I don't really have to write about what's in the book. The title says it all, and may be I'll pick up the second volume of it too.
This was a bit difficult to read initially because I was not able to understand a lot of words which I didn't see earlier, and the ideas were a bit crude but after half of it I was much better with the overall thought. Plus there are some really good instances which make you smile but when you look closer you realise the gravity of those light moments.
But the overarching thought is that all the calamities are man made irrespective of what they are made of. The whole idea of doing something, and getting away with it is so alarming that it puts you into perpetual fear of what can go wrong. The sad part is that you're not even instrumental for it going wrong.
All the atrocities against fellow humans are not justified irrespective of the reason but there had always been the voices which try to bring a counter point which is on the line of two wrongs making one right (I read on earlier and regretted it). It's always unpleasant to hear all the theories which try to justify any hatred against others but or at least dilute the arguments against it.
The other thought was that end of the day all these can be of power or money everything else is just a cover up for the real reason. So next time you hear of any such thing, keep in mind that it doesn't have anything to do with ideology, religion, cast, creed or colour.
My optimism - we're in the best of the world, and it is only going to be better than this.
Peace
