Light in the Dark

“It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.”

This symbolizes that the tree is the Burmese citizens and the sun shines
through and spreads it rays of light like Aung Sang Suu Kyi and the
Junta is the Earth being pressured by the rest of the country when they are
stretched thinly and destroyed by the Democracy.

This quote is a masterpiece! Not only does it look good but I captures the military government's way of ruling and in here own quote Aung Sang Suu Kyi is the scourge of power and the Junta are afraid of her as they are the have power and fear for losing it. The Junta must also see her as corruption to the people because the people of Burma are subject to her speeches. Her own words could be turned against her but even the Junta won't do that to her. Sure they might lock her up for fifteen years but they would never turn the entire country against her, and why? Because she is the scourge of power and if they go against her she will bring her full will to bear and woe betide any who is subject to it. This one saying could undo all that she has worked for if played right but they can't because they are scared. Its called being gun shy and that is why she is still spreading her influence to take control of the Junta and have peace in her country and I believe that she will succeed. Whether it be tomorrow or not until the end of the world, she will succeed in her long journey to freedom and love.

No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

This picture really touched me because of the face
speaking to the world, I thought of the face of John Donne
speaking and think it symbolizes a spark, just like Fatmire Feka.

Is mankind no island? I don't believe so. It says If a man dies mankind is less and I agree with that but in this part it says Europe is the less. Europe! It only says Europe which implies that Europe is and island and with its history it has reached out to other countries. So this poem made me think "If it only mentions Europe, what about the other continents?" Well I think this means that mankind should be one but it will take a while to get to other continents. Mankind is not a continent but if we were a continent it would be a better world because we are always fighting, murdering and committing Genocides. Mankind is an island but if we commit to world peace, every last one, then John Donne will have had his dream come true at last.

What is Identity?

This picture is merely a summary of white people and black people. Like in the blokes white people  are the center while black are the outliers but when Jesus Colon intrudes it creates quite a bit of confusion and generates the red in this picture.

Jesus Colon, a man on a train who turned away. One night Jesus Colon was on a train and was wondering if he should help this white lady or not. He chose not to because he is black. I believe that he had good reasons and bad reasons to help that lady. Was it because of ethnic difference or racism I don't know but I know that I have been in the same situation, not ethnically but just personality difference. Last year there was a boy named Jakob, he always undid my work and when I finally hit back he responded with all his strength. Was it right of me to hit him, no but there is a saying and it goes 'To pardon one offence is to commission many more.' This quote i'm not sure where it came from but it sums up the fact that Jesus Colon has probably had experiences like this before and when he chose not to help it was merely and act of caution, of course he could have asked to help her and that would have helped but the fact that he is self aware is enough for him not to help, even if it was the wrong thing to do.
