I don't have a writers' block

What I have are timing issues. While doing the most mundane things, my mind keeps going back to the the events of my life. All the moments when I have been happy. And all the (many more) moments when I have been sad. And I think of all the things that I would write, if I had a pen paper at that moment.


But then life catches up and I focus back to the job at hand. And all those beautiful things vanish from the mind. So I don't have a writer's block. I have timing issues.


Take for instance, the events in Norway from a month or two ago. I wonder what Anders is thinking about right now. I have had time to analyse it and there are so many (questions and answers) that came to mind. Perhaps I should write about it someday. But the sea of political correctness and liberalism is nauseating. Being an immigrant, it might even be detrimental.


Do you think Anders knows that there are people out there who understand his point of view? Even if they may not agree with the actions he took. His must be a loneliness. I can connect with that...

how could be people be so selfish that they are just concerned about their pain, sadness and loneliness.

the other option is take on the world's pain. And you will never be happy. Focusing on your own, at least gives the hope of being happy. Even if for a short while.

Its not being selfish. Its being pragmatic.

not saying take on world's pain, ordinary people can't do this.
my view point was in context with what Anders did, as you said it must me his loneliness you can relate to. For his loneliness, he broke so many hearts and made so many people lonely for their lifetime. I agree that your country should be your priority, but If he was so much pro-european culture why did he do this mayhem in his own homeland, he should have gone other way. No body is going to say he is a Hero.

Good point. Here is the caveat, though. He is not concerned about other countries and just wants his own way of living to be left undisturbed. Which is why he did not spread mayhem in other countries.
This tells me that he is not bothered about changing other countries. He is only focused on preserving Norway/Europe (while he still can).

The loneliness that I refer to is the one that consumes him Now (after the event). The fact that he may not be aware that there are people out there who 'get' him.
There was no loneliness that drove him to do this. It was the knowledge of what the future beholds, if things continue the way they do currently (note his comment on Pakistinization of Europe).

Finally, why did he choose the liberals in his own country? - its a simple explanation. If you are at war and you realize that the enemy is united and focused, BUT your own camp has a group of people with sympathy for the enemy, it is your own camp within that you must deal with first.

Once there is a unity in objective within your own camp, you can focus on expelling the enemy.

Finally, you say "Nobody is going to say he is a Hero". You think that way, because You don't treat him as one. May I humbly request not to speak on behalf of everyone else?
Alexander was a bloodthirsty invador at one point of time. With time, with hindsight, opinions change. And should any of Anders fears start coming true (which they are), you never know...


PS: You are a good man Renz, may you remain happy. The above are just my thoughts as to what has happened.
