I had another dream. But this time it was about two great nations living apart, harmoniously, in two villages. Life was enjoyable and there was no sign of conflict. Their farming and commercial lives were thriving. They would visit each other with gifts and share the joy of life together. Everything seemed to be perfect.

One fine day, the Supreme Being's alter ego—being a former minder—approached the Supreme Being and challenged man's commitment to his creator. The Supreme Being—being all caring—decided to give his alter ego a hearing. And so his alter ego narrated to him how man was pretentious. He claimed that man would sacrifice his relationship with the Supreme Being, if certain things were introduced to him. The Supreme Being, being a jealous God, decided to test this theory and allow his alter ego to prove his claim. While his alter ego was compiling the tests, the Supreme Being figured out how the tests would proceed. They would have man walk through the traps, set out to ensnare him, but have no clue or suspicion that they were traps.

A lot of temptations were, as a result, introduced into the world that pit man against his maker. And as of today, the results are still very inconclusive. But the Supreme Being hasn't given up. He believes that one day his alter ego will get back and tell him that it was only a matter of time before “every creature” went back to him; for love and guidance. The Supreme Being knew very well, that without man siding with anything evil, even his alter ego will eventually get lonely and call out to him. And so the onus is on man to end his bred calamities.

Very few things bring out the ills of man more than wars. No wonder, the US president, Barrack Obama has already bagged "the Obama peace prize, for his efforts since taking office!" We've read of vicious wars in Africa and other parts of the world that have involved so much macabre deeds that we soon hope to forget. From the world wars to civil wars, the annals of wars are replete with gruesome deaths, destruction and suffering; yet man on many occasions has been unable to learn from history and will readily go to war whenever they disagree. What a great folly; even with the spectacle that is the Obama peace prize!

Isn’t it very odd that after all these years, man has still not fully adopted a less destructive and agreeable alternative to solving his conflicts; when diplomacy fails. Blood has still got to be shed once in a while—in many places on earth—until one of the grieving parties gives in. One would have thought that, in the absence of a diplomatic settlement these days, some other lesser destructive conflict-resolution method would have been devised by now. After all, we are more interdependent these days, thanks to some clever force, perhaps.

Iran's scientists have always been under-pressure from their bosses; to complete their nuke program. And it's not them that came up with the axiom on “where there's a will, there is a way.” You can choose to see it in any color but the truth of the matter is that some of the people who are anti-WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) are also the same people who possess them. With Barrack Obama's recent initiatives to reduce nuclear stockpiles with Russia, I see some ray of light in the tunnel. Add the Obama Peace prize, and it seems we’re really taking the right turns now, though very slowly.

But the truth of the matter is the same people who come up with these weapons are the same people, who leak the technology to their competitors or enemies. In short, they are fueling the fires that threaten to burn them.

It's a rather ludicrous and confusing situation. Imagine five households busy making weapons to protect themselves against one another. In the streets, they exchange pleasantries, but behind the scenes, it's the spying, lying and treachery that is calling the shots. Now imagine a scenario where materialism is injected into the situation. One child from one of the families wants a Porsche for his birthday but his folks won't budge. Can you imagine one possible way this child can get his Porsche?

And so the families above will continue inflating their egos, until an explosion eventually happens sometime time later. The same applies to the arms-race. It will continue, unless something radical or sensible happens. It’s like driving at night. One ought to be aware of on coming traffic, right? “Dim your lights, damn it,” we silently say; failure of which makes us switch back our headlights to full-beam!

Considering man's inclination to using his wit to achieve bad ends, one day, all that one needs to do to destroy this earth is to send a wrong signal e.g. a false missile strike like in the movie, “If Tomorrow Comes.” In this film, the main antagonist fixes China and the British on a warpath so as to make a few more millions and get back at china for denying him media rights.

In the days or yore, if someone lied to trigger a war, I guess it would never be life-threatening; at least not in the global sense. Things could be kept under wraps for as long us they needed to be. With today's mass media and daring journalism, it can take just minutes to turn people into monsters.
Unless man wakes up and realizes his folly in all this, the thirty minutes of man's annihilation could be orchestrated by an army, country or even just one man. It could be planned or purely coincidental. That's according to man, I must add. It could be caused by somebody in a powerful position getting back at his brother for sleeping with his wife, eating his omelet or even a software program for that matter.

Someone will be pissed off somewhere. He will stock up his bunker, lock himself in it and set the world on fire for thirty minutes. It's a possibility worth thinking of; especially if you hold a stake in the murky world of world politics. If man can fly a, three-hundred-ton, piece of metal in the skies, then how hard is it to start world war three using programs? To add worry to this theory is the emergence of those suddenly rich individuals. Overnight millionaires, is it! Someone once said that if you put a beggar on horseback, he will ride to the devil. And you all know that it's possible for a beggar to pick money or even win a lottery.

With all these millionaires out there, all it could take is a clever mind, a fat pocket and a fatal chemical reaction in his brain. Whether he will be bitter at his wife, friend, or even erectile dysfunction, doesn't matter. What will be of grave concern is what he will decide to do. At this juncture, I am thinking about that one famous millionaire, living in a cave and waging a war against the world's, “so called,” only remaining super-power. If “one man” can wage a war against a super power for even a month, let alone years, then don't talk to me about impossibility.

Well, while the world's annihilation could be edging closer and closer like a thief in the night, a Supreme Being and company might be sitting at the edge of their seats, excitedly, watching it all. It seems “plant and pay off” was not invented in Hollywood after-all! Maybe it was introduced through Hollywood, so that we could be “edutained” to remove our blinders and be able to connect the dots and perform "The Grand Counter Test" in the nick of time!

I once heard once heard that they ways of the lord are mysterious. So what I write here can be true. That's why I think—like the small ball inside some whistles— someone should be pretty excited at the moment. And at this level you will definitely imagine this world peace day fest.. Or if you're made of rock, then prepare for "The Grand Counter Test
