From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step - Napoleon Bonaparte

Life is unpredictable and so is politics. The unknown probabilities and uncertainties is what make life and politics the roller coaster that it is. An elementary reading of the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran paints a clear picture of how life, and indeed anything, is not black and white.
