Study history, Alleluia. In this century history stopped paying attention to the old psychological orientation of reality. I mean, these days, character isn't destiny any more. Economics is destiny. Ideology is destiny. Bombs are destiny. What does a famine, a gas chamber, a grenade care how you lived your life? Crisis comes, death comes, and your pathetic individual self doesn't have a thing to do with it, only to suffer the effects. This Gibreel of yours: maybe he's how history happens to you.
In the present century, history has shifted its focus away from individual psychological factors to broader forces that shape reality. Rather than personal character defining one's fate, things like economics, ideology, and violence take precedence. The impacts of crises—such as famine or war—show that individual experiences and lives can feel insignificant when faced with brutal historical forces.
The character Gibreel symbolizes how history interacts with individual lives, illustrating that personal narratives become overshadowed by larger societal and global issues. The notion that individual choices influence destiny is challenged, as external circumstances often dictate the course of events and the consequences individuals face.
