WHY I WRITE: Our forefathers fought some mindless battles but never like this. They needed a battalion to fight a battalion. We need only A HUNDRED ANGRY VILLAGERS from anywhere in the world to terrorise nations inhabited by hundreds of millions of people, no matter how sophisticated. This because of things that we created with our OWN HANDS, namely dirty bombs, chemicals weapons, Suicide Belts and the rest of it. Are we to CURE this problem or PREVENT it from becoming the norm? Prevention, as we all know, is better than cure. And that's where philosophy comes in: It helps prevent problems before we end up spending billions of pounds and dollars looking for their cure.
We’ve come to have 9/11 AND 7/7, namely, the bombings of New York and London respectively. And we’ve had the Massacre in Madrid. All happened in the name of Religion. Some thus - rightly - asked: “If God exist, how could He let innocent people be killed in all those bombings?” And how can God say there will be a JUDGEMENT DAY, as it says in The Bible, The Koran and The Torah, and then allow some individuals to dictate how others MUST live?
IF THE DEVIL IS THE PROBLEM, WHY WOULD GOD NOT KILL THE DEVIL AND LET US HAVE SOME PEACE?” I decided to abandon everything and find out.
After years of toil, I found SHOULD GOD KILL THE DEVIL, GOD WILL HAVE TO KILL US, HUMANS, TOO. I did not like this answer that I got. But the reasons behind why God cannot kill the Devil, unless He kills us, Humans, too, are PERFECT. They are stated in the story of Dekile in my novel, The Mejai. Since God cannot kill the devil - unless He kills us, Humans, as well - how do we live with Devilish Problems? Drug Addiction, Alcoholism, Gun Crime, Knife Crime, Bullying, Religious Hatred to name but a few are Devilish Problems. THAT'S WHY I WRITE: To put forward ideas needed for fighting Problems that are Devilish in kind and nature. We would need to fight them to know any enjoyment of life.
Once again, Prevention is better than cure. And that's where philosophy comes in: It helps prevent problems before we end up spending billions of pounds and dollars looking for their cure.
