The opinions you are looking for would be very subjective here. Based on experiences and repitition of behaviopural patterns that people have noticed in different arab nations.
As for me, I have found, Omanis, Jordanians and Bahrainis lot better than UAE, Kuwaiti and KSA arabs as they are usually very difficult to get alongwith. Lebanon and Qatar are amongst the better ones with social interaction and openness. As I said, that's soley based on my experience which may be biased as well. And no disrecpect intended.
Men are like parking spaces. The good ones are taken already!
I don't think that should be true. So shouldn't you. Keep the fingers crossed. You will meet someone for sure. There is somone for everyone in the universe
The irony is that the reason war was waged upon iraq was the suspected weapons of mass destruction(WMDs). Colin Powel showed media the satelite imagery. The whole saw that. Eventually, no weapons were found. Just to remove a doubt millions of humans died.
I still remember the sight in London where over 1 milliom people led a procession against the war.
Sadly, over the course of history, humans have killed other humans for petty material interests. Sadly again, there seems no end to it. What a waste of this short life we have.
Contrary to the applause for the blog from CT, I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it coming from you. Even when you intended some light humor while sincerely advising bald guys.
While I thank God I am not bald,YET, here is what's my take on this.
First of all, I'm sure you know baldness does not increase or decrease the intelligence / stupidity and goodness or viceversa in them. So I assume that people who are bald know VERY WELL how they are taken, perceived and made fun of. They are also, extremely aware, rather touchy, about how they deal with the baldness. Specially, the ones who grow 5 strdands over the top, including the rest who shave completely or find some other way.
Your blog picked on just a bit of humorous or otherwise perception that is there for bald guys usually, in real life.
keeping in view the above, I think they are bravely coping and living with a so called personality appearance deficiency (as others think) Even when it comes to a perception that they look way older than they really are, or rather funny. I'd salute their will instead for so courageously dealing with it.
Secondly, I have a bizzare idea. Suppose if you were obese with heavy lumps around your waste line and hips. And someone just made light humor for you to take it all postively. Say, clothing advise and color combination on how to not look overweight and instead look acceptably attractive? Or perhaps if you had some visible marks all over your skin making it 2-toned, some light humorous advice on how to carry yourself?.
Summarising it consisely, My question is how would the seemingly perfect-looking-personality appearance people take it if they developed any diminishing feature in them while somebody wrote a blog and others in general took them differently? Specially when they did not have control over it like bald people? I am more curious about how would you take it?
it's natural and it does happen. It will go away on its own. Just be openminded and don't force yourself out of it. You will know it is gone and you would feel the real zest for someone again. Or someone will trigger this zest in you.
Just stay positive and let go of the past. That's it.
The truth of happiness lies in being thankful for what we have rather than be envious of what we don't. Money brings more choices, thus more confusion, and more dissatisfaction. It makes us go spiraling down the never ending wish hole.
What I meant was not what we see on the surface NOW, but related to the history of it and the current global strategic perspective. Just to refresh the memmory, our friends decided to play their old Cold War game's finale in Afghanistan. They came and infested the area with heavy arms, trained even the kids to fight the Soviets. Even gave them stingers to the same people they then called the Mujahedeen. So they used the Afghans to defeat their enemy choosing an off premises battlefield.
And when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the friends left Afghanistan without clearing the mess they created. Without disarming the barbarians they created. It is all on record that it was a move they regretted. They think they should have stayed to develop the area and made sure the arms were removed and a government is there to run the affairs like a proper country. They should have stayed to develop at least some infrastructure then. Which they are doing now thankfully.
Afghans, who were so used to fight only, then restored to fighting among themselves. Created warlords and druglored from within the country. All needing power. They all had all arms and amunition they needed, left by the friends.
We started suffering from then onwards. First, we absorbed over 2 million afghan refugees. And then had to deal with the infiltration of their convicts, arms and drugs into our country. A gift our friends left us.
Now the strategic priorities have changed. Our friends are back again. Most probably to encircle China. And we are made to engage in a useless fight again. Losing time, money, lives everything.
That was not our war. But was made our war. Yet again this is being made our war which was not ours in the first place.
You are right. And there is no escape to it. Once the pain is inflicted, it has to be endured, whether we want to or not. Yes, it hurts more when the wound is still fresh.
But there are some people who keep their wounds always alive and never let them heal. They like to live with pain. Cos perhaps it's all they've got. Pain helps them remember and happiness makes us forget. So they don't want to forget and live with pain.
My experience, so far, has been that the sooner decide to move on, the quicker you heal, most often to laugh at it later!
I'm afraid I disagree with you. Pain actually strenghtens us. It's not like a patch on a bicycle. It's like a vaccine. Every time you get pain, this vaccine makes you immune to it. And yours may be amongst the strongest heart right now, alongwith Thinnman's.
Imagine if you had never felt pain at all, just a mild pain would have made you cry. Pain makes us so strong that we don't bother with small pains and thus keep going.
Pain actually makes us humble. Pain makes us value happiness. pain makes us considerate of other's pain. Pain makes us realize what we have. Pain makes us repent on what we lost.
Please don't make me feel like as if I'm selling pain here come on.... Cheers to those who experienced pain and are now better people.
