Ecumenism In Blood...
Today
people in the world reflect upon the crucifixion and resurrection of
our Lord.
But,
in light of the tragic massacre of Christian college students in
Kenya on Thursday, and the ongoing threat against humans in other
nations, on Easter and passover I just wanted to remind all to
reflect upon the crucifixion, beheading, stoning, enforced
slavery, sexual abuse, human trafficking, harassment, bombing and
displacement of hundreds of thousands of people and Christians whose
faith alone has made them a target of religious fascism...
Many
lives have been utterly destroyed in nations such as Iraq, Syria,
Libya, Pakistan, India, Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria... and the Religious
fascists everywhere are pushing hard to suppress FREE THOUGHT and
HUMAN TOLERANCE everywhere... Be it in U.S. and in North America...
in Europe and the Middle East and Africa... and Asia...
It
is a weekend of celebration for Christians and Jews... and it should
be a weekend of reflection for all humanity in the Global Village...
What has happened in Ukraine and in the Middle East and in Africa...
is sub-human... it is not humane... Even if we are not Christian or
Jew... what is happening in the world is NOT WHAT HUMANS ARE SUPPOSED
TO DO...
But,
as long as, GREED and individual PROFIT are the motivating forces
which propagate and metamorphose society in time and space... then
things will not change... If we do not learn from history things will
not change... If we do not condemn past atrocities and genocides...
things will not change... if Turkey does not reconcile itself with
the Armenian Genocide which they committed, Turkey will not be a
civilized society... As long as the U.S. and NATO-West and Russia and
Russia-East do not halt their pecking of Ukraine... and leave the
Ukrainian people to create and re-create in freedom... the West and
the East and the North and the South will not themselves be
free... They should stop picking on smaller nations and stop their
homogeneous political culture... As long as the Islamic-Jihadists do
not stop their murderous march; as long as they do not halt the
massacres of minorities and Christians... they themselves will
neither be free nor believers in Islam... As long as the Islamic
atrocities do not stop in North Africa and Nigeria and Somalia... the
Islamic- fascists-Jihadists will not be humanized...
The
world will be a much better place... if humans adopt a new culture of
helping each other and leaving in harmony in communities... and this
Easter and Passover... it just starts with us... ONE PERSON AT A
TIME...
Reflect
and celebrate...
***
People Cheat... When everyone is an island by itself... and when GREED is the driving force that propels society in Time and Space... When profit is the aim for our existence and well being... When piles of accumulated riches is the definition of success and witness to our "rat race"... then, people will commit atrocities, people will wage war... people will massacre and commit crimes against humanity and genocides will not be eliminated from human existence... and history in Time and Space...
But,
People will not cheat when we initiate a cooperative world community... where people share and help each other...
Of course people cheat in various ways...
Check the students in India...
Parents are climbing up the windows to help the students who are writing exams in the government center...
These are a sample of the "cheat sheets" gathered from the students...
Photojournalist Dipankar, who took the photos in Saharsa district in India says when he went into the examination hall and began taking pictures, the students did not seem worried at all...
Parents and friends of students were photographed climbing school walls to pass on answers.

Cheating in exams is fairly common in the Indian state of Bihar and in the rest of India... but new images have emerged which show just how large-scale and blatant the practice is.
As a result of the wide spread cheating, about 300 people have been arrested in the state of Bihar in India... But the blatant cheating in exams have become a social ritual... and "accepted" norm for writing exams...
Many of those arrested were parents and at least 750 students have been expelled.

Cheating is prevalent and as long as Big Brother is motivated by GREED and accumulation of riches is the social raison d'etre of existence...
Maybe when we learn to live in peace and in harmony with nature... Maybe when we share and help each other... then the individual drive to be "better than the Johns'... will subside and people will be happier, less stressed out... and not depressed ...

And in the U.S. of A.
Former Atlanta educators jailed in test cheating scandal...

Former Atlanta educators jailed in test cheating scandal...
Check the educators in handcuffs and in custody...
Investigators
said the educators worked together, sometimes holding "erasure
parties" or "erasure dinners", sometimes working
alone, to correct answers on the Criterion-Referenced Competency
Test. The cheating robbed students, who were passed up to the next
grade without being prepared to succeed, and caused the schools to
miss out on grants that could have provided tutoring or other help
for those who were failing.
Investigators said Dr. Hall, who died on March 2, “created a culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation.” Beverly Hall was named the "2009 Superintendent of the Year." She was later indicted for cheating before dying of cancer in 2015.
People CHEAT... and Big people cheat on a larger scale...
American Universities each... and their athletic programs are Duty Free Zones of corruption and cheating...
When demonstrators adopted "Black Lives Matter" I told myself... What about the athletic programs of universities...!
Indeed Black lives Matter... and they should not be treated as the Roman gladiators in arenas entertaining people...
The U.S. athletic culture is driven by obscene GREED and blasphemous PROFIT... It has nothing to do with education
Check
the scandal at the University of North Carolina... It involved
thousands of athletes who, over 18 years, were funneled into classes
that never met, where advisers fudged grades and accepted plagiarism
so that athletes who were falling behind in class could remain
eligible to play sports.

And
cheated students initiated a lawsuit...
In its response to the lawsuit, the Athletic Association writes that it has no legal responsibility "to ensure the academic integrity of the courses offered to student-athletes at its member institutions." After all, it is the responsibility of the universities...
Also
on its website, the Athletic Association declares: "It's
our commitment -- and our responsibility -- to give young people
opportunities to learn, play and succeed." And adds,
that "in the collegiate model of sports, the young men and women
competing on the field or court are students first, athletes second."
But
when it comes to cheating... the Athletic Association does not take
responsibility... because they are governed by GREED and PROFIT... In
some cases athletes are registered to courses which are fictitious...
to classes which do not exists... of course, other that on paper...
classes where the athletes learn exotic languages like Swahili... Why
do athletes study Swahili beats me...!!!
People cheat... in different forms and in different ways... and as long as our culture is based on GREED and PROFIT... people will imitate the Big Brothers Without Borders... and cheat in colourful and ingenious ways... As long as our culture of GREED and PROFIT persists... wars in the Ukraine and in the Middle East and in Africa... will continue and even escalate...
But,
"We the People..." may change the culture of cheating and greed ... We can definitely find other means of motivating people ... Profit based culture will always dehumanize the humans and promote a civilization based on wars and genocides and cheaters...
It is Easter... It is Passover... It is just another Sunday... and we can change society ONE PERSON AT A TIME... After all is said and done, "We the People..." should govern our destiny and be FREE...
