On the day that is supposedly the date of one of the greatest national victories of my country, I wake up in the gloomiest mood ever, from last night's news about the death of Steve Jobs*. I am mourning an x-CEO of a corporation that has changed the definition of technology to the world. However it is still one of the largest capitalistic corporations that is a part of the greatest ongoing human scam; the monetary system. It is also a corporation that is adding, with its products manufacturing process, to the pollution of this dying planet. A corporation that belongs to a country that has the largest share in percentage of world military spending. A corporation of a country's imperialism that has military bases and installations in over 55 countries worldwide.
However I should remember that I'm not mourning a corporation or a country, neither has fallen down. I am rather mourning a person who used to be one of their pillars upon which they stood.
It is the "greatness" of such man, that makes one so sad for his early departure from this life. I do not know what kind of man, as a human, he was. I know as a mind, he sure was one for the histories to remember and recall for centuries to come. I pray, despite of what my beliefs tells me, that God may have mercy on him. I am not to judge what happens to him next anyway. Who is anyone to judge?
May God have mercy on his soul and all souls; dead and alive.
