فكرة عن الكتابة عن كتابة الفكرة

ما هو كيانك ان لم تكن؟ كيف تكون ان لم تفكر، وكيف تثبت أفكارك ان لم تكتب.

ماذا لو كانت أفكارك هي عبارة عن فكرة أن ليس من الضرورة ان نثبت أفكارنا لأي كائن، لا بالكتابة ولا بغيرها.

لماذا تكتب؟ لماذا تتكلم وتعبر عن نفسك وعن آرائك؟ هل هي للوجود؟ للحصول على نظرات فخر او تعجب او صعوبة الفهم او انبهار بنباغة عقلك او فقط لتثبت لنفسك انك انسان... انسان طبيعي، واحد منهم، منهم ولهم، ينظر للحياة كما ينظروا اليها. مثلهم...

اكتب.
تكلم.
حتى لو لم تفكر بأي شيء جديد،
فعلاً، حتى لو لم تفكر أبداً...

Stop writing, stop thinking and wait for it

To what extent will we keep saying what we think about and writing what we believe people will be interested in. Sending out your thoughts in binary form shared with the public has become a saturated behaviour, not blogging saturation, but thought sharing saturation. You might disagree with me and say there are still a lot to be said and a lot to be discussed, but do you really believe that right now, someone somewhere is writing something new? something evolutionary? something out of this world?

At what point should we stop and realize that it's not about giving, it's about taking. Taking things in. Yes that is true, one of the few times taking is promoted against giving. But that will be your gift, the taking, because by taking you are allowing others to give.

Stop words from flowing out, take a break, sit down and let it all come to you.

Stop saying all thoughts aloud, stop thinking. Because that thinking is useless. This kind of thinking is subjective and compromised. It's no longer yours.

Greener

Most probably people see the grass greener on the other side. Especially with the photo processing software we have access to these days.

A loser? You wish

Some people don't even qualify as losers. Losers at least attempted winning.

Things that we can't understand

The only thing that gets tears in my eyes when I think of home are my youngest nephew and niece. Mom used to always tell me this:

"الله بيوضع سره باضعف خلقه"

My treasures :)

Venus or Mars, it's time to expand your mind

What matters to you the most? To take in all the information you see in this world, whatever the type of the information you're seeing hearing or feeling? Or to show that to others, and if not the way it is already, but in your own way and in your own touch?

This is the world today thanks to the internet, it's everybody's chance to not just take in the information and keep them to themselves. They have the choice to share it as it is, but most importantly, the crucial part of it all is that they can combine what they have seen, read, heard and felt and make it into something. Something that others will see or read or feel or hear, which will then inspire them to combine it with something else that was an input, and something else and something else... and another output will result, and the chain will keep going.

This is the internet today. Oh.. I mean this is the world today. It's open, it's vast, and it gives a chance for good people to make good things for themselves and others.

An inspiring video which does or does not have to do anything with what I wrote today: Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?" This is his answer.

Your enemy in a minted box

In general, your enemies will look for two things from you, either a reaction or for you to be in pain. The first is mainly because they're insecure and want to feel like they have power over you, the second is because you have caused them sever pain formerly and they still can't get over it thus trying to inflict the same on you.

Your response shall be one: Ignore. By ignoring, you both don't give them that satisfaction of having power over you, and you're not in pain therefore leading them to always be in pain themselves.

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” 
 Sun Tzu, The Art of War


and for that I end this with:

“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.” 
 Sun Tzu

القرار الصائب

ربما تسأل نفسك ان كان قرارك قرار صائب، ولكن هذا لا يعني انك مخطئ او انه كان يلزمك وقتاً أكثر للقيام باتخاذ الطريق الصحيح. أأكد لك انه القرار الصائب، لأنك هنا، تسأل نفسك أسئلة... 

هل تعرف انه هناك دائماً أشخاص يعتقدون أنهم يعرفون مصلحتك وهم نفسهم الأشخاص الذين يعيشون في قنّهم المريح... 
هل تظن أنه يمكن لأي أحد أن يتوقّع لك الطريق لسعادتك، غيرك؟

طبعاً حتّى انت لا يمكنك ذلك ان كنت أو أصمّ أو عبد لمشاعرك. 

اطلق العنان لكن اترك طرف الحبل بيدك انت. 

لا تتركه يتحكّم بك، ولا تكن بخيل بمدّ الحبل.

Queen of..

When is it safe to say "I'm tired" without sounding like a drama queen? 

On another non-serious note, how the funk did people relocate to other countries prior e-mail and browsing?

You against your body

When you control your consciousness, refuse to give up to nervousness and worry. But then your body declares war, and lets subconscious act up and lead the battle. It attacks your sanity and health first. By cutting your sleep in half, your body is bound to deteriorate and your focus to diminish. What can you do as a counter attack? Against your own-self. 

First you negotiate. If it doesn't work. You either surrender in order to move worrying and being nervous to the conscious level, or keep ignoring, until your body utterly fails... and then you fall asleep. Then you win.

Sometimes, just find something

You don't always have to try to find your thing so you can go your way. Sometimes, you have to go some way, and you might actually find your thing. 

On your face

You know when you have those thoughts, but don't know how to express them, articulate them and make a straight to the point case? Here's Ashley Judd talking about appearance in response to how the media went coucou over her face being puffier than usual.

If God...

Seriously now, if God has any sense ofhumour, he will take me right up to heaven so I make fun of the douchebags sitting there who are boring the hell out of him.

Walk away

Walking away is not always giving up, sometimes it's just moving on.

You could spend all your life trying to do this one thing yet it keeps failing. 

But remember, it takes courage to fight for something, yet wisdom to know when it's not worth it or when it will simply, not change, and you're just wasting your precious time.

Sometimes, just walk away.

Break it


How far would you go in tying your destiny to someone else's?
How strong would you make that chain?

If they're slow
If they stopped
Worse of all, if they're going backwards?

Break it. Break the chain. And walk along the person who walks at the same pace as you.

On stupidity... or Oxygen

I am glad Stupidity doesn't take from Oxygen, or most humans would be on life support by now

On comfort zones

I want to move away from my comfort zone from time to time, I want to shake my legs and notice the chains that surround them.
