Ramadan is about to end :( I am sad because it was one of the best
Ramadans I lived in my life, but inshallah better Ramadans are yet to come :)
I hate the fact that Ramadan will end and the Id al-Fitr will
start, its nothing about the Id; it is just me I do not enjoy the Id and I do
not find the vacation an opportunity to take a rest.
July was really a very long month for me, I had to manage the
office where I am working and coordinate with my "uncooperative"
coworkers, while my boss is traveling to the United States to chill out with
his family and leaving me tonnes of tasks over my head.. Anyway, al-hmdullilah
it is almost over, sigh :)
Funny thing I heard during the "gatherings" of Ramadan
from a woman who discussed the developments in the region and how "Jordan
is stable and secure." She said: "Many protests were organized here
in Jordan, but nothing was achieved on the ground because they are a group of
youths who have extra time and do not know how to exploit it, [ma r7 yser eshe
3nna allah y5lelna el malik!]" At that moment I was rolling on floor laughing
and said: "If nothing changes till now, then something will happen in the
near future because people will reach a point where they do not have anything
to give to their children to eat. When that time comes, you will see people in
the streets, and let us hope this will happen soon." She was like
"O.o!" okay whatever. I do not understand when people will wake up
and see that we need a change we need reform!
"He who would trade
liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security."
I'm really sad about this Ramadan ending too :( but Eid Mubarak!
ReplyDeletePS - totally know how you felt about your coworker. I think unfortunately many people see the revolution as a nuisance, and maybe in some areas like in Egypt its quite confusing what their end goal is, but after the years of oppression I think its really needed :( but hopefully it can be done peacefully! Or maybe thats naivety?
Happy Eid to you :)
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that people do not want to see that we really need a change a real one not ink on paper! We need reform, we need to develop and start worrying about other things than our living. We will not witness victory and success as long as we are acting like animals
