Bombing in London
Horrible day for the English. Especially after winning the rights to hoist Olympics 2012 on Thursday.
It is also a sad day for all muslims if the explosions are indeed linked to islamic causes.
Religious extremism could have happened to any religion. Luckily most religions turned out fine.... so far...
I noitced a gradual return to conservativeness in perspectives and religions around the world. Is the world morphing at such speeds that humans are looking to values and history for guidance? What exactly are they scared or worried about? Is the social landscape lapping behind the economic and technological advancement by too many rounds?
As we progress technologically, we find out more things. The more things we find out, the more sceptical we are of our present world view. Coupled with economic freedom, we now have the means to push or break out of the comfort zones of oneself and that of the society. Is conversativeness a backlash against the unstoppable and uncontrolled social change or the unpredictable future?
Personally, there is no such thing as being too liberal. By definition, being liberal means having no boundaries. But conservativeness is about boundaries.
Experiences, history and norms can be our guiding light / reference to exploring our questions about the unknown and chaotic future. But these should not be mistaken as our "answers".
