“With his decision to use force against the violent extremists of the Islamic State, President Obama ... is stepping once again - and with understandably great reluctance - into the chaos of an entire civilization that has broken down. Arab civilization, such as we knew it, is all but gone. The Arab world today is more violent, unstable, fragmented and driven by extremism - the extremism of the rulers and those in opposition-than at any time since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire a century ago.” WorldStatesUseTodayForcePresidentDecisionGoneCenturyBrokenCivilizationChaosDrivenViolentIslamicOppositionEmpiresPresident ObamaCollapseRulersExtremismWorld TodayExtremistUnstableFragmentedReluctanceArab WorldBroken DownIslamic StateOttomansOttoman Empire Author:Hisham Melhem

“Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you. Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional. Physical pain is a fact that comes with living, just as illness or financial woes or broken relationships are facts.

“When an unbaked pot is broken, the potter can use the mud to make a new one; but when a baked one is broken, he cannot do the same any longer. So when a person dies in a state of ignorance, he is born again; but when he becomes well baked in the fire of true knowledge and dies a perfect man, he is not born again.” MenWellsPersonsStatesUseDiesBornPerfectFireIgnoranceBrokenPotMudPottersBorn AgainPerfect ManTrue Knowledge Book:Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna: The Most Exhaustive Collection of Them, Their Number Being 1120 Source: Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna: The Most Exhaustive Collection of Them, Their Number Being 1120
