[ALBSA-Info] NYTimes.com Article: Seizing Dictatorial Power

[Artin Spahiu]

Endri pershendetje,

Pa dashur te shpreh qendrimin personal per ceshtjen ne
vetvete thjesht po shkruaj dicka parimore. 
Eksistenca e nje ekstremi sherben shpeshhere per te
ballancuar ekstremin tjeter. Ligjet natyrore priren
drejt ekuilibrit. Shoqeria njerezore ka evoluar nga
ekspansionizmi/kolonizmi ne imperializem dhe deri ne
shoqerine moderne qe perben nje rezultante midis atyre
ekstremeve dhe vlerave moralo-"naive", kjo balance
eshte me efikase se cilido nga ekstremet. Amerika
eshte sinteza me e mire e ketij shembulli, hipi-te e
viteve 60-70 paten nje rol shume te rendesishem ne
politiken e jashtme amerikane dhe shoqatat pacifiste
apo te te drejtave te njeriut dhe ato ambientaliste
luajne rol shume te rendesishem ne vendimet e ndryshme
politike apo ekonomike. Ka qene roli i tyre qe ka bere
shoqerine e sotme te fokusohet dhe te vleresoje
gjithnje e me shume vlerat e individit. 
Zhvillimi shoqeror nuk ka ardhur thjesht si pasoje e
imperializmit apo ekspansionizmit, ato kane qene me
teper bashkuedhetare me te si shume dukuri te tjera,
se sa krijues te tij ne vetvete. Prania e ketyre
dukurive ne shekuj shpeshhere na ben ne, qe ne menyre
te pavetedijshme ti identifikojme ato me progresin
njerezor. Sidoqofte une mendoj qe cdo gje e merr
kuptimin e saj ne nje periudhe kohe te caktuar, pas te
ciles humbet vleren dhe zhduket nese nuk eshte e
nevojshme, ose mbahet dhe vleresohet nese eshte
jetike. Po ashtu si kuptimi, edhe vlera e gjerave
ndryshon ne kohe. Si psh vlera e te drejtave te
njeriut ose edhe jetes se tij ne fund te fundit.
A eshte nje gje e tille nje shkop ne rroten e madhe te
njerezimit. Koha deri tani e ka pranuar rehatshem, dhe
eshte vetem ajo qe do te vendosi per kete gje. 
Me pak fjale Xhuliana mund te jete cdo gje perfshire
edhe "The enemy within" (bej shaka), por ajo nuk eshte
hipokrite sepse beson ne ate qe thote dhe padyshim qe
e ka nje ideal perderisa e mbron ate. Sigurisht ky
ideal mund te jete i ndryshem nga ai i shumices dhe
prandaj mund ta quash rebele, por per te ka te njejten
vlere qe ka ideali yt per ty, pra fakti qe ideali i
saj nuk ka vlere per ty nuk do te thote qe nuk
egziston, gjerat kane vlera relative per njerez te
ndryshem.
