All Hail Caesar!

Julius Caesar was by far the most influential dictator of the Roman Empire a long time ago. People say he's ruthless, violent, heartless and many more.

Despite the harsh and cruel assumptions made about him, we must not forget that he was a great leader. Conquering nations worldwide, winning wars, saving men, portraying true power.

He fits all the characteristics of a leader should have. But sadly, this powerful image was murdered and back stabbed by his own people and not leaving behind...his stepson.

Why? How can the most powerful public figure at that time be murdered at the hands of his own?

Motive? Jealousy? Hatred? Revenge? Envy?

Or maybe he was killed because of the love for Rome?

By the justification of his killers, yes. It was for the love of Rome and the fear of Caesar getting out of hand.

It was said that Caesar was a man who never gets bored of power. They were afraid that the possibility of Caesar going out hand was high. So they planned an act. Something so sinister that a leader himself would never suspect.

This planned included 60 senators who called themselves Liberators and also included in this scheme was Caesar's stepson Brutus.

 The scene where the Liberators and Brutus attempted to kill Caesar

One by one they came and stabbed Caesar and the last stab was delivered by Brutus. What a shame to have lost a great leader such as Julius Caesar but no one knows, it might be the right thing to do at the moment.

Syllogism is Cool.

For this entry, I've decided to rant about Syllogism.

Wanna know why? Because syllogism is cool.

Before we proceed, do you want to know who is the creator of syllogism?

This guy right here.

His name is Aristotle and he is cool. Jyeah. Haha.

Carrying on with the subject,
syllogism is a kind of logical argument in which one proposition (the conclusion) is inferred from two or more others (the premises) of a certain form.


For example :

Farees is rich.
Rich people are annoying.
Therefore Farees is annoying.

There! Isn't this fun? Haha. Let's try again.

Daniel is Zeus
Zeus has lightning powers
Hence, Daniel has lightning powers.

Ok, enough of being annoying, you guys get the picture right? Haha.
Cheers.

Smarter terms for negative words.

Nothing is perfect. No human is perfect, no animal is perfect, no machine is perfect and no language is perfect either. The content of the English language is not all nice and sweet.

Some words really bring bad and hurtful meanings. But don't fear. The next time we want to comment about other people truthfully even though it hurts, there's a savior. It's called Euphemistic Language.

What is Euphemistic Language?

Euphemistic Language is a tool to smooth over the rough edges of life, to make the offensive inoffensive, and to help make the unbearable bearable. 

For example, instead of saying : Your fat!!!
You can say : I think you've gain weight.

See, it hurts less...

Euphemism can be seen everywhere these days. In movies, conversations, magazines, comics, television shows, radio shows and many-many more!

People implement this method to make things easier and to make their words seem much more pleasant than what they really are. 

Anyway....

Here are some other examples...

 

Jack The Ripper

There are quite a number of serial killers in the world but from my point of view, the most infamous serial killer would be none other than Jack The Ripper.

Jack The Ripper was responsible for various murders in England many-many years ago. It's not only about the number of victims that made him popular but it was the way he murdered his victims.

To basically inform you guys, Jack The Ripper's identity was never really proven therefore his true identity still remains a secret. There are a number of suspects but not enough proof was allocated to bring this serial killer down.

This people above are among the highly possible candidates of Jack the Ripper.

It is said that the possible characteristics of Jack the Ripper is someone who has knowledge of handling a knife with precision, someone who is a psychopath, mentally deranged, a person with in depth surgical skills and many more.

Why so? It's because of they way he killed his victims.

These are the victims of Jack The Ripper also known as The Canonical Five.

They were murdered brutally. Some of them had their throats slit open, organs removed, body parts mutilated, severe wounds and many more.

The search for Jack the Ripper is still on the go despite his death since this happened around 100 plus years before.

Tech Wiz

Pirates of Silicon Valley. An astonishing film about two of the most successful men in the world. Fathers of technology, brilliant minds and also great businessmen. The story of Bill Gates, the pioneer of Microsoft, and Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple Inc. The film tells about the process of these two companies rising towards the top and how they are connected to each other.

I'm actually quite shocked when I watched this movie yesterday during our movie screening. I didn't know that the both of these influential figures had high temper. From my point of view, leaders are supposed to be patient, kind, understanding etc2. Nevertheless, in this movie, both characters portray a role which is contrast to the points which I've stated above, especially the kind and understanding part.

Even though this movie is full of negative vibes, I have to agree with one thing. When dealing with business, ones mind must be quicker than the competitor. For example in this film, the way Bill Gates steals the idea from Steve Jobs and manipulating with it thus making his product a much more valuable asset to be sold to the world. Steve Jobs is an intelligent man but for me, Bill Gates would be the most ultimate tycoon. Using his cunning mind to manipulate a competitor to make profit is just smart.

In conclusion, I've learned that in doing business, one must be very smart, quick to outdo the rival, be cunning and always have the advantages in ones hands. Cheating as we know it is not a good thing to do but in order to survive in this vast world, some considerations must be put to thought.

The Pianist

The Pianist is a film directed by Roman Polanski based on a true story of a professional pianist named Wladyslaw Szpilman. Szpilman was a pianist who plays for radio stations and restaurants. On top of that, Szpilman and his family were Jews living in Warsaw during the start of WW2. This story shows on how Szpilman went through some tough times during the German invasion in Warsaw. In this movie, we can see the cruelty of the Nazis towards to Jewish community at that time. Jews being murdered again and again despite no harm was demonstrated by the Jews. In my opinion, some of the acts in this movie portrayed by the Nazis were absolutely disgusting. I do believe that the Jews might harm the world's economy and having a conspiracy of their own, but to label the Jews with armbands, throwing an old man out the balcony is just pure evil.

A scene in the movie where some of the Jews are about to be killed.

Apart from the violence, viewers may rate this movie as a very emotional piece. I myself shed a few tears when I was watching from a different view away from the others. One may also benefit some values from this film as it shows the ups and downs of life, what it feels like to be separated from ones family by force, to live in hunger, poor shelters and many more. From my point of view, this film has taught me a lot. It is a very good piece and I recommend that you watch it, if you haven't that is.

Secret Societies

There are many secret societies in this world and many are known. Despite the existence of these societies, some give benefits, while some does not. Examples of a secret society include The Mafia, Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza, 18 TOP etc2. Those are the ones that are known but the ones who have been here the longest and has effectively covered their tracks. Some say they are a myth, while some can point out to the evidence that they are around us. What do we know about them? We have all heard stories. The Knights Templar, checkered floors, ladders, angles and many more.

The Illuminati

Freemasons

The Illuminati / Free Masons
These are secret societies that has been established since the 17th century and has been with us all the time.
It is said that the objective of these secret societies is to control and dominate the world's economy. They work very deviously in order to get their objectives done.

They intend to create a new world order in which they'll control.With an estimated 6 million members in their society. Probably one of the most biggest secret societies to ever walk the planet.
As cunning people, they believe in many things that are not normal.

Checkered Floors

The Eye of Horus

These are some of the things that they believe in. Checkered floors are needed for the rituals that they conduct and the eye of Horus is said to be their god. The Illuminati / Free mason signs are everywhere. For example the checkered floors which I've mentioned earlier, a pentagram, ladders, the all seeing eye (Horus).

American 1 Dollar Note

Notice the eye on top of the pyramid? That's the all seeing eye a.k.a the eye of Horus. The writing "Novus Ordo Seclorum" means "New World Order" similar to the objective of the Illuminati / Free Masons.

The word Annuit Coeptis means Providence has favoured our undertakings. 

The Illuminati / Free Masons are seen as a threat to everyone is some eyes. Some say its real while some people don't believe in such a thing.
