Tragedy is What Makes Us Stronger

We are like animals in many ways.	When we have abundance of food and money…
…we don’t need to exert a lot of effort or thought, as life becomes easy.	We feel safe and secure to the point we ignore the sounds around us.
But when placed in an unsafe environment we realize how lucky we were.	We haven’t obtained the skill to survive, or trained our senses to pick up everything
Like a house cat that needs to survive on the streets ...	..we humans become stronger and tougher under harsh conditions, which is why military training camps duplicate these environments.
But no exercise can beat real-life tragedy and hardship.	Tragedy and struggle are the best schools ever, and their graduates are the survivors
​Like feral animals that can be tamed and dulled by being given free food…	…we humans can also lose our senses and alertness as life becomes easy.…

“We shall test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth and lives and fruits, and give glad tidings to those who are patient ۝t hose who when affliction smites them, they say: we belong to God and to him we will return ۝ those who are upon them the blessing and mercy from their lord and those who are the guided ones.” Quran 2:155-157

One of the Noble Truths in Buddhism is that struggle, failure, suffering, tragedy and hardship are a part of the cycle of life, and that to attain peace one must accept them. In fact, all religions with divine scripts say the same thing, and give the same message. Believe it or not, the funny thing is that the struggle, failure, suffering, tragedy and hardship that we so dread and run away from is the antidote, if we accept it and deal with it , to most of our problems, and is what forges us into better people.

My life changed after being sacked from a job, because I found out that some of the official documents were far from accurate, and some of the people working there were violating rules and regulations. Less than a month later I started to notice that I was being watched and harassed, and that many people in my community were starting to shun and avoid me. I was later informed by a friend that his friend, who had taken my former job, had heard that my former boss was accusing me of terrorism. I am now sure I am being watched , and it is like having an elusive gang stalking and harassing me. I looked up these patterns of behavior on the internet, and found others like me from all kinds of different backgrounds and religions worldwide in the same situation, and trying to reach out to those who are suffering like them. I thank them for offering whatever useful information they have to help; that is when I first found out about TAT.

After being deceived in my previous job and unofficially labeled as a threat, I have been placed on an observation program by a team known by intelligence agencies worldwide as the Threat Assessment Team (TAT). I know this because ever since I left that job, I have been heavily and constantly watched, defamed, had my properties (car, house, belongings) damaged, and been harassed locally and internationally for the past seven years: it is now December 2022. From my end, it is nothing like an assessment, it is pure harassment. My response was at first “Oh woe is me!”, but I got over it, and then I realized that I needed to change, as my situation had changed. I needed to learn, and fast. I began to read books on various subjects to assist me with my situation. I had to pay more attention to my surroundings, and to analyze the possibilities. Being forced to stand against a group who was invading my life with hostile intentions and backed up with unlimited funds, intelligence and resources was at first like learning how to swim on my own in the middle of the ocean without any floatation device.

Now, hehe… now I see this differently; it is as if the United Nations has decided to elect me as one of the lucky homo sapiens to enter a super, very expensive, perception-enhancement seminar, with real-life people mostly doing their daily real-life things, and not being restricted by location. The best part of all this is that it is all free. Thanks to whoever is doing this to me, who I was back then and who I am now is very different; they have transformed me into someone better, and I really feel like I owe them one big hug.

Ok enough about me,

I read a book as part of my new research that was written by a former CIA agent, as I began to review the events that had happened, and learned about a ploy called “denial and deception”, or D&D. It technically consists of two parts; the first part is arranging a series of facts in a way that gives false perceptions to an observer who is not aware of all the details. This helps the deceiver to create a false perception for the public. The second part of the ploy is blocking all channels to facts that can give or lead to the truth, so that it won’t leak out to the public. According to the book’s author , this scheme has been used since Sun Tzu’s time, and not only by the USA, but by all nations in the world . As I compared this ploy with the events that had turned my life upside down I realized “Yep, they got me good! I’ve been played…” Then I started to think; if this can be used as a cover up for an operation, then what about all the things that we been taught since we were kids? What assures us that our perceptions of reality, our beliefs, our religions and our ways of life have not also been deviated?

This realization is what exactly triggered me to begin this project back in 2016, as I concluded that without certain knowledge and skills, we will fail to notice important things going on in our life, history and the world. Without ample skills of observation, evaluation and exploration we become like beasts, or machines that can be easily manipulated and influenced by others.

You can’t change other people’s beliefs, you can only share with them what you believe; they are entitled to choose whatever they believe. Because you are part of this world, however, if you change, then you are a part of the world’s population that has changed, which proves we can still change the world. Furthermore, when people around you see the positive change in you, or in your life, you will have indirectly changed them without you or they noticing it; they will subconsciously pick it up from you.

I want to tackle tactics and methods, and not people or events, as focusing on people and events is only useful as examples, and is pointless without learning the real lesson behind things, about the tactics being used. Focusing on individuals also means you will most likely forget about what happened when a new person comes along, and will do the same thing again. Any knowledge in the world can be a double-edged sword, and can be used for good or evil, but one fact will always remain...

To Know is Better Than Not to Know.

Improving yourself is not only for selfish gain. Your change, whether it is in your mindset, wealth, success or attitude, will have a positive effect on your surroundings. Like all animals, we humans consciously and subconsciously learn mostly by watching one another. Your change can also affect the world beyond you and your time; those you have touched, whatever positivity they pick up from you, might also pass it on to others, and the next generation might pick it up from them, and so on.

Change Yourself, And You Change the World with It .
