Watch out!

I read the script of Haruki Murakami's speech, who was awarded the Jerusalem Prize recently.
The media say the speech is taken as it was designed to criticize the government of Israel, but as I have read it so far, it would not read that way.
First off, this is my opinion, I am so proud of his brave action. It must have taken him a lot of courage to do this. It's not certain that he's a huge fan of the Beatles even though one of his biggest hits is "Norwegian Wood" which obviously was named after the song of the Beatles which has the same title. The former Beatle sir Paul mccartney held a concert there in Israel too. He was also warned against by a lot of people not to do it. He wanted the truth and so he needed to go and see it for himself. In spite of those who were against he would not give up on his hope. And he did it! That is the story I learned by the footage on youtube. I was attracted to his personality which is very positive charming easy-going. He is good spirited as Julian Lennon refered to and couldn't agree more! I found something in common between he and Paul!

Well back to Haruki Murakami. The message he wanted to convey seems that he wants us to be more aware of what the system is doing. Where is it heading to? What actions are they going to take? The sysytem at times becomes so big and powerful that it would be out of control. And what's worse, it happens that we even may not have the slightest idea of what is going on. All he is saying that we should pay more attention not to let it to take over us or we would end up being suffocated in the hand of the system which originally should be beneficial for us. His message, I get is very simple. Far from attacking the government of Israel itself definitely. He wants to give a warning message for us to have a good knowlege of the system that seems very nice and kind but in fact is taking us over sneakingly.

Writing needs imagination. Haruki Murakami is an writer full of imagination who takes an action. Which makes the great difference. By the way the speech inspired me so much that I am starting to think of seeing a film Peace Bed by John and Yoko. Unfortunately John has gone but Yoko has still been working hard for Peace in her original artistic way. She has recently made a public notice War is over if you want it (anyone anywhere must have ever seen or heard the message once.) with the billboard on Broadway at times sq. It is said to be against the Israel government.
