Ferige- Big Girls Do not Cry



If you would like to listen to this song, it is interesting ... Enjoy it. Here is following the lyrics:
Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
[Big Girls Don't Cry lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
[Big Girls Don't Cry Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com]

[CHORUS]

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS]

La Da Da Da Da Da

It is time to seek change

How could we solve our problems when we find that the adults behave with the same mentality of retardation and follows old fashioned thinking? How could you talk to them? We fear to wound them sure. If we tell them that what they do is wrong or they should not do that, they will see it as an offense against them that one should not do. However, there should be a dialog when we see something wrong taking place, the adult and our parents should be tolerant and understanding. I know that youth avoid to engage in such discussions that might hurt parents because they say it is a long story and that parents will not listen to us and we feel ashamed, we fear to oppose them or offend them (this is for respect to elderly in general and to parents in particular). Other youth say that if we talk to our parents they will never listen to us and wewill make them angry so there is no use to initiate such discussions or talks.

I would compare the parents in the Arab world with the politicians and governments in specific, and the youth with the people and the public opinion (PO). The politicians do not want to change and they fear change while the PO wants the change and wants to talk, (not like youth who hesitate to talk to parents). The PO is almost absent in the Arab world or is not active at all. Why PO is passive? There should be as many as reasons as one can imagine. First of all, the incredible intolerance of the politicians and governments, poverty, and the fact that the PO is still not very much cultivated, and its elements still think the old fashioned thinking. However, we should underline that both governments and PO elements share the same background including values and culture, but politics and governing should not always stick to culture and values as much as it does to the absolute value of change and competition in a world where we witness every day a new development and change. This trend of change is absolute and one can not stop world from change.

Therefore, the PO classes should themselves believe in change more than the politicians or governments do because those in office fear change and the repercussions of their policies, and this is not justified but they do so either for lack of information or for lack of courage and self-confidence. However, the main reason for the governments not to change their mentality is the fear from losing their privileges and people's made-importance which is the nature of human. (I have never been politician or in a high profile position because I am young and even I do not like politics nor do I have ambitions at all, but when I see that the affairs of my country badly managed, I strongly believe that I should interfere and say something good at least) but I guess this is one of the reasons that make politicians stick to "the chair" (as it is said in Arabic). The other most important thing is that the PO does not help politicians to change since the PO itself does not want change for cultural and traditional reasons (we call this in Arabic Takhalluf that is to say Awareness Retardation or Backwardness).

I do not like politics and I am not rich enough to reach a position in the state, I do not have a big tribe that can compete with other tribes in my country. If I advance to speak they will say from where you come, and that you do not have anybody behind to support you (This is the thinking of the tribalism in Jordan). I do not regret to live abroad; I do not regret anything at all because I understand the mentality of the people there. However, I have the right to write about my country from the principles of democracy and citizenship but not from the principles of tribalism, regionalism or aristocratism (I am not rich) at all.
However, why do I speak about the people of Jordan and the Arab people in general? for the simple reason that I find that there is bad behaviors and concepts that we should get rid of, for the simple reason that I have frequented people from the western world and I was able to set the difference between both mentalities. I think it is time to say something good, to criticize for the good of others. It is time to seek change.

From the heart of experience

-Keep a distance between you and others for they respect you more and more
- Do not say anything, not everything we know should be said.
- Believe in you culture and nation whatever the price, at the end we are all human and none is better than other, Arab and Muslim culture is very rich and we learn from them a very good things.
- Do not believe in cultures clash but believe in people's bad intentions and interests conflict, human have never been in conflict since they are weak from nature and they have need for mercy and passion.
- Do not allow anyone to be superior to you but law should be superior, the law laid down by people not by one person or a none-representative group of people.
- Love from your heart the people who appreciate you and your love, every one of us needs appreciation and respect.
- Cut the road on the people who make from you dump or disabled, they do that just to gain more benefits and rival you on many things in life. Self-confidence and strength are very good remedies to those people.
- Defend your ideas and beliefs very strongly but be in agreement with others.
- You have the same right to enjoy your life exactly like any other individual on the earth.
- For me I will battle any deviation and corruption I am subject to.
- The moment when you think you are superior, you are the dumpiest.
- Do not claim to be better but let your acts prove this.
- Love is appreciated value whatever it is but it should be coordinated with other human values.
- Change comes slowly and it can not happen overnight.
- Lying is very easy to detect so you had better not try it.
- If we do not learn a new thing everyday, there should be something wrong, especially for youngsters

Life is precious Just take from it as much as you can

I was talking to my colleague about life and how we do not appreciate it very much, once one dies his life finishes. so you should benefit from your life reasonable and as much as you can. I was talking about it not from biological point of view as i visited many websites talking about life.
I would put forward these things for anyone whishes to listen to me or read what i wrtie, I do not write for amusement or to bring pleasure, my writing is serious and brings new ideas and lasting ones.
Anyway, the main points I would like to stress are as follows:
1- Respect of life requires respect of living humans and other livings.
2- Once one respects his own life he should respect other's life, well, here we can use this word life-respect to be a synonym of self-respect.
3- Each of us has the choice to live his life the way he sees proper, with the condition that this will not effect other's life. We can remember the saying: Your liberty ends when others liberty starts; this resumes what we can say in this regard.
4- I wish to ask poor people what life means for you. What do you wish, hope and look for. At the same time, I would ask rich people the same question. What the answer would be ... I am sure for the poor it will be mostly concise and precise while for the rich it will be a little bit complicated and long. So let’s share poor this life by giving them the chance to participate in constructing this life.
5- Life requires urgently the cooperation among livings. It is about interdependent relationship.
6- Life should be always precious and venerated...
7- Religion is part of the life and life is not part of the religion
8- Life could not be resumed in one word and it is a theater where everything happens.
9- Life is not one event that happens once and this event is not long. In fact life is a series of events.
10- Life is characterized by change, it is not stable, people change by time, they get older and older. they understand life differently from stage to another.
11- Lives are different, they are not the same. People do not live the same way and style but they all cherish it.
I hope I can write more about life in the coming occasions...
