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.

Unbeaten

Tough , resilient , tangible and sound as Scottish drums. Deeply rooted in earth womb with an ugly look , rough and harsh. The sun burns its surface and it stands as a mount , while winds slap its skin , leaving it hard and full of fork-like pieces of wood. It seems as if it forgets its purpose and aim of being on earth and has become only a thing that looks like a living thing. But , still , unbeaten.

This seat reminds people of victims of abuse or let's say it properly: survivors of abuse. As people smuggling to seek a good life , reaching the unknown shores after a sea trip, half of which was on boat under dignity and the other half was under the boat to wash up and polish dignity.

Or villagers reaching the city for the first time, seeing and admiring even the road boards. After few time struggling in the city , they lose interest, lose appetite to living there , lose linkage with the village and loosen in the middle of the trip between city and village.

Or as immigrants when they travel to a new country , start a family, business and life. However, they burry their identity under where they put their feet and become free of identity as if it were a virus or infectious disease . Eventually , they lose ability even to identify who they are and the pain and guilt that they feel become their identity.

Or as a child , holding bunch of fainting roses , begging people to buy in the street with bare feet and nearly bare body as well. No one notices his bare stomach that did not eat for days or his shivering words when he speaks. All what people know about him is to push him away , ride cars with speed so that dirty water flashes on his face due to wheels' rapid movement. Or if they are polite enough , they will avoid seeing him as if he is a big annoying fly.

Empty Wet Bench

In a rainy evening , I stayed under the rain without a shade , a shelter or even a cover. I was waiting and waiting , alone waiting in the downtown area .Waiting for them to come as they promised . However , it seems they will not come. May be because I am too far to reach or they are too far to meet. May be they changed the plan and decided to meet else where .Or may be they are stuck in traffic , each one in one side of the busy city. Or , may be it is too cold to meet under rain in rainy evening , while each one had a long day and has a long day going to catch. All in all , they did not come to meet , but I hope that they justified for each other the reason why they did not meet or at least , in the worst cases, they postponed their date into another date , to a time when the sky is clear and shinning with light and weather is not cold.

Motherhood mercy

A fraction of a second and a new baby is born with all blood around it. Mother is fainting , But she is willing to hold her baby in her weak arms. Remembering when it was a mere liquid settled and growing and doubling its cells in her womb, during all the nine months of the suffering , not fitting in clothes , figure changing , a great increase in weigh , swollen feet , and tiredness. All is gone in one moment with pre-pains and pushing and palms , and waiting more. And here a baby is born and now she fetches a name, and then color of clothes, toys and a cradle. And then a kindergarten , a school uniform , a bag , book has his favorite character and a pencil. And where is that pain ? when he gets out of her womb? All gone with the first look at his face or as grammatically notes : its face. Another baby is await and growing inside her to be born

Dengue

That is that in this fight. Souls collapse with no felony , but dengue. We only hear " You know that young man , in that shop , that used to sell bla bla bla… , he passed out with dengue". And " You know that little girl who used to pass by our house before going to school with brilliant smile and shy laughter with broken teeth. She was diagnosed with three different diseases before the fourth diagnosis of dengue , hours before she was dead , as she could not fight it , as her blood cells vanished". And the list of stories to be continued.

Ironically, we survived swine and bird flu, but beaten with dengue as it came as a death messenger ,sending death to each avenue in slow motion , letting beloved ones say fare well to the loved ones as watching them dieing , or let's say get salvation of medical experiments and false diagnosis of medical market.
