asalam 3alaykom,
I wish what you are saying is true..
but human beings are attached to their bodies till death..
and no one thinks that way except dreamers..
but really..it is body or nothing and personaly i hate that.

This is very nice wallah .. and I add my voice to yours

Not only dreamers who are able to step beyond physical attraction, some people do love what they don't see .. nice piece :)

Yeh I agree.
you may love someone without meeting him face to face , you feel he is so close to you , you want to know him more and more.
The caller says we are attached to our bodies till death , unfortunatly this is right , and thats why when you meet the one face to face , sit with him , talk to him and know him better , the image will be rebuild in your mind becoz of the way the other person looks , behave, talk , smile etc,  and the acceptance level may go higher or lower , yes it will be different than talking to him by phone, chat, email etc.

BUT if he was himself with you all the time, and you really loved his soul , I dont think this thing will change even after meeting him. Love is much much deeper than what our bodies feel!

That was so deep Qwaider , I loved it.

You know Qwaider, it is possible provided you are one of the people looking for something deeper than skin. in that case you see what you need through ideas, poetry, and other forms of self expression. in that case you would see the part that is important to you. and may possibly grow fond of that person or even feel attached to a group of people.

When I tell my mom that I have friends all around the world through the internet that I have known for years, she quotes one of her friends, poor child she is delusional she is friends with a machine !!

Which I don't agree with, I saw these people's minds, souls and hearts. And even if they pretend to be what they are not (thought I doubt that possible) at least I know the people they aspire to be, which is a great thing.

But for people who are looking for the physical appeal, they cannot be attracted to any thing but that, if they don't know what they are looking for in a person deeper than skin, they first have to see and after that all will follow.

But you are using the word (3ishq) for that to be complete in what it means I think you have as well to see the person and judge if you like what you see or don't, for what I talked above as having friends is different than falling in love.

Sorry if I talked too much on the subject, but internet and our relationships through it are the realities of our days, it's like I have colleagues at work, friends, family, and friends on the internet. Thus subjects of this sort are important.

well blogs are a strong example of this...you got to meet new people,read thier thoughts, have a look at thier lives, sometimes you feel u share a lot with them as if you really knew them even though every one is leaving in a different country...blogs are so cool :P

و عشق الروح مالوش اخر.. لكن عشق الجسد فاني......A song for Mohammad Abdul Wahab...you guys the young ones may not be familiar with!
This comes to my mind when I read your post.I think it is true. What makes a couple stay together after so many years of being together when their bodies change and start looking old, fat and ugly? I guess it is the love of the spirit inside the person what makes it last.
I think these days you are in a spirit loving mode. Enjoy it and I hope it lasts for a long time.

Well for marriage there has to be the attraction or chemistry, if two people have it( which by the way has nothing to do with beauty) they can be a great couple, body and soul ...if not they will best friends

That's a very nice post Qwaider .. and I have to agree with Tamara , she speaks out my mind .. sometimes you read something that someone has wrote down and you are surprised for how close the perspective of this person is to yours .. and how you might be sharing the same window view of different things in this life .. and those mostly goes onto internet friendship.. but its not exclusive on this area .. I had an uncle who was away from this country for over 30 years and never got to meet him until after I completed my 17 years .. but I used to hear lots of interesting lovely stories about him and his personality .. I simply admired him before meeting him .. and I still do .. thinking of him as my favorite uncle whom can get whats inside my head without having to even speak ! just wanted to share that little personal experience ..

aaakh bs :D hehehe aa ana ba7eb roberto carlos hehehe
wallah fe kteer ashya2 ashoofha hon.. sheklo i was away for along time
amazing post, i know what you're talkin about, regardless to roberto carlos case :p

Qwaider

Allow me to explain and disagree a little bit : )

Personally I believe that yes you can grow fond of someone through his or her ideas and personality. AFTER that you look at their fiscal appearance, and see if there is an acceptance and no repulsion : ) that does not mean they have to be great looking, on the contrary they may look ugly to others, but the important thing is how do they look to you. But they may be great looking to others but to you no. this is for people who know each other in person. But through writing on the internet or another means this is totally different. For example I could be great in expressing myself through writing, but cannot put two sentences together in person and so on.a lot of things about a person cannot be told through writing.... unless your extremely inelegant and take a long time following a persons expression of them selves ( rare case! )

It may sound shallow, but the way a person speaks, moves, reacts to me are important factors of their personality; )

asalam 3alaykom,
Q..looks like you have an experience in this..
i think that girls are more capable of having an only emotional thing..but men..no..it's just not in them..
and if they would feel anything unmaterialistic is because the anticipation after that..
men can't love platonicly..just can't.

Ya Qwaider ...true that's only my opinion, and I do accept that other people may have another idea ..

But for you to say that if you had a spiritual link with someone, and an intellectual agreement, you will not care how she looked is absolutely amazing ...hats of for you

So again I say she is one lucky lady : )

Sorry did not mean to : )its just that I'm im a good mood today, so its only your bad luck : D

Lol Q ..: )

OO ya ma7la el nasr b3oon allah! what does that have to do with any thing ...: ) 7ashash

Any way maybe all the folks can visit my corner and get new tip for a good mood ( shameless self promotion as usual) : D

الأخ العزيز قويدر...تحية طيبة
لقد أسعدني تواجدي على صفحات مدونتك

The art of attracting ladies... :)

Salam, you reminded me of a joke:

Shab awal marrah be7ashesh ew 3amel 7aalo abu 3ali. rekeb sayartoh ew tale3 meshwar, then got stopped by a cop for driving without seatbelt.

Cop: Momkin elrokhsa?

Lim7ashesh: SHU 7ASHEESEH MA 7ASHEESHEH??!!

مرحبا قويدر اشكرك من كل قلبي على زيارتك الحلوة متل روحك الطيبة وصدقت القول والله ان الروح هي الوحيدة التي تدرك معنى الحب وكنه النفس وهو الحب الازلي التي يبقى حتى بعد الموت

shaklak 7abeb benet 3la el mobile :D

هل سبق وان احببت ما لم تر؟ هل اعجبك شيء حتى قبل ان تلمسه؟ او قبل ان تتذوقه؟

ما هو عشق الروح؟ كيف يمكن لنا ان نحب اشخاصا لم نرهم؟ ولم نعرفهم ولم نترب معهم؟

كمسلمين نحن نعشق رسولنا الكريم و ان لم نره.. وكبشر جميعا نحب الله ونكره الشيطان وايضا نحن لا نراه...

عندما كنا صغاراً احببنا اخوالنا مع اننا لم نرهم، عشقنا قصصهم و شخصياتهم بمجرد رواية عنهم

و كثيرا ما نحب شخصا او شيئا بمجرد سماع رأي الناس عنه. الكثير الكثير وقعوا في عشق كبار الشعراء والادباء والمشاهير من مجرد قراءة افكارهم او سماع قصصهم صحيح على ما يبدو ما يقال اننا فُطرنا على العشق، فكثير ما نعشق روح الشخص اكثر من جسده المادي. فالجسد فانٍ

نجد اناسا تعشق بعض حتى بدون لقاء ولا حوار كأن ارواحهم تألف بعضها بعضا كأن قلوبهم مخلوقة من ذات الصلصال. و تعجب احيانا من الاختلاف الواضح بينهم، الا ان ارواحهم متآلفه..

وآخرون يكرهون بعضهم بعضا وان لم يسمعوا ببعض، كأنما ارواحهم تلفظ بعضها بعضا!

انما هو حق ان الروح من امر ربي، فلا يعلم سرّها الا هو سبحانه.
