This topic Shia dreams vs Sunni dreams. What is it about?
Basically, this is the outlook which these groups have towards the future.
Now what will a 'Shia dream' be like. A Shia dream will be that someone from family member of the 'clan' will emerge and 'look after the future interests'.
A 'Sunni dream' will be that they will 'swallow the opposing parties' and they will become 'like them' and then leader can emerge from either the 'original Sunnis' or the 'new Sunnis'.
But both the parties are in for disappointment.
Because the 'leader' Sunnis would be waiting for may not be a Sunni. He may well be a Shia. Also, Sunnis will get a rude shock 'in time'. Because, mankind is a 'conflict oriented species'. And Sunnis will find differences among themselves as well. Also, the 'great dream' of Sunnis to convert the 'mass into Sunni' may never materialise. Shias will remain Shias. The leader Sunnis are expecting may never come from Sunnis.
I will say that the British empire which ruled over the Indian subcontinent was like Sunnis because they wanted to convert people into someone like them. But ultimately they got 'rude shock'.
The 'Shias of India' rose up against British and they had to leave the Subcontinent.
Let us not look at religion. Let us look at the essence of what a race is like and in that sense "India is like Shia". Also we can say that the ongoing tussle in Pakistan is between Shia and Sunni elements. We cannot pronounce entire Pakistan as Sunni. There is a 'definite Shia soul' inside Pakistan.
How will the Shia dream never materialise? Shias expect someone from 'their family clan' will emerge as a leader but the fact is such a leader may never come. It may be an endless wait. And since they are morally and ideologically opposed to Sunnis they will never accept a Sunni as their leader.
What will be the result? It will be like "In a kingdom of blind, one-eyed jack is the king".
Both the dreams are likely to fail and mankind would be waiting for a huge disappointment.
Unfortunately, we can term or classify the entire world into these two blocks of Shia and Sunni. And neither block is perfect or can provide a perfect solution.
Whether we admit it or not, we remain either Shia or Sunni no matter what religion we follow.

Watched one more movie over the last week and the movie is 'Boss'. Movie is okay for a one time watch.
