Contemplative thoughts that infiltrate the mind. |
One hundred and twenty ravenous, hungry dogs whom haven't eaten for three days, whom have been caged were rewarded with human flesh. This is a decision North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un subjected his uncle, Jang Song Thaek to. The brutal killing of his uncle and other party officials were due to Kim Jong's belief that they were trying to subvert his authority. If his mentality is so blinded I would be quick to jump the border to a friendlier country. I would be always looking over my shoulder to make sure my number wasn't next. How do these despots get to this point that life to them is so easy to take just because they don't like the way they look? How can the general populace be subjected to such a regime? Their society has to be brainwashed to be controlled by such an individual that needs to be deposed. I wonder if the populace walks around with blinders? They must live in fear not knowing what each day is going to bring. I'm glad that I live in a country where I have a bountiful supply of freedom. I am privileged to have been born in the USA; therefore, I can't imagine the hardships that other people are subjected to. I can't even sympathize or understand what these people deal with each day. I would love to sit down with a large majority of the North Korean populace, and ask them what they think of their country. I'm not sure what answers I would get, or if silence would tell me everything. I'm positive silence would probably be the result. I would gather they would be afraid of making any comments that would be against their government. That would surely be the individuals demise. I wish these folks would have freedoms like I do. I don't know what I would do if my freedoms were restricted. I know the USA isn't perfect, but there is so much to be proud of. I'm glad my government won't feed me to the dogs because I say something about the countries leaders. I believe I have a lot of numbers left in my future, and won't have to worry when my number is up. I'm happy to say that I won't have to worry about our leaders becoming despots. I believe their will be a mutiny if that happens. The sad fact about North Korea is that their leader will continue to dispatch people. He will be judged by a higher power when his time comes. I hope he comes to a place in his life when he sees the error of his ways. I hope he would take a long look at his life, and contemplate what his legacy has become. May God have mercy on his soul. |
