On the same path

We are still way too far from changing our cultural behavior, and even our ethical realities. Categorizing societies and considering people equal in terms of means of change, conduct, way of thinking, moral practices, general cultural structure and even goals leads to peoples’ destruction. Therefore, we find that peoples who had been ruled by totalitarians and subjected to a sort of brainwashing seem to have been molded to come out identical in both shape, ways of thinking, IQ levels, understanding, deduction and so on.

Such people are not creative because of closure, hearing mono-voices and having mono-teachers and paths. Individuals are identical. This is what we need to warn Arab nations about, namely in Kuwait where we follow set patterns, circulate the same information, speak in the same manner, and even get the same results. One-minded single-patterned societies become futile soon and their wombs get dry. They never give birth or reproduce and soon die. Therefore, I wish we would realize this soon and I do urge all NGOs to work on solving this problem and helping people out with these killing patterns. We need to diversify cultural resources and sources of information that should be accessible to all people to activate social life and cut loose with lethal fixed patterns. During our age of social and cultural liberty, all cultural resources were freely accessible to everyone without any restrictions or intimidation.

We used to be an open society filled with all forms of giving, creativity and talents. We used to have good poets, outstanding actors, elite athletes, creative musicians, enchanting signers, distinctive writers, smart journalists, well-aware patriotic politicians and enlightened thinkers. Our societies were productive and renewable. They were happier and more stable then. We only started going backwards when one single ‘voice’ started dominating everything and the result is the current disasters and social diseases we are suffering from.
