Over the course of few months, I've been called all sort of things, and as I sip my coffee I had to come to realizations that I might not just be what I think I am or what one group thinks of me. I do find my self gravitating towards a huge number of subjects having specific thoughts and ideas and most importantly - to me, being opinionated about all of these. One thing no one has disagreed upon, I do have courage in voicing my opinions in ways that borders harsh rudeness at times and craziness at times. Leading me to apologize after discovering and agreeing that I might have erred on several occasions. But the good side is that these didn't happen often
Yes, it's true, I'm a backward, forward, literate, ignorant thinker.
I jump to conclusions and generalizations and I give deep thought to ideas.
I'm pro and against Hijab, niqab, shorts skirts, long skirts, short hair, long hair, breast implants, liposuction, premarital relations and conventional marriage
I'm a feminist and anti-women.
Love and hate the Arabic culture, love and hate the western culture. Fascinated and impressed by the Arabic culture and equally as appalled and unimpressed about it at the same time
I love and hate me being away from my homeland. I totally loved and hated being back for vacation
I also might be with women's liberation and imprisonment at the same time.
I'm a wise guru and a little foolish kid.
I'm an over/under achiever, an angel a devil a saint and a criminal, pro science pro religion right wing left wing center confused free thinker android. Good at following disobeying understanding missing all orders. I'm a decent misbehaving ill-mannered good/ bad/ evil/ talented/ impatient/ reluctant/ swift person
Yes, you see, I'm human, and the very bipolar nature of that comes contradictions. So why exactly am I saying all these weird things?
People fail to understand that every specific incident is worthy of decisions specifically tailored for it. No two incidents are a like and there is never a single right answer, or a single wrong answer or sometimes trivial unrelated answers. Many situations no matter how alike they might seem have absolutely different outcomes when the very same steps are followed. Weird, but the world is a non causal system. It would have been a much simpler existence if it just followed the rules .. all the time
No matter how we rationalize matters they could never be put in a strong formula format where inputs and outputs are always calculated. No matter how hard we dive into something we will always miss some constant on either side of an equation
So there you have it, I'm at the end .... human.. nothing more ... nothing less
Memories....
simply you are HUMAN..
I like this post Qwaider.. thanks
are you straight?
Be patient dude, - life is not a gloom. One morning, one day, you'll wake up and see a straight line that you'd be able to define yourself with.
Sorry, i missed a last coffee outing before you took off. Hope you're well man...
Nice piece, Qwaider!
u r who u r because of "who" and "what" u r :) and u r unique, because it's a very unique mixture that was used to make u the person u currently r... (ana 3am batfalsaf, sorry, but this is much more fun than studying equations ;)
We all have contradictions , but usually , we favor one side over the other , which is why there are matters , even if they pope into our minds , we still hang by the other matters we prefer ..
But I guess contradiction is anotehr reflection to the word human on so many shiny surfaces !
Maioush Yep ... Human to the bones
SimsimFunny your name used to be my nickname for a long time :). It is relevant ... I think it is
Dino$ I know you're kidding, but it's not far from that!
Moey Yes, are you? I would be surprised
Simsim#2 Lool right back atcha
Hayati Yes, I remember
Nimer Absolutely, yet it's hard to realize sometimes that it's like that. You still owe me a coffee ;-)
Dave I bet we all are, but sometimes people think they're not
Saned Thanks... they usually say that to a chick who looks like Jennifer Lopez .. but I'll take it as a complement
Ran Drop I agree, it's very similar to what you said, sans the falsafeh... Just kidding ... this is all philosophy anyway
Danah I'm glad you didn't stop at the first phrase and did actually dig a little bit deeper to get my meaning. Yep, absolutely we're so full of contradictions
PS. J-Lo? PLEASE!
