So, I went to this place, stayed for few hours, and on my way out I find this dude standing next to my car. He cheers up to see me, so I don't get feeling all weird and he asks me "Qwaider, how are you?". "I'm fine, good" I hesitate. So he proceeds to introduce himself, "I'm so and so your neighbour" I was thinking, hmmm, "Ahlan, are you So and so's brother?" He replies yes, so I reply. "You were very young when I left Jordan, you've grown and became a man".
We both laugh, few awkward moments pass by and he is like. "Your right front tire is flat". I was like "oh thanks, did you just notice that?", and he replied "No, I saw it four hours ago", "And I decided to warn you"
He's been waiting 4 hours outside of the place I was in and he recognized my RENTED car!! I was really grateful! He even started helping me change the tire
Then he said, "I always wanted to grow up to be like you"!
That almost made me cry!

ان لم تستحي، فاصنع ما شئت!
كلمات عظيمة .. ان دلّت على شيء فهي دلالة على عظم قدر الحياء عند العرب و المسلمين، ففي الأسلام، الحياء احدى شعب الإيمان وهو فعل و خلقٌ محمود. لا يودي بصاحبة الا الى الخير... الاّ في عمّان!
Collecting enemies

Hani Obaid asked a very intriguing question that got me to think. How did I manage to collect so many enemies? It's quite intriguing for me to actually go through the mental notions of trying to comprehend it.
On many occasions, I find that it's people who fake being open minded and the ability to coexist with others while deep inside they're nothing but little kids with toys. And someone (which happens to be me) called their toy ugly. It doesn't matter how you interpret that, it's always the same, it's really snobby people thinking they're the social elite and detest the notion that someone else might actually be right.
So I argue with stupidity, you can sue me for that, I won't stop, I won't go anywhere, I don't seek to please the few. For all I care they're not even worth my time, but I do it anyway

Many years ago, I used to know someone. The girlfriend of a friend. She was radiant, smart, focused and had a plan. She was completely bent on success at all costs, Sacrificing love, time, emotions and even life for her goals of striking riches. The good news is that she did make it. Not on her own of course, she got married to a rich old geezer (no seriously, he's more than twice her age, and she's in her late twenties)

Probably the most distinguishing feature between humans and animals is humans ability to curb their instincts and desires. Forming them in a combination of laws, traditions and guidelines. We are brought up like that. We understand it. Societies to different degrees abide by these unwritten laws. For example, in the west it's common for couple of people to make out in a Nightclub or a bar, sometimes in a park. Mostly influenced by the effect of booze, or the heat of the moment. (I'm specifically talking about the public part since otherwise it's none of my business.
In the middle eastern cultures, it's not acceptable to do the above, in fact, there are many societies that mandate a complete no touch policy. Of course people still touch, and I honestly believe it's none of my business
And then, you have some people who appear like alleycats cats in heat!
