BA3BARA

I agree that "arfa3 rasak" gomla b tefakrna b mawakef kiteera,ahamha ayam el madrasa we el fasl lama el wa7ed yeb2a fasel we mosh taye2 el 7essa we yefakar yenamlo 7aba kida we ez b soot el modarsa el gahoor..anta yalla gamb el shibak.."arfa3 rasak".

anyway that's just an example that occured 2 me while writing the title,though it's not precisely wat i wanna talk about her.

well,i'll tell u a story..listen.

Nazaran l2n ana dont own a car we cant drive 2sasan,fa bat7eweg 7awga we7sha 2wy lel mashy fe shaware3 el 3asema..yes i love walking bs b yeb2a torture sa3at kiteera.

i used 2 walk alot, partly coz i prefer walking than any other means of transport. we bema en it's always hot and sunny seef we sheta i tend dayman 2 lower my head down while walking i dunno how or when this became a habit..a bad one:S

another reason also is that i hate the way fellow egyptians stare at others mahma kan shaklo we hay2to lazem el tatnee7,fa by looking at the ground i felt that i am avoding the whole matter.

el fekra en i never thought this was an issue y3ny until one day a friend took a notice of that and he was like.."efra3y rasek!!madam mashya fe el share3 yeb2a rasek fo2!"

gomla 3adya we mantekya bs the tone of his voice was too serious and i felt too small afterwards; why do i fear the sun ?el tan we el 7amdula kida kida b na7'do..why do i fear the ppl's stares..why do i keep my head down and make it a habit that's not easy 2 change.

reader..the idea akid here mosh "lama temshy fe el share3 erfa3 rasak y7san 3arbya tedosak..it's more general;
1-it's 2 easy 2 make a bad habit n 2 hard 2 give it up
2-if u get used 2 avoiding problems and turning ur face away from light u'll always b like this .u'll become a coward even before u realize it.
3-never hesitate 2 say no or enough to watever going wrong in ur life ,coz as long as ur head is down u r making a very small influence -barely none.
4-bel 3araby ma t7'fsh men 7ad-the one who'll look at u in the eye,stare back at him.."na3am?!"

u know some may think it's a silly story bs 2 me it meant alot,begad a lot of bad things in our life b tegy bel ta3awod.
if u used 2 fearing,avoiding,turning away,escaping..all this will b a pattern ,while if u raise ur head up and looked around that's the beauty.
u might recieve a smile from anonymous that makes ur day or notice an old friend running to u with wide arms..or even better u might notice someone who needs ur help and giving him a hand, u gain that unique feeling of satisfaction from God.

Dont waste chances by shutting ur eyes and walking with long steps to pass others..la "erfa3 rasak" n take ur time to feel how special u are among a whole population.
