Dear Grandpa

Fearing for me to get hurt , he holds my wrest tightly , when we cross the street. He taps on my head when I act politely and feeds me by his hand till I bite his fingers. He never smiles at me neither he cries. And when we drifted apart he embraced me as if he wanted to let me go, so that I do not see him weak, as if tears will make him less humane. Always his words are encouraging me to take care of myself and others as a soldier protecting his land. And when I was just younger , he promised to bring me everything I dreamed of. His serious facial expressions and attitude never made me fear him, but love him more. And the more he is away , the more I remember being with him as a piece of feather , fragile , flying, free and always fine.

facts on women

Women in cultures have been very abused and stigmatized with bad luck and superstitions. In every culture we see women humiliated and taken by granted that fate made them just as they are : witches , bad luck dispensers and waste humans.

Before Islam, Arabs used to burry their daughters alive as they were frightened of being ashamed of having a girl not a boy. There were many stories of fathers burying their daughters alive so that they live with honor. It was a type of honor killing to preserve dignity of the tribe man at that era.

There are other practices to preserve the so called honor. In some African traditions, girls are tortured and may be led to death by circumcision. The reason is because families want to preserve honor and in this way , they think, that they protect their honor. The girls are placed, or rather buried in a hole in a dusty land. This hole will be linked to another hole by a channel to stream camel dung and sawdust into the girl's hole, as the myth says it relieves the pain caused by circumcision wounds. After that, they tie the girl's legs so that she can not move and can not itch on the place of pain in her body. So another practice that humiliate females as it is believed that they are source of dishonor.

We claim to be more tolerant with women and precisely more accepting to the fact that they can be great partners, but I guess a lot of " the advocates " for this idea from the other gender still need to comprehend a very important issue about women. Women are not tools , puppet dolls nor entertainers. Women are not shadow creatures nor passive persons. Women are not appetizers nor food . They are not bad luck , nor they are charmed . They are only meant to be beside males to fight together , build this life and be successors on earth .

Who moved my cheese -Review

Who moved my cheese was the title of the book review I read. Within 2 mice and 2 elves, the story took place examining people’s ability to tolerate sudden change. Some of us turn on the coping mechanism right after sensing change, while others speed away to follow change. Others prefer to seek possibilities in maintaining current situation before admitting to change. However, there are some of us who act as stubborn as rocks that prefer to be broken into pieces rather than follow the change parade. The latter type is the worst as they prevent themselves of seeing the change and how it impacts their cheese, or per say their life.
In some circumstances, we tend not to change the direction of our way, and make it as a routine, while our enthusiasm towards the goal gradually faints without our intention. Then, suddenly we face insecure situation of goal-less feeling and eventually blames every moving and not moving things around us. This feeling can take quite time to accompany some people , while others , wake up to realize the situation and quickly set a new goal accompanying change as a tactic for their wellness.
Change is not an easy process nor does it have a speedy recovery mechanism. It is simply a status of a person in which he needs to react towards his own good with the ability to adapt, adopt and balance our opportunities with needs and make wise decisions within limited time.
