Two Mice in cream bucket
I was watching “Catch me if you can” movie yesterday and I was inspired by a specific part when one of actors was giving a speech and I really liked an example he used to refer to his struggle with life; I’d like to share that with you, he said:
“Two mice fell in a bucket of cream first one give up quickly and drown in the cream, but the second mouse did not give up and struggled a lot till he turned the cream into butter and got out from the bucket.”
I really liked the spirit and was inspired by this story.
Internet vs God
I read a nice blog entry, the blogger is saying we may have faith and interest in Internet than God.
I mean if we lost Internet connection we bing it a lot and for hours in hope to get response, although we do not do the same with God.
I wish we can talk to God, ask Him, and bing Him as we have passion to do with Internet.
Coptic Christmas 2010 in so called “mother of world” Egypt
We blamed Algerians for attacking Egyptian football team fans in Sudan, we described them evils, uncivilized, savages, killers, and more, TV shows and news papers talked about that for several days and show us how our people were terrified in Sudan and had a very terrible time; and thank God nobody was killed some injuries and delay in returning trips.
Yesterday (01/06/2010) was the Orthodox Christmas eve, and Copts always go to churches at night to attend feast celebration and sermonies, so yesterday after Copts left the church at Nagaa Hamadi in Egypt they were attacked by their neighbors Muslim Egyptians and instead of saying Merry Christmas and throwing flower and roses they threw bullets and fear; result was about 6 dead Christians plus church guard, many injuries (21 Christians according to news) and I would say terrible night, and according to news too Bishop Kirrolos was targeted by the attack also. Egypt government says it is response for a Muslim girl that was raped by Christian man 2 months ago.
My point here is we have to deal with both situations (Algerians and yesterday attackers) the same, we have to announce we have problems and religious discrimination is one of them, it is not the only one of course but we should not blame the mentally sick people for every bad event, we are living in a sick society and we have to confess that in order to fix it, although fixing it may take generations that is if we agreed to fix it first.
We have corruption in most (if not all) government and non-government entities, Egyptian citizen is the least treated person in his own country, they suffer to get their daily bread, and get real education (I am not saying good education), and more, you can visit some of Egyptian blogs to figure out how the bad situation is.
Actually we have issues even in human relationships between each other even our society is corrupted not only the entities, how can we ask Algerian not to threaten our people in Sudan and Algeria, or Israelis to stop attack Palestinians and kill them, if we are already killing each other.
I think we need to identify and confess our problems, and to stop only saying slogans but to apply it, I think it should be our first step show up our corruption so we can deal with it.

٣- علمتني الحياه – المدينة الفاضلة
هي فكرة بنيت على “جمهورية أرسطو” التي تنسب لأحد فلاسفة اليونان “أرسطو” أو “Plato”؛ وهي نسخة محسنة من الديمقراطية حيث تظهر محاسن المدينة وتسيطر الفضائل ويختفي الشر والفقر والحروب، ثم بلورت تلك الفكرة في شكل “المدينة الفاضلة” أو “Utopia” في إحدى كتب السيد “توماس مور” -Thomas More- في عام ١٥١٦.
٢ – علمتني الحياه – قواعد الأحلام
١- علمتني الحياه – تنتهي الأشياء بنهايتها
هناك بعض الأحداث والعلامات التي تحدد نهاية الأشياء، وعندما نراها أو نشعر بها ندرك اننا أدركنا نهاية شئ ما، مثل:ـ
– ينتهي العام ببلوغ أخر أيام شهر ديسمبر.
– ينتهي الفيلم بظهور كلمة “النهاية” أو “The end” مع عرض لأسماء ابطال العمل.
– تنتهي الحياه بتوقف وظائف القلب و المخ.
– ينتهي قدح القهوة مع أخر رشفة من محتواه ذو الرائحة المنعشة.
ولكن هذه كلها نهايات واضحة بها يدرك عقلنا إنتهاء هذه الاشياء ويتقبل النتائج. لكن هناك بعض المواقف و الأشياء التي يرفض عقلنا أن يعترف بنهايتها ربما خوفاً من التخلي عنها. ويظل متشبثاً بها بالرغم من تبعيات ذلك، و أظن أن تلك هي الأشياء الأكثر خطورة. لأن في الأغلب ما تكون هذه الاشياء في أشد الحاجة لنهاية؛ مثل تشبثنا بفكرة أو حلم لا يمكن تحقيقه أو تعلقنا بشخص لا يمكن الإرتباط به. ولا أقصد هنا التخلي عن أهدفنا أو طموحاتنا أو من نحب ولكن يجب أن نضع هذه الأهداف في إطار “قابل للتحقيق” وسوف أتكلم عن هذا الموضوع بشيء من التفصيل في وقت لاحق
لذا علمتني الحياه أن أتعلم كيف أتقبل نهاية الأشياء؛ فهذا درس بسيط الشرح؛ صعب التطبيق؛ ببساطة “تنتهي الأشياء بنهايتها”. قد تبدو عبارة بديهية وليست في حاجة إلى كل ذلك الكلام، ولكن سوف تدرك مع الأيام أنه أحياناً لا ندرك النهاية فعلياً رغم وضوحها إلا بعد أن يصدمنا الواقع بشكل قاسي.
