I'm Thinking of Ending Things






I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS

A thought is closer to truth than an action








That was a disturbing way to end things!





Ibn Khaldun said in his "MOKADIMAH" that "the human is a social creature", he needs to connect and interact with others, it is crucial for him in order to survive and keep on going in life.
We shape our actions and sayings to be able interact with our surroundings; to fit in. They are our efforts to belong to society. Inb Khaldun was right, the human brain is programmed to socialize, therefore our actions need to be an interpretation of those thoughts, or else our behavior will be anomalous.

The Memory Police



THE MEMORY POLICE..SAVE YOUR SOUL






It is one of those books that stick on your mind! Ironically the story of the book is about loosing memories, while it is geniusilly written to be an " unforgettable memory".
The title and the cover give you the impression that it will be a complicated political dystopia, so you kinda expect some action. Instead, you'll find yourself in a slow paste read, with only couple of events that keep happening again and again until the end of the book. From out of the blue things disappear, so people must get red of them and forget that it ever existed, those who do not forget will be arested by the memory police and never go back, they disappear too.
But don't give up on the book just yet. Towards the end things start getting frightening and only then you would get the message.
It is a waking call to the subconscious mind, to fight, to resist and to stick up for a person's soul, being so fragile and vulnerable as it the essence, it needs protection otherwise it is going to vanish.
