Dear Mr. Nasser Zaghi:
Hello. Years ago I wrote this poem:
The Great Synthesis
Your socialism -Comrade East!- goes for social equality, leaving out individual Freedom. That is the problem.
And your individualism -Brother West!- goes for individual Freedom, leaving out social Equality. that is the problem.
And the solution? NO!! Let us not argue about the "true" kind of freedom or "false" versions of equality. That will not lead to more freedom or more of equality.
The solution is Justice Equality freely shared And Freedom shared equally- Yes, justice is the solution.Thank you, Comrade East! You have produced the Hydrogen of equality.
Thank you, Brother West! You have produced the Oxygen of freedom.
But now, Humanity thirsts For the pure and purifying water of Justice!
You have both of you, prepared the ground for the Great Synthesis. You have, both of you, paved the highway for Humankind to reach the non-metaphorical, non-metaphysical Heaven of the Humanity beyond you on this Earth.
Thank you both. You have done well. And it is time, therefore, For both of you to go to Hell.
Having acquainted myself with your ideas, I have come to realize that my recipe for future humanity lacks a most vital ingredient:
LOVEI have spoken of freedom as oxygen and of justice as the hydrogen necessary for the vital water of human happiness to come to be. I agree with you now:
Love is the electrical charge that makes the fusion possible. Therefore, please count me as one of your comrades.
YES, sir: I agree LOVE is the Solution!
