A litle story

[the SovieT]

Once upon a time in a distant place, there were 3 brothers...
The first one, the older, stronger than 5 man, with muscles bigger than wheels was the guardian of the family...
The second one, the intelectual, a smart man, a great leader capable of analysing and criticising complicated works of complicated authors.. he was the smart brains of the family..
And then there was the litle brother, a small, simple man, a calm quiet with no strong characteristics or abilities of some sort, not very atracitve nor a great student, he was just a member of the family for most people...

One time the tree brothers were on a long walk and they saw a orange tree..
The first brother took a branch, with it he made a spear and said "with this spear I shall protect our family, with this spear I shall fight evil and build a better world!"
The second one took a orange and said "with this orange i shall feed myself, most of all I shall feed my brain, that will came up with a new theory and idea to help people, with this I shall build a better world!"
The last one took a orange, opened it and took a seed..
the other brothers laughed, and asked him why didnt he took anything of value or of some use..
Then the litle brother said.
"THis seed I shall cheerish, I will give it my atention and time, I will give my love to this litle seed, I will water it and protect it, and then, from it a new tree shall be born, a new tree with more oranges, branches and leafs.. with this seed I shall build a better world!"


In that day the two brothers learned a new valuable lesson, a new world isn't built with new complicated theorys, nor with weapons and violence, a better world is built with love, what you do to others reflects on yourself..
If you help the litle and week, if you give your time, love and care, you shall be blessed with love and care.
With litle yet at the same time huge actions like this one, you build a new world..

It's litle actions like that one that make this world a bether place, you give love, you take love... as simple as that..






And this is the simple philosophy of love...

(Do you then reject the "theories" of Anarchism and/or Communism???)

That was a GOOD STORY.

Why didn&#39;t the smart one see the seed? This one perplexes me...Is it because he is absorbed with himself, a detriment to most intellectuals?

"Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand. Anyone, may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice, by an intense inner life."
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, 1910-1997

It&#39;s the little things that we often overlook at is what really matters most.

No

i never rejected the Marxist-Leninst theory...

As for the inteligent one, he is representing the upper classes, the intelectuals in power, who most of the time see the seeds yet are more concerned with the oranges themselfs if you know what I mean...




I never said that there were no capitalists or nazis on my story, the contrary, notice how the first concern of the big brother is creating a spear.....
Yet I still think that it is more important to show some love before resorting to violence, yet I&#39;m not pacifist to the extreme of believing that you shouldn&#39;t resort to violence if you are attacked first...

to clear this out, i am totally in favour of armed resistence against imperialism..
I just think that most of the times, love and peace are more important than strenght and violence...
