an exclusion said to me after being asked to clap my hand (based on a theory that if you are right-handed you clap your right hand over the left and vice versa)
ehmm..I’ve been thinking since then…
was I really forced to grow up as a right-handed while I was supposed to be a natural left-handed?
could this theory be true…
If yes then who would be responsible of this?
and why would anyone do that?
Is it just a part of the opression that our society applies over its people; eliminating all forms of individuality only to make them fit more in the system.
what’s un”right” with being left-handed or what’s special about being right-handed?
what if most people were actually left-handed would that make any difference?
I’m wondering what if I was given the freedom to practice my “left-handedness” how different would have things been?
would I’ve been peeing in urinals that are more to the left?
would I’ve been putting my wallet, cellphone and key in my left pocket?
would I’ve been more emotional?
would I’ve been more socialist?
Reading the previous piece of news disturbed me and made me wonder why Lebanese people seem to be that attached to their homeland.
Inspite of all the political and economical instability; a war every couple of years. And as much as they seem to be scattered all over the world they never miss a chance to go back home or at least show their hope to do that and start all over again.
I dont really blame loyal Canadians for being jealous over their country, I just “envy” Lebanon for having whatever Jordan does not have.
Call me too optimistic but I think that Jordan has a great potential that might be the best in the middle east. and apparently the progression that Jordan has shown in the past ten years or so is much more than expected.
I know how frustrating it can get especially when no one is being advantaged by all that “multi billion” projects and investments (at least until now). But…well..at least the opportunity is here at our doorstep.
In the past year I have more than 6 friends who left the country. Well, one of them has already come back (way to go beesan!) the others “might” come back in a couple of years.
I know many others who are either applying for immigration or waiting for their papers or just dreaming about it.
I just feel that in few years I’ll be the only one staying in Jordan with no one left but fanatics and Iraqis (not that I have any problem with Iraqis but they are the only ones who seem to be coming to Jordan not leaving it).
I’m afraid that someday I’ll wake up to find my self in a “small home in Canada” whose “roof is covered with snow” that Fairouz sings for and then suddenly run to the internet and quickly erase this post in shame.
