Out Of Touch

The test of whether you really liked a book is if you re-read it (several times); the test of whether you really like someone's company is if you are ready to meet him/her again and again...

Misanthrope

   People will envy you for your success, for your wealth, for your intelligence, for your looks, for your status…. But rarely for your wisdom !

Too Dead Inside

   In the Middle-East when we want to do something while unconsciously certain to fail, we seek advice so that we can blame someone else for the failure ! We have become too dead inside to even know the guilt.

I don’t know if it’s a principle but it seems to be the norm in Jeddah.

Bring The Cure

I went into the pharmacy underneath my apartment the other day to buy me an analgesic muscle relaxant.

Over the corner was a Panadol Stand. Each shelf on this stand contains a Panadol Type/Name that “treat” a certain ailment.

You could go on forever from Panadol Advanced, to Flu to Extra…. It just never ends. What’s obvious is that   Pharmaceutical companies are better at inventing diseases that match existing drugs, rather than inventing drugs to match existing diseases.

We Don't Need Education

  We have always been told that Wealth comes from the “richness of the mind”. This aphorism has been quoted by a lot of intellects around the world, stressing that it’s not money that brings riches.

Since graduation, I have met in the workplace several people who have travelled to Europe and the U.S to attain a graduate degree from top ranking universities in the world.

What’s shocking is that the knowledge/education they have acquired is not observed or seen at work. Some of them seem like they are illiterate.

Obviously, education makes the wise slightly wiser but it makes a fool more dangerous.

Horrendous March - Part 2

Yesterday registers the second year post my tragic incident that took place on the roads of Medina.

It still hurts !

I have tried to overcome this  incident but I still do feel  irritated when I start to recall small details. It really feels good to be alive. I am very thankful to God, for I was given a chance to fix/correct the mistakes I have done in life.

I will give you the reader the chance to know a little more about it below:

I didn’t wake up ! I Didn’t see anything ! I can only remember my parents taking me to the Saudi German Hospital in Jeddah. I didn’t know why ?!? But they took me there and I was given physical therapy to help improve my left arm/hand.

I was shocked !! my hand does not move properly up or down.. and there is a lot of pain in my left shoulder, I don’t know why....

Then I was moved to a hotel near my house where some friends and colleagues came in to say Hi.

Again I don’t know why?

The silence was so loud, no one told me what was going on but I felt that there was something wrong.

There was something bad that I did , or maybe something bad happened to me.

Looking through my body I found:

-          a scar on the face underneath my left eye

-          deep bleeding right arm

-          torn and bleeding left shoulder

-          bleeding on the feet and toes

After observing the wounds on my body, I knew that I was suffering from something serious. As days went on I started listening clearly to people and carefully to the discussions my sisters and parents had yet I couldn't come to an answer ! I was emerged in lost time.

Its annoying!! The only thing I had to do was to confront my parents. And that’s what I did!
 I went over to my parents and I asked them “Whats really going on?”.   They replied with sorrowful and saddened faces that my friends and I were in a horrible car accident and I cheated death.
Consequently, they explained that after that accident I was unconscious and suffering from a concussion and head trauma .

I prefer to end this story telling here as I could go on forever to elaborate and talk about the hidden emotions and feelings.
