مائة قفا على سهوة

أنا عايش و مش عايش..و مش قادر على بعدك
فى بلاد الواق واق يرفع الكثير من الشعب شعار "أنا عايش و مش عايش..و مش قادر على بعدك" و هو شعار جامع مانع حيث يشير فى جزئه الأول إلى وعى المواطن بذاته و علاقته بالحياة و فى جزئه الثانى إلى علاقة المواطن بالحاكم...!!ا

مجتمع التضخم
قد يوحى لفظ (التضخم) بأننى جئت لأتحدث فى شئون الاقتصاد المصرى أو حال الجنيه المأسوف على شبابه و لكننى فى حقيقة الأمر لم أرد إلا أن أسقط معنى التضخم على واقعنا لما لاحظته من علاقة وثيقة بكثير من جوانب الحياة .
و قبل أن أسترسل فى حديثى على أن أذكر أبسط تعريف للتضخم يذكر عادة و أرجو المعذرة إن افتقر الى الدقة أو التفصيل من الناحية الاقتصادية فعلى كل حال لست بصدد موضوع اقتصادى بحت .
التضخم Inflation فى أبسط تعريفاته هو ارتفاع فى المستوى العام لأسعار السلع و الخدمات الاقتصادية على مدى فترة معينة من الزمن و بالتالى يؤدى إلى تآكل القوى الشرائية للنقود.
وهنا أنتقل من المعنى الاقتصادى إلى موضوعى الرئيسي و هو أننى فى لحظة ما شعرت أننا نعيش فى مجتمع متضخم فى كثير من جوانب الحياة الاجتماعية و التنموية و الدينية ...الخ
فعلى سبيل المثال التضخم الدينى
و نرى مظاهره فى ارتفاع المستوى العام للاهتمام بالحديث عن تعاليم الدين سواء بين الأفراد أو فى القنوات التليفزيونية -التى اختصت بعضها بالبرامج الدينية فقط- بالاضافة إلى شغف الأفراد بالتزام بالشعائر الروحانية و المظهرية و ارتياد المساجد و الانتظام فى المعاهد الدينية إلى أخره من المؤشرات التى قد تقرأ على أنها زيادة ايجابية و لكنها على أرض الواقع لا تترجم إلى رقى فى الأخلاق أو سمو فى المعاملات أو زيادة فى العمل و التنمية أو أو انحسار لموجة الفساد أو نقص فى معدلات الجريمة أى أن انعكاس كل تلك المظاهر الدينية على الأفراد و المجتمع لا يوازى حجمها-و هو ما يعادل مفهوم تآكل القوة الشرائية اقتصاديا- و بالتالى يمكن القول أن المجتمع يعانى من تضخم دينى...!!!
مثال آخر التضخم التعليمى
حيث نرى الارتفاع الملحوظ فى أعداد الملتحقين بالتعليم الأساسى و حاملى الشهادات العليا... كما نرى الاستثمارات و التوسعات فى بناء المدارس و الجامعات الخاصة و العامة مقارنة بأعدادها منذ عدة سنوات...كما نسمع كل يوم عن برامج تطوير التعليم و مؤتمرات لمناقشة أمور البحث العلمى إلى آخره من الأمور التى تعد من الجانب النظرى زيادة مضطردة و لكنها عمليا لا تنعكس ايجابيا على مستوى التعليم المتدنى أو مستوى الخريجين السئ.. و لا يرى أثرها على تحسن أحوال البحث العلمى المؤسفة.. و بالتالى يمكن القول بأن هناك تآكل فى القيمة الفعلية للعملية التعليمية أى أن هناك تضخم تعليمى...!!!
هكذا يمكن أن نجد حولنا العديد من الأمثلة التى يظهر فيها التضخم جليا فى أشكال مختلفة و لكنها فى نهاية الأمر تتشابه فى أن القيمة الحقيقية للشئ أقل بكثير من قيمته الظاهره...و لعل أفظع أشكال التضخم هو التضخم البشرى عندما يتكاثر الناس عدديا و لكن يظلون كغثاء السيل بلا قيمة فى مجتمع بلا قيمة ..هو مجتمع التضخم...!!!

Quran Campaign..!(Quranic Thoughs)

Change Resistance..! (Quranic Thoughts)

One of the things that drives me mad is meeting ppl who take things,traditions,ideas..etc. for granted without thinking about the origin, the justification or the reason behind them.
This can b in the simplest things in life that ppl got used to do in a specific way so that they became embedded in their minds as undiscussable facts.
The more frustrating point is that when u ask such ppl about their alibis from a religious,ethical , legal or any other point of view they can't give a convincing justification, they may get mad of u ,accuse u of being crazy & finally it'll end up with them saying "We grew up to find it that way " or "Heya keda"...!!
Actually i call this " بل نتبع ما ألفينا عليه آباءنا"* concept.!!I
I know that u may not find a direct link between the verse & my point, coz the verse mainly refers to the non believers who preferred to follow their arrogance & ignorance & to resist the change by sticking to their parents & ancestors' beliefs which led them to "Sherk" & "Kufr".
Though,i always link this verse to my point indirectly as in the current case ppl also stop their minds-which is the ultimate gift from Allah to the human-,follow their arrogance,resort to the traditions & ideas they inherited from their ancestors-without even thinking about them-,& resist change even if it's for the better.
Mayb u can't feel the link till now,..but to summarize;
In the 1st case when they followed this concept it ended up with them in "Sherk" & "Kufr" , so they got lost.
In the current case when ppl follow the same concept in their lives, it leads them to get their minds stagnated & to stop developing or moving forward which is another form of loss..!
So may Allah grant us the gift of thinking all the time.
(وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ قَالُواْ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا أَلْفَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءنَا أَوَلَوْ كَانَ آبَاؤُهُمْ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يَهْتَدُونَ)I*

ذلك الشئ القابع فى الجانب المظلم من الحياة
ترى فى العيون بريقا قد انطفأ و استقرت مكانه ظلمات حالكة تغشاك اذ أنت نظرت اليهم..!!ا
و ترى ذلك الصراع المرير بين بقايا ابتسامات تحاول فى يأس شق طريقها على صفحات وجوههم و عبوس شكّل الملامح كما تتشكل الجبال على مر السنين..!!ا
تراهم فتحار..أهم أناس استحالوا أشباحا؟ أم أشباحا تمثلوا بشرا؟
قد تتهمهم بالجنون و الشطط...قد تشفق عليهم و تنظر اليهم فى أسى...و لكنك أبدا لا تشعر بهم حتى يأتيك ذلك الشئ القابع فى الجانب المظلم من الحياة...لا تراه.. و لا تعرف ماهيته.. و لكنك تشعر به لأنه يكون قد اختارك فى تلك اللحظة لتنضم اليهم...!!ا

Define:"Motadayen"..!
I guess we've all been in a situation where u describe some1 as "Motadayen" or find some1 introduced to u as "Motadayen"...!!
actually sometimes i used to use the word,..till i felt that it's a flexible word used by each one according to his perception,..so i began to ask myself what is the definition of "Motadayen".. ?!
Ok,..1st let me mention that i'm really obsessed by definitions, dependencies,variables & constants in analysis,..judgements,..decision making...etc
so asking myself about the definition of "Motadayen" is a part of making sure that i'm using the right word in the right place , & it's also a way to make sure that i dnt miscommunicate with others when we mention the word "Motadayen"...!!
According to my observations i felt that most of the ppl tend to describe some1 as "Motadayen" for his image plus the apparent "3ebadat",....for example;
having a beard
wearing hejab or even having a certain style in clothes
saying "Jazakomo Allaho 7'ayran" instead of thanx or merci
avoiding music
fasting "al nawafel"
writing religion-related blogs or even copying them
carry a "Mos7af" all the time
using verses from Quran as signatures,status,personal msg's,..etc
attending periodic lectures for a certain she7' in a mosque or sth
talking with ppl alot about religious issues
forwarding religious e-mails
........etc
so those were examples of things that ring the bell of "Tadayon" for many ppl,...even they dnt know the person ,..they just look make the conclusion & label him as "Motadayen" & begin to deal with him from this POV..!!
actually i dnt have a problem with anyth i mentioned above,..on the contrary i appreciate all that & i know how valuable they r for the person,...but still can't make them criteria for favoring some ppl & categorize them as "Motadayenen" ...coz after all this is just one dimension of the human life ,...we cant forget the unapparent "3ebadat",..the human relations ,...the manners,..& b4 anyth the INTENTION behind any action,...all that complete the image & make the judgement closer to the truth...!!
so b4 any1-who doesnt know me-thinks that i'm messing up & that i have problems or complications like some ppl do when it comes to religious issues,...Al7amdulelah i'm not,...!!!
i'm just trying to understand the usage of a word with no specific definition for most of the ppl,...& i bet that if i ask a random sample of ppl about the word,...they'll give totally different answers or even wont b able to give a justified explanation....!!!
let me add another point that makes me uncomfortable with using this word. If we assume that ppl judge a person & call him "Motadayen" based on religion related behavior (3ebadat,clothes,words,..etc)...is it their right to judge & categorize ppl?...!!!
aint it just Allah who can judge ppl & categorize them (فلا تزكوا انفسكم هو اعلم بمن اتقى),..accept or turn their actions (إنما يتقبل الله من المتقين),...knows their intentions & what's really in their hearts...(ربكم أعلم بما في نفوسكم إن تكونوا صالحين فإنه كان للأوابين غفورا),...aint it all out of the human being scope.....?!
i can't get why ppl insist on giving each other vague descriptions like "Motadayen" or "Moltazem"-which is the higher version i guess- & i dont wanna go through it coz i'm not that aware of the rating system used in such cases....& i dnt know when exactly the person get promoted from level to another & who decides this?!!!!
I know all what i say may not make sense for u & u may consider it exaggeration,...but i really think about this issue alot,...so i thought about sharing mayb some1 can shed some light on sides i cant figure out...!!!
& after all i believe that Allah gave us all the best rank ever coz we r "Muslims" :)

A7'er El 3an2od..!
And that was the learned lesson from the last episode.. Do not let your dear ones, just go down with the flow."
this was a quote from a friend's thought,...actually i read this thought more than once , stopped @ some phrases each time & surprisingly it turned out that the same bell rang for both of us when we read it...!!!
mayb she was talking about a certain situation,..but for me the "dear ones" mainly include my family & the very few ppl who could approach the level of sisters & brothers like u,...!!!
i was-& still-a big looser in making strong friendships ,....& i am satisfied with that coz one cant take evth in life & i got adapted to that in a way or another,....but in a couple of years i could gain very very few good relations-or that's how i personally feel from my side-with ppl i appreciate ,.... one of those is a brotherhood relation which makes me care & worry about some1 more than many ppl i met years ago,...it's u..!!
it may b a temporary thing ,...i have no idea how long it'll last but i'm sure it'll leave a good memory after all..!!
i know that i'm not good @ helping ppl,...neither @ helping myself when it comes to feeling down,depressed , frustrated or any dark feelings,...yeah,i always make trials to support u ,....& i know they mayb meaningless sometimes,....i dunno if u just listen to me coz u dnt wanna tell me how annoying i am...,&i'm not sure if they make any difference for u ,...but i cant help seeing u getting down & say nth,...that's y i always try to fight u back coz i believe u can be some1 alot better...!!
mayb u lose faith in urself sometimes,...but i dont & i wont isA ..!sometimes u say it's over ,..it's your end...i just smile coz i know it's not real,...i know they'r just desperate thoughts in tough moments,..& i know that u won't be broken,...& even when u r about to swear that u r gonna surrender,...i dnt panic coz i believe u wont...!!
i remember one day when u said u'd quit,...i didt push u to stay or blame u for ur thoughts,..coz i knew that u wouldn't quit,..i knew that u would go wander in the streets ,.. think & re-think then come back with ur final decision to stay,....!!
that day i didnt tell u i knew wouldn't quit ,...though i was almost sure,...& even if u decided to quit i would respect ur choice coz i would be sure it was not a childish decision...!!
let me tell u a little secret,...when i told u about the freakin' dream i had , i didnt tell u about a weird thing,...u were really broken in the dream,..i kept asking Why?..,u were about to cry , i shed tears & when i woke up i found tears on my face & on the pillow,...i dnt remember another time when i woke up crying,....so y all that?...simply coz i couldnt c u broken,....i couldnt stand seeing u destroying urself,...i couldnt believe that u surrendered...!!!
so mayb i dnt know all ur problems to judge ,..& mayb i dnt have enough info so i just overload u with my expectations & push u hard sometimes to carry on when u r not able anymore,...!
but actually i dnt wanna know anyth more than what i know which is ; u r able to get over anyth,...u will never surrender,...u have the strength to face ur problems ,..u have ppl who believe in u & pray for u,...u have values to guide u ...& b4 anyth u have Allah's guidance & protection as long as u believe...!!!
so it happnes that u feel so down,...it seems that the world turned its back to u ,..all the doors r locked & there's no way out,...u begin to lose ur strength,...u dnt wanna try anymore ,....u lose belief in urself ,...BUT even at this point i belive in the person i knew,..the real u,..i believe u can find a way out even if it seems impossible,...i believe that u wont fall,...!!
finally,...i know that u won't let ppl who trust u down ,...but even if u r obliged to,...plz dnt lose ur values & dnt let urself down,....coz if u lose urself u'll lose evth.....& i know u wont :)
dunno if this means anyth for u,...but after all years will pass,..each one will go in a way,..only the memories remain,...hopefully we'll look back & smile for good memories even in the toughest moments ever....!!
God bless u :)

Facebook Driven Life..!

for sure anyth can b used wisely or in a crazy way according to the person's control on it, but as i notice many ppl around using facebook as if it were the center of the life i just call it a "facebook driven life"...!!
if u look to some1 of this type of ppl u'll find him starting his day opening the browser to check facebook.
he searches for a catchy statement to write as the status wishing to get as much comments as possible from others .u may find silly statements changing frequently just to satisfy an inner need for ppl attention,appreciation,sympathy or anyth else he lacks.
u may find some1 announcing that his "soba3 regly el so3'ayar beyewga3ny" as his status,..& his friends just reply to wish him speed recovery or even make fun of him.
u may find som1 writing hidden messages for another friend,announcing sth,cursing some1,revealing a feeling,releasing anger...etc.
u also find him craving for any comment on his wall or anyth in his profile to comment back,...& if there's nth he just plays some games,..take quizzes,..add applications to feel that he made sth new,...till he finds some1 online to chat or till he gets a comment to read & reply...!!
he always adds albums & photos ,& u find him waiting desperately for more comments on his latest photos-sometimes this is due to an inner lack of confidence or just a search for popularity-.the photos comments is a crazy part in most cases & it always makes me laugh or even feel sick of the triviality it shows.
if it's a girls' community,..u find a certain style of comments such as :
"ooooooh my god ,u look so gorgeous" (even if she believes that the other one looks ugly)
"oh sweetie,...miss u so much" (even if she can't stand her)
"luf u,..muaaah" (i hate this kind of sound effects...yuk)
"Woooooooow,...u look like an angel" (even if she looks like a real devil without horns)
"Thaaaaaaaanx for ur sweeeeeet words,..kisses" (so what? ,...words r free,...dnt just live in the lie)
"u really look cute,...miss u mooooot" (so what about dialing her phone no. if u really miss her..!!?)
on the other hand if it's a boys' community,..u find another style of comments such as:
"eih ya maaaaan,...gamda a7'er 7aga "
"ah ya 3am ba2a,...maaaashy ;)"
"eshta ya prince"
"c u so soon dude"
& more of the vulgar & tough comments i dnt know for sure,..but anyway it's a matter of saying anyth about ayth ,..just to comment @ satisfy real & virtual needs....!!
actually y may find obsessed ppl hurrying to take photos for themselves anywhere & anytime just to add new albums & get more comments ,...& if a person is more & more obsessed with facebook u may find sth like "fatakat lovers" group or "mido"fun page....just to show their photos,& hear flattering from others,...how silly...!!!!
so this was just a part of the "facebook driven life",... it is not the worst case,..& some of it is acceptable & normal sometimes,...& we all use facebook for different purposes...but it can be bad if some1 is really obsessed with it that he sticks to it most of the time & seeks a satisfaction for his inner needs through it...!!!
so it's all about balance & wise use of anyth..!

Greatness Is Never a Given..!
surely i was interested to watch the ceremony , neither coz i like Obama nor coz i have high expectations from him concerning his foreign policy like some ppl do.i do know that the american foreign policy is pragmatic & days will proveto ppl that they were wrong & so optimistic to think that america will deal with the middle east gently just becoz Bush had gone...!!
i was just interested to c sth different,..sth i've never seen in my country & the surrounding ones(& may i wont c it till i die...!).
i wanted to watch the transfer of authority (which i've never witnessed in my life) , the EX-presidentS shaking hands & congratulating the new one (not from the graveyard like here),..the speeches (which i've never had patience to listen to from our president through my whole life),..the oath(which is a fake here) ,.. the gathering of the nation (which doesnt happen for any political reason coz they may go to jail after all if they r more than 5..!) ,..the shared celebrations (which we dont have the opportunity to experience) , the inspiration & the power of dreams (which r lost words in our daily vocabulary ) ....etc.
mayb some1 will say i'm just exaggerating coz i'm impressed by this freakin country-USA- which is not perfect after all .it has many many defects & problems internally & externally,..there r concerns related to some issues such as the election process,the democracy,the discrimination,..etc.
i do agree on the 2nd part it's not perfect & ppl just get impressed by it more than they supposed to,...& i'm not one of those, though i dnt agree to the 1st part coz i'm not exaggerating ,..i'm mentioning facts that evbody knows,...we r waaaay far from them in the democracy to the extent that we cant imagine a day when we can c a peaceful transfer of authority,..or c an EX-president alive,..or a normal man reaching this position ...it's kind of madness if u just think this would happen one day....!!
so after all it was an interesting event to watch,...just as an audience,..coz anyway if this man is different he'll b different to his country & his ppl,...no1 here should expect a better era (mayb it can b worse,..who knows?)...& it's not enough to wait the miracles from outside,...& after all evbody should learn the lesson & remember somthose words which i quote from Obama's inaugural address :
"Greatness is never a given , it must be earned."...!!!!

The White Coated Organism (AKA Dr's) Journey..!

as a matter of fact i was kind of involved in this journey so i'm celebrating her freedom(actually not a total freedom,coz...or never mind this is a complicated issue) by writing down some notes & thoughts concerning this journey..!!
one of the noticeable things that any medical student face is ppl's non-stop inquiries & comments concerning evthing,..& in most case they r so silly & repeated.
so let me mention some of those common comments & questions in a chronological order starting from the 1st year,..so here we go.
-in the 1st year:
*congratulations,but take care it's a loooong journey :s,..is it 6 or 7 years?...do u have a preparatory year?
{here u have to explain the system briefly ,being sure that no1 will get it..!!}
*OMG,u have a skeleton at home ,u study on real corpse ?!! poor girl,...how do u stand all this ...!!!!
{here u just smile & say it's ok trying to get out of this conversation}
-in the 2nd year:
*how's studying?...oh,u study anatomy...do u really deal with real corpses?(again),..i heared that some ppl get shocked & lose their consciousness in such situations,..don't u?!!!!
{here u try not to lose ur temper & say that u've heared this Q millions of times & u can stand the dead ppl coz they dont ask those silly Q's}
*do u have normal vacations like everybody?...i get lost in ur system...!!
{here u have to explain that the 1st four years are normal}
-in the 3rd year:
*sorry,which year is it?..the 2nd or the 3rd? how many years left?!..ur system is weird..!!
{here u explain-for the millionth time-that it's normal NORMAL in the 1st 4 years}
*which specialization would u like to choose?
{here u have to explain that it's early to ask this Q+it's a complicated issue}
-in the 4th year:
*so do u have a summer vacation?..i know some years are merged & u dnt have a summer vacation...!!!
{here u use all ur storage of patience to answer & say that the 1st 4 years are totally N-O-R-M-A-L...NORMAL!}
*oh,tell me,which specialization will u choose?
{again,u just explain that it's early to ask NOW..!}
