 2. Language and its Deceptive Power:

        All livening creatures communicate with their peers somehow and in some way. Most of the time we humans do not know how the communication between all those creatures  happen (changing places in a flying flock of migrating birds) without language. Humans are the only creatures which communicate through language. Among the inherent characteristics of language is the power of adjectives to replace the signified object. This characteristic is very common in human sociology. A person is typified as such and such.  Typifying psychologizes the object, i.e., “this man committed a crime” soon after, a characterization of that person as a criminal appears and is followed by several derivatives of the adjective criminal. The characterizations become the person himself and he becomes an open filed for psychological speculations. Yasser Arafat had characterizations to each of his adversaries, and his claim to fame was having a war against some those Jewish characterization. He was-thus- not fighting for a cause but fighting for principles. He even catheterized himself as a warier. 

    This is what is happening now in Europe: Western Europe is not fighting for expanding NATO to stop an indirect threat of the Russians. It is fighting for a cause (our Western values). How did that danger come about now and Why?? I dare not say, because Europe is now younger in age, its old bloody history is not part of its memory, a group of inexperienced and seriously ignorant young politicians are taking charge of the  blossoming new Europe and it is Hard to say it thanks to the atomic bomb there will not a chance for those (idiots) to drag us in a third world war.  

    Psychologizing and moralizing the problem is pathetic and  makes the politicians who raise the banner of morality the new danger that reminds of the beginning of Nazism. Morality and values and OUR this and OUR that are not issues in this centry because they  were wrong then and are still wrong now. Our Western Values versus their !!!values, and Their Morality and Our Morality is a prescription for disasters even though it is not atomic(we Hope). The pond that could reflect the Images of Millions of Narcissistic idiots exists in all of us. The only serious difficulty in dealing with narcissism is the healers of narcissism could be narcissistic too.

Are we serious about what is happening now or are the young inexperience politicians of today repeating the stupidities of Yasser Arafat ? I am afraid that history-sometimes- repeats itself with very small changes.
