         There are reasons to proffer that shattered castle would come to an end when the government of the entire earth would be taken over by a higher source and then theocracy as the new system of government would come in full force . The whole system would be transformed, to favor mankind in general. The author in his belief prepares the mind of the reader for the past, present and likely future happenings.

Reflections…

The country is a powder keg waiting to explode in the hands of the devil that carries stigmata. Sacristans, who drink fresh blood, sleep with strumpets, excreted into the cencer and steal from sacristy. The flies by night bite the house owners and mercilessly suck them dry. Bands of renegades living outside the rear of moral decency. They are at the corridors of power …the hero castle shattered and there seemed to be no hope

" First, all who forget history are doomed to repeat it. A man has the right to remember the ugly things that had happened to him - the past history that should not be forgotten'

Second, every civilization that has existed had ultimately collapsed. History, though a living link to things that should always be remembered, is a tale of efforts that failed, or aspirations that were not realized. So as a historian, one has to live with a sense of the inevitability of tragedy'

The third and ultimate is the reason, very obvious and stands that all men living today belong to a single specie and are derived from a common stock making us the world and the children of the world. Then race, which simply and ultimately one of the partially isolated gene pools into which the human species came to be divided during and following its early geographical spread. The paradox which faces

us, which is that each group of humans appears to be externally different, yet underneath these differences there is fundamental similarity".
