ADDICTION : TO PEOPLE

Since Recently ,

I have realized that people are not only addicted to substances but also to people .Yes , people ! , you might not think this is not possible because you are wondering how does one get addicted to another person ? .Well just as how drugs give you a high , people tend to give people these same feelings , make them feel important , their self worth feels elevated by being with these persons , they’re emotionally dependent on these people to be happy .But is it healthy ? Is the relationship toxic ? Are you clingy or over possessive ?

In a list does the negative things you get from the relationship outweigh the positive ?

When was the last  time you had a meal by yourself ?

Or it might be a friend who you notice always wants to be with you even when it’s inconvenient , has a bad influence on you , or keeps getting you in serious trouble.

This person has hurt you in a number of ways but you still look at the positive ,to the periods in time when they made you feel good and like a junkie you’re waiting for another shot of self esteem or appreciation or love .Therefore they tend to use you .

How do you get over this addiction?

First determine if it’s an addiction , is this a recurring thing as in with past lovers or the types of friends you choose ?

Spend time with yourself ,  know yourself , enjoy your own company .Love yourself , set personal goals ,work on your weak spots , elevate your own self esteem and worth . Introduce positive people and things in your life .And no it won’t be easy but you’ll start feeling the positive changes around you .

LAUGH

I love the way you laugh

So much until you start to cry

And your eyes light up

Just like the morning sky

The sounds you make

And the air whistling through your teeth

I thought good heavens

how much more beautiful could you be ?

FEMALE TV HOST IN LEBANON TOLD TO SHUT UP

Since Recently

It has come to my attention that a television host in Lebanon, Rima Karaki was insulted by a male guest Sheikh Hani Al Sibai who lived in London on Lebanese television station Al Jadeed. He was asked the question of whether Christians were joining or being atracted to IS.He then proceeded to start giving the history on the topic of discussion to which the tv host tells him air time is limited and if the question could be directly answered .Karaki told him that other questions would not be asked if he didn’t answer the question at hand due to the limited airtime .His reply was ‘Are you done ? Shut up so I can talk ”

The tv host asked “How can a respected Sheikh like yourself tell a tv host to shut up ?”

He replied “It’s beneath me to be interviewed by you . You are a woman who…”

She then cut him off at that point and said ” Either there is  mutual respect  or the conversation is over .”

Kudos to this woman , who in a country and religion dominated by men she stood up for herself as she was being disrespected on air by a man who was supposed to have known better .You have embarassed yourself  , being a man of Islam and we are yet to hear an apology from him . Now people have always had their ideas about Islam and he further cemented these ideas .But what was also brought to the forefront was how Islamic women are treated by males .He declared that it was beneath him to interviewed Karaki and told her to shut up .

It shows a lack of respect for women and that women are viewed as a lesser breed compared to man especially in Islam .In these ‘modern’ times it seems that whatever religion or race we are what we lack is respect .

So to the courageous Rima Karaki you just made all women proud and even if it does not seem like much it is a start that men shouldn’t talk to us as they choose and without respect just because we are women and not men .

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

International women’s day is celebrated on the 8th of March every year .It is to celebrate the achievement women have made in this world , economically , socially , politically etc .Also it is a day in which women are appreciated and are taught to be proud of their gender  .

So to all the beautiful , hard working and inspiring  women out there .Happy International Women’s Day !!!

SIMPLE MANNERS AND CHIVALRY

Since Recently ,

I have noticed that our society has forgotten simple manners and chivalry or they weren’t taught any . It is bad enough seeing it in children but in grown adults worse . Please , thank you , excuse me , I am sorry . We are now behaving like  wild animals. What has happened to us ?  . Good manners show respect for people irrespective of their age or size , whether you are familiar with them or it’s a total stranger .

When has it become acceptable to push down people instead of saying  excuse me ?  , To accidentally step on someone’s foot and not even apologize . And then when we are compared to wild animals everybody gets offended . It’s just a rule society is trying to impose on you  ? . Fine , but when it happens to you then it’s the start of world war three .

Men say women want equal rights so they should open there own doors , they should hold the door until they go in . Fine .But what does that say about you as a man ?

I’m not saying you have to go all out . No i’m just saying there are basic mannerisms that  should be displayed . I understand that sometimes women go over board expecting men to be slaves and use chivalry as an excuse but there is the negative and positive to everything .

Good manners will carry you sometimes places where money nor education can’t carry you and remember it’s free ! It doesn’t cost you anything .

LOVE

They told me about love

That it’s something that you feel

I tried out all my feelings

And wondered what was wrong with me

I haven’t gotten love , then they said first you need a heart

But why go through all that trouble to have something so precious fall apart

So I finally bought the heart

Not the cheap ones they’re selling nowadays ,

One that’s big and strong

So if you see my love somewhere

Please direct him to my heart ?

P.S. I hope you like it .

WHAT ?

I go away a lot.

Just in my mind .

People always give me these weird looks .

But I always retreat to that period in time   .

It’s much better there , you should come with me sometimes ?

I promise you it’s almost like heaven , if you ever had an idea of what heaven is like .

So all the time people tell me to come back home .

But I don’t want to , here it’s too cold .

Sometimes I’m just thinking .

They say what have I got to think so much about?

You wouldn’t believe or understand because most of them are night mares compared to your resplendent dreams .
