is not. For it seems nothing to do with infection or physical damage if it was it would have another name.

Yet it is and begins with emotional pain from emotional abuse. A very grave and acute accusation can bring one so low with guilt that he becomes incapacitated to do anything. His state of mind at this moment to understand why? He might stay as such for long that his behavior is noticed by other people as strange. When a word of a priest, a witch doctor or medical doctor declares it mental illness. All sorts of thoughts and fears come among the community and stigma follows from all the history that has accumulated who mentally ill people are.

The devil it is said is an accuser always accusing us before God but Jesus is always interceding for us before God.

Whenever we curse someone we allow the devil to abuse the person. Whenever we bless someone we deny the devil any action but allow God to resolve the problem.

In the state of accusations from men and / or the devil, these men do feel the guilt. And in their guilt and the dirt they feel inside manifests even in their action. I guess that is why they would rather eat the food from the dust bin than from the plate. They would rather have something dirty than something clean for it is the outward reflection of the guilty they feel and in doing so, an attempt.

At this point when one is labeled mentally ill and the society has registered it. It does not matter what was the cause of initial fear but what surrounds the person shapes the person's behavior and further reaction to society.

It now becomes a disease of a society in terms of emotions like fear from from the harsh treatment he has received on the basis of the label, violence (there is no place he is allowed to stay because of the label he is kicked this way and that) some people around him ridicule him and he has to defend himself, his kind of life becomes whenever I do this action I get peace of mind, whenever I do this, people give me food. Whenever I hold a stone in my hand and stretch the other people give me some money. He might have even the accidental event that brought this combination for begging that he even call the stone my lucky stone. And carries it wherever he goes for it brings him luck and the food to live another day. Is there violence in such a man?

I noticed that after such a long treatment by the society they get to lose the sense of what is right and what is wrong. This would be the reason why Jesus told the mad person he had healed, go and tell your people what God has done. For he has again to learn the ways of the society. This is a form of behavioral rehabilitation.

I have managed so far after overcoming the guilt and accusations to live with confidence among people. An article like written in Malawi News just recently presenting the mentally ill as time bombs can incite such a fear and hatred among the society for the mentally ill that makes life so difficult for them. I met one in such a person. The way he walked, he was in a state of such restlessness may be wondering why is this world suddenly harsh?

Whoever put such an article whatever was his motivation why not just come up to the one person you have a problem with than put so many other people in trouble. (I dreamed about it this day and there was a person who had a problem with me who decided to incite some trouble because of my refusal to associate myself with them). Does such not such a revelation come from God as warning about events of the day?

How do we deal with mental illness? The are cases in which accusing demons keep on following them around for society in cursing such people have given them room. In their own solitary moments they seek to find some truth that justifies the injustice and pain inflicted on them in most cases they dwindle down in self accusations. Because somehow God does not allow it their attempt to relieve themselves by killing themselves fails and they live another day. They survive from day to day pick some food and eat and move on find a shelter to sleep in. Sometimes, in their pain they get some relief from the flashes of interesting memories they have gone through. So yeah, they laugh when they are alone. It's only a relief from emotional pain.

Whenever you find them talking alone, there has been no ear to listen to the emotional hurts and pains from the unjustly harsh treatment they have received from the society.

In defining, which of the actions of the society was right and which was wrong, they to what extent were they wrong from the punishments received, they get relieved of their guilt and they get to understand which of those in the society were just bad and impossible. This justification of their actions shields and insulated them better of future emotional pains and abuses. For at list now they can justify themselves by the truth they have known about the further accusations and abuses. For further rehabilitation its necessarily love that completes the rehabilitation. The mad person benefited much from the peoples trust in Jesus that he really had been healed. It's up to the society to love such people. Jesus himself was called a nazarene and rastamen far the principles of the nazarene. This allows for a fewer of these mad men find love and acceptance in a society. The only mistake of the rasta men is in their understanding of Haile Selas as Jesus(messiah). As much there are messiahs from different oppressions Haile Selas could be categorically put among people like Moses who sets Israelites free from captivity. It is wrong to worship him for he like all other redeemers other than Jesus they are also just servants like also angels who carry messages of God to men. Only for Jesus has it been declared from God, that every knee shall bow and every toung confess that Jesus is Lord. For Jesus, it has been said the lamb of God that takes away our sins. No other root of David has such title. For end redemption is from sin and eternal damnation only this lamb of God, Jesus has been given a task of such messiahood. God has said of Him that we listen to Him. For he Jesus is the only begotten of God. He is the only one who came from God for the purpose of showing the way, the truth, and the light to salvation from sin and eternal damnation.

He give instructions of what is the right way. Among these instructions, he says, whoever does good for such as these does it for Jesus. Whoever does not do good for such as this does not do so for Jesus.

Love is the only cure of such an illness. It takes patience as well for having accustomed to pain and multiple betrayals, an act of love might take time to make a difference. If it is followed by the expected betrayal anyway it widens the gap wider. So when you give love with conditions, such love has many times caused pain already in their lives. When you give further rebuke, its the many rebukes that weighs them down already. So, just love and kindness is all they have been missing in all their lives. No more pain. Physical or Emotional. Just love and kindness.

God bless they that love such people.

Genesis 6

During this time. A torment of a soul is heart breaking. God looks down at His creation, souls of men tormented and abused by the fallen angels.

God tells Adam don't take this fruit you will die. Adam is deceived to still take it because the woman has already taken it. Should I let my woman die and live alone again? It is better that we both die together. So for her he eats it. He doesn't know the torment of this death but God does. I will try to take care of you my children even though you may still suffer more before the redemption comes.

They had to leave the garden of Eden to cultivate the ground. In cultivating their mind was at least calmed down for it was taken away from the fear of the unknown. And life was bearable. They lived in torment until each alive for a thousand years. Until it was prophesied one would come who would set us free from the curse of the ground.

Since livestock had been contaminated man even though at first had been given both meat and plants to eat, they now ate only plants.

The accounts up to Genesis 5, were written not in complete sequential order but in parallels to allow for explain different instances of events of particular interest. So Noah was born. And the sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth.

When God looked at the torment of the souls of men during this time. He was very sorry and saw it better to let the men die. And die and the Nephilim also.

During this time there must have been a beast that God particularly was interested to destroy. The falling of the rain would entangle it deep in the under the mad that when the land dries up, it would also bind this beast.

Meanwhile among men there is one man, Noah. Him God wants to preserve he has not yet been touched by the contamination of the fallen angels.

After the rain this beast is buried at a certain instant when Pereg was born, he divides this world breaking this beast apart. That is how this beast died.

In the pursuit of riches. There is an element which the world seems to be following and at sales at high price there are places it is found. The love money is the root of all evil. This evil thing which through astrologers followed in predicting stocks, at this one very moment there was a war and reports of war world over, this very thing had a very high price.

Those that pursued this wished to create the similar circumstance which because of the nuclear bombs, the world was destroyed (in my perception split in peaces) and I could feel the ground that the world wobbling. People running all over and there was much sinning around the place I was. People could just not control themselves.

It is difficult for me to differentiate which of the events which happened around me was the present or the future. Unless somebody confirms these events who was present with me during this time. But there were many things I observed and did in resolving issues around me.

This war in pursuit for nasquad predictions breaks the world in peaces and releases this evil of all evil bound around the time of Genesis 6. So stop!
