Should a Novelist Know All the Answers?

Often a novelist is unable to answer questions about his or her book - about its ultimate meaning, the characters' motives, the plot twists. The writer has tapped into the collective unconscious, and the readers, tapping into that same well, often come up with different conclusions than the author had in mind. Reading is really as creative an experience for the reader as writing is for the writer.

German Memories in Asia - Adam's Peak of Sri Lanka

A visiting German team became familiar to me when we were having dinner at the beach-end restaurant at the Aquarius resort as we were sitting at adjoining tables. They were going to Adam's Peak in a few hours just before midnight as they could reach Adam's peak in the early morning hours of sunrise. Adam's Peak is a beautiful place, which is more divine than mere fun to visit. There were many visitors from around the world who visited Adam's Peak, which is jutting out, sharply skyward from the lush jungles of southwestern Sri Lanka since historical times.

German Memories in Asia - German Royals

My discussion continued with Pascal Sadune and touched on the German royal families and their so-called descendants. He said they were still enjoying many privellages in modern Germany. As an unwritten law, the class differences had emerged well back in medieval times in Germany. In 14th century, early-modern German society gradually came into being as a result of economic, religious and political changes.

German Memories In Asia - Roman Era Europe And West Asia

The early events of Jaffna by the Portuguese recalled the historical events in the Roman era Europe and West Asia. In the course of the centuries the Roman Empire steered into a heavy and lasting crisis. Constant wars for the defense of borders, rising military expenditure, excessive taxes, repressive laws, rampantly growing bureaucracy and all-present corruption - all this undermined the loyalty of the Romans and provincial residents to the Roman state. The taxes were so high that many citizens had to work for the state for most of the year, while only a little was left for themselves. The Roman citizens had turned into slaves of the state and they didn't care after sometime whether their ruler and oppressor was a Roman or a victorious Germanic conqueror.

German Memories - Ancient Germans Migration

Even during the second and fifth centuries as the western Roman Empire lost military strength and political cohesion, numerous Germanic tribes migrating en masse in far and diverse directions, taking them to England and as far south through present day Continental Europe to the Mediterranean and northern Africa passed on the beneficial Germanic genetic elements to other tribes. The Germanic tribes intruded into other tribal territories, and the ensuing wars for land escalated and then the wandering tribes began staking out permanent homes as a means of protection. Much of this resulted in fixed settlements from which many, under a powerful leader. A defeat meant either scattering or merging with the dominant tribe. In Denmark the Jutes merged with the Danes; in Sweden the Geats merged with the Swedes; in England, the Angles merged with the Saxons to form the Anglo-Saxons. Outside of Scandinavia, present-day countries speaking a Germanic language have mixed ethnic roots not restricted to the earliest Germanic peoples. Germanic peoples were often quick to assimilate foreign cultures.

Education, Population Growth and HIV-AIDS in Third World Nations Discussed

The humanitarian crisis that we face World Wide is simply too much to handle sometimes. With the spread of HIV-AIDS in Africa, Central America, Asia and South America one has to wonder if there is even a god. Well, finally and luckily the Catholic Church and condom issues are changing and I could not agree more with some of the comments of those NGO leaders who pointed to this huge issue decades ago. Still in Africa most do not use condoms and thus HIV-AIDS is such a high percentage that there is no hope.

Kampung Improvement Plan Project - A Success but it will Not Work Everywhere

You cannot put a square peg in a round hole and humanitarian efforts are never a one size fits all. It is entirely obvious to me that for far too long we have been taking academia solutions to humanitarian crisis far too seriously. To often we take academic credentials at too high a face value, as we allow these experts to dictate policy. What is really needed is some tough love.
