If we could learn to look instead of gawking,
We'd see the horror in the heart of farce,
If only we could act instead of talking,
We wouldn't always end up on our arse.
This was the thing that nearly had us mastered;
Don't yet rejoice in his defeat, you men!
Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard,
The bitch that bore him is in heat again.
- BERTOLT BRECHT: Arturo Ui
History teaches but who is listening, eh? We have to experience everything for ourselves. Is this what they mean when they say that all that you think or do has already been thought or done in history? Though Brecht wrote his play with reference to Hitler, I wonder whether it was restricted to him or the larger beast within. For some reason, this reminded me of the movie "Anaconda" where the large beast moves silently through the large waters barely creating a ripple till it launches its fury.

So Osama is back again. I hope they take him seriously this time. On another note, I am working to make a change from Financial Services to Energy and Green Initiatives now. That's going to be the next big thing methinx.
