What is the west doing to Libya that is so wrong?
They're bombing it
Why?
Because they are in the middle of a revolution/civil war
killing is wrong, and bad - we can all agree on that. Gaddafi shouldn't have done what he did - I'm not certain on this one.
Libya is country that has been hit by the revolutionary wave that's swopped the middle easter countries, with people protesting in the streets and shit like that... The problem with Libya when compared with the other revolutionary ones is that, Libya is governed by what seems to be a mad man.
And this mad man doesn't want to leave the power seat or even negotiate a settlement with the\(some of the) people. And so he led the army forces out, to calm down the protests. And then something goes wrong, and both sides start to fighting each other, and turning the protests into a civil war.
(it is saidsg that Gaddafi gave the word to start rumble, which he denied, the world believes that he is lying, but what if he isn't? We live in an age where information [ let me stress information] travel at almost light speed, information not facts, we should really be careful with the difference there)
And so a civil war begun, state vs rebels, the whole world is a bit (more like a lot) partial towards the rebels, because the world seams to think that a dictatorship is always a bad thing, and so the newscasters and news networks showed the devastation and the rebels victories as triumph of good over the evil that is Gaddafi.
After, what I think it was, a week of civil war an western alliance decided to impose some economic penalties to Libya, because they were still fighting (great idea!), so the people that depended on deals such the ones that the penalties don't allow anymore have one of three options, run (on car or foot because the border is close and so it is the airport because no plane can leave the country anymore), die of hunger or die fighting.
The first option is hard to do if you have family and no contacts in the rest of the world. The second is painfully one of the worst deaths you can have, the last is the only option viable if you can't run. So the fights increased.
Seeing this what the western alliance does? They start bombing them. (isn't it fun?)
So let's rewind and synthesize:
Libya is at war with it self;
They haven't bombed or invaded any of the neighbor countries;
They didn't bombed any other nation in the world.
So why did we bombed them?
Just to add to their misery? Couldn't we just close our borders to them, what ever time it was necessary for them to resolve this issue by themselves? Like in the movie terminal
I think maybe, but we didn't.
To end let me say that I believe that no international organizations for "peace" shouldn't intervene until one country's army flat out crosses the boarder, and starts invading the other, like America did in Iraq.
Otherwise we're very close to the end of the world

I though I could use this as therapeutic exercise, a 1st step to grow back to normality. But the first step is not the problem right now, for I have taken many first steps this week, only to be back where it all started.
When facing your fears people often cry that you just have to take the first step, and that it all will come naturally, and it's all bullshit.
Because after the first step comes the second with an option attached, and if you were scared of the first how should you feel on the second, where: you are closer to your fear, and you have the option to instead of going forward, to go back to square one...
I'm not a psychiatrist, nor any other kind of hustler with a magic spell to take care of fears, this is just empirical experience.
The other thing that also troubles me here is the fact that don't know what I'm really afraid of; I only know 2 things, what I hate and what I don't want:
• I Hate people, all of them.
• I don't want to be addicted to some sort of smoothing drugs, like alcohol or weed.
So if any of you son's of Freud know what's wrong with me besides depression , give me a shout out, my address is Square 1 avenue. Just beside the gates of Hell

It's scary to resume something to a single line with two extremities, fear or love, is that the whole story? Maybe, and maybe so we are only one dimentional characteres trying to explore imaginary numbers in a solly real world.
P.S.: when this was only a 190 characters comment twitter asked me to be smarter, so I was.
