Thought is the most perfect form of the human intelligence, the only being present on the planet with this capacity. It made us dominant, however it costs a high price, because the smarter we are, more dangerous we become.

Maybe thought is the result of the conscious and intelligence, with which we can synthesize all perceptions about all that exist around us, bringing the past and future together.

It is most important to analyze the influences that the thought suffers, including religious, political and economic aspects, because the ideas are not so original as we might imagine. The question is not related only to the freedom to think, because everybody thinks. The question is what we think and what influences our ideas are subjected to.

Analyzing these ideas we tend to conclude that we do not have the freedom that we imagined, because we are connected to a big cultural and historical legacy, leading our thoughts to a predictable result.

To escape from the predictable is an encounter with thoughts uncontaminated by reality, then freedom can be envisioned. As an example we can use the attempt to try another societies way of life. How, if today all of us are impregnated by capitalism. There is no doubt that it will be difficult to exercise our freedom.

Finally it is important to not confuse freedom to think with freedom of expression. Always there was freedom to think, because the ability of thought is the most intimate human characteristic, but sometimes thoughts cannot be expressed freely, because of some particular interests and influences.

The discussion here is the origin of thinking and how much free our thoughts are.

The world is divided! On one side we have the developed and civilized society, however on the other side, we have people without expectation and forgotten by the developed world. Actually, since the capital has become the most precious good of the world, we have this situation.

Today, one more time, we watched in live a cowardice act against innocent people who were going to work. The saddest is that the authors and the victims, do not know what is happening.

We have an unjust world drawn! Somebody has too much and other has little. Some countries have force to impose their wishes, but others have only a escape, to obey to not be isolated and loose the little influence they still have.

From few years to now the way where the oppressed people found to say the massage, is the more coward possible, doing violence against innocents, against the civil people, while the really responsible for the inequalities in the world are protected in their comfortable rooms.

I do not wish to protect the authors of the coward acts, but show that the situation has two sides, where we can see only one, our side, the western side.

Attacks have been occurring every day, but the most of them do not happen in the cosmopolitan cities in the western world, but in some countries which do not have importance in our imaginary. Unfortunately the attacks have been normal followed of boring and predictable news as the situation has become.

We do not still know if it was a calculated act, or it was a coincidence. The attacks happened during the G8 meeting in Gleneagles, Scotland. One day before, London was elected the city to host the olympic games in 2012. Talking about games, I do not believe it was calculated, but about the G8 meeting, it is possible to have a connection, as a way to send a message, so to show the terror is still a shadow hanging the rich countries.

This article has not the objective to express an opinion, but to make a reflection in the day which one more attack happened. It is possible we have it as a routine, because other countries are on the list to be the next to “host” an attack.

The world has become a lottery and in any place, in any moment, we can cease to exist, not by an accident, but by a division we have built.
