I am an old Owl sitting on the branch of my tree and watching the age old game recently re-named as Aleppo. The game is as old as the story of two Prophet and one exclusive God proclaimed as Allah. The two opposing teams in the game played out at Aleppo are Sunni and Shia.
The same competitive game is being staged by every Prophet driven team around the world. Prophet and profiteering has become the name of the game in which God seems to be the constant witness and referrie. There is never a shortage of highly charged audience for the game.
Faith seems to have become a many splendored and blundered dimension ranging from blindness and bloodiness to self enlightenment under a common umbrella called Religion. When we loose Faith in ourselves, we tend to read a Book for directions. A Book can only instruct how to go East, West, North or South, up or down except how to go within, which is the seat of all pervading and all inclusive Consciousness.
Aleppo has been used as the current excuse and battleground for resolving the centuries old divide between the Sunni and Shia faiths. Aleppo is a war of attrition of opposition at all costs.
It is the same old story where ever a Prophet is prophesied as the Son-of-God and as an intermediary medium between God and Consciousness.
In wars such as Aleppo, a brokered truce or ceasefire serves merely as an excuse to pause, regroup and resume the never ending war.
These highly inflammable and Ego driven wars pull in International players that are eager for profiteering and furthering self interests.
From the perspective of an Owl, the name of the global game is Prophet-N-Profiteering….
Today, the world body of Disunited Nations Organisation (DNO) is priding on a brokered Ceasefire in the midst of a ruined city of Aleppo and suffering of unaccountable number of displaced families and children unable to grasp what has gone wrong so badly and why ? They even lack the physical energy to ask, Who is responsible for this Mess ?
The simple Arithmetic of Life...
Following extract from Wikipedia is a brief info on the physicality of Aleppo:
Main article: Syrian Civil War
In 2011, Aleppo was Syria's largest city with a population of 2.5 million people. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it has been described by Time as Syria's commercial capital.[77] Author Diana Darke has written that "The city has long been multi-cultural, a complex mix of Kurds, Iranians, Turkmen, Armenians and Circassians overlaid on an Arab base in which multi-denominational churches and mosques still share the space."[78]
Nationwide protests against the government led by President Bashar al-Assad had occurred since 15 March 2011, as part of the Arab Spring. In Aleppo itself, large protests started more than a year later in May 2012.[79] During this period, government-organized rallies in support of itself also occurred.[80] Aleppo had remained undisturbed and largely supportive of the regime[81][82] by the 16-month-long conflict till 22 July, when rebel fighters from the neighbouring villages converged and penetrated into it,[83] to which the government responded with heavy-handed, indiscriminate bombardments of the city.[81]
