Mugabe and the Tree of Knowledge
Mugabe is a man who controls Zimbabwe. He believes what he does is right without considering the other aspects of the situation. He is probably cognizant of what he has done to the people of Zimbabwe, but unfortunately, he is convinced that Zimbabwe is on the right track even when its inflation rate has reached 11 million percent. He thinks he has tasted the tree of knowledge, the knowledge of right or wrong. Maybe the saying that absolute power equals to absolute corruption is right.
Frankly, I am appalled by the article. The situation in the Zimbabwe is so bad and Mugabe still thinks that everything is fine. I can't believe that a man with such great power is so out of his mind. He thinks he is the God of Zimbabwe and has the right to do anything he wants. Mugabe is crazy. He fought for freedom before and now he fights against it. As Mugabe gained power, he probably became conscious of what power could do. As time passed, as he gained more and more power each day, he began to think of himself as the God.
What Mugabe is doing in Zimbabwe is totally unacceptable. He's slaughtering people who go against him. The fact that there are people in Zimbabwe who are willing to support Mugabe's ferocious attempts perturbs me. I am also upset about the fact that other nations are not doing anything effective. Sooner or later, for Zimbabwe, Mugabe will become the God of Destruction. He will destroy Zimbabwe if things keep on going like this. With inflation rate as high as 11 million, I don't see how this nation can survive in the future.
It's interesting to think about it, Mugabe was like Nelson Mandela, a hero. Now, one is still respected as a hero, one is considered as a devil. In my opinion, no man should own the true knowledge of right and wrong or image he does. It's always not to late to admit one's faults. I hope Mugabe will admit the fact that he has not tasted the Tree of Knowledge and what he has done is totally wrong.
p.s
It's really random, but maybe Obama can do something about this when he moves into the white house? ha ha

I agree with you in saying that no man should own the true knowledge of good and evil. I think good and evil are hard enough to define as they are. What may be good to one person may not be good to another.
I also agree with you in saying that it's never too late to admit one's faults. Instead of clinging onto what little is left of Zimbabwe, Mugabe should really admit that he has done horrifying things to Zimbabwe and its people. Maybe in admitting he was wrong, he will stop.
Because of Obama, things are really going to change in the US, hopefully and very probably for the better. Maybe it's time for Zimbabwe as well!
I think Obama has enough to do with the US alone. It sounds cruel, but if the US crashes, then it's pointless to say things about 'Oh, the US should do something.' I think the US should stabilize first, then start thinking about helping others.
