Fallacy of the Occult

It's a fact that Kuwait is a developing country, technologically and socially, however, if it was a living organic entity, I think it would be developing 'bad cells' more than it's developing good ones. But honestly, can you say otherwise about any country? This whole world is on mission to self-destruct :)

Since Kuwait is a small region, every little thing that happens has a strong impact, you'd pass a lot of people discussing one headline in a local newspaper. Whatever happens, It spreads in a heartbeat, …like I said, it affects the whole diminutive place. Not like how it is in the U.S. Sure you'd see a photo of a serial killer on CNN, but hey, it's nothing new, happens everyday. Some people just go numb with time and stop responding.. no big deal.

Back to Kuwait, I'm not talking about the man who splattered his mother's brain with a hammer while she was praying, or the man convicted with multiple-homicide for killing all his children, then trying to commit suicide… no these things do not concern *ME*. Sure they shake some of my perspectives, but they do not interrupt my routine, or change the place where I planned to have lunch! I'm just more concerned with things that actually do...

I think that the Kuwaiti society is pretty closed on its traditions. Although we do witness "new trends", it's mostly taken or projected the wrong way, and that is simply not a progress, it's just a change ...to the obvious worse.
I said in my first post that this blog is meant to be written for myself rather than anyone who would read it, I'm just pissed and I want to take it out on some…one?!
Lol, nahh.. it's not like that. What I want to say is, there has been a new emerging cult/subculture in Kuwait –that is not dangerous, so keep seated!- called Goth. Since I'm interested in this subculture, I have not yet been able to get a hold of people from that cult, unfortunately… which makes me feel kinda lonely.
It's no surprise if you haven't heard of this cult before, it's really unfamiliar in Arab countries since it's a foreign subculture descending from Punk.

One of the problems that Goths would face is: the confusion of Gothicism with Satanism. I think it creates some sort of a hassle especially to an individual who's new to the Goth scene. And since Goth is a cult of multi religion –or non-religion-, Satanism would be a part of it just like how it can be a part of any community. It's because a Satanist would be Goth, whether it's about wearing black clothes or thinking of 'dark' aspects that sometimes are satanic. but not every Goth, inevitably, is a Satanist.

For me, I'm not a Satanist and I have no problem with Satanists as long as they're not one of those dumb dabblers that sacrifice animals, cos that's not Satanism -according to the founder of the Church of Satan, late Anton LaVey- that's just anarchy caused by human ignorance in search of a "spiritual" identity. Still Satanists are not tolerated in Kuwait like how they possibly are in some other countries. Here, they are more into vandalism and criminal activity that actually practicing a religion- or an un-religion. You'd have to be familiar with modern Satanism –the LaVeyan- to see my point.

I think I stopped caring about being described as a 'Satanist'. Sometimes I smile humoring their ignorance. But still at times it does get to me as it strikes me seeing how much I'm misunderstood, especially by my parents who have no idea what Gothicism is, but read about the corrupt Satanism in newspapers.
