I receive several comments and mails urging me to forgive. I have nothing against forgiveness. Forgiveness frees. However I do have a problem and am stuck...so maybe you can help me. How on earth does one forgive when the slight, abuse, humiliation, cruelty, destruction, annihilation is ongoing....Day in, day out. How? Forgiveness necessitates truce, a time out, a moment of peace... Forgiveness necessitates distance from the predator, from the abuser.It also needs a time of healing. It needs amends, corrections, rectifications, for all the damage. How on earth can you expect anyone to forgive when none of the above conditions are there? And moreover, why do you expect me, us, Iraqis to forgive you when there is no intention or change of course on your part? What are we supposed to do with our dead ones, our injured ones, our memories, our lost hopes, our vanished dreams? What are we supposed to do with our exile, our losses, our uprootedness? And even if we suddenly metamorphose into s

Things change but Nature is ever lasting it keeps refreshing our thoughts and enchanting our souls. Nature keeps adding more and more beauty to the environment. So does the lady who hides in black.
You mentioned yer interest in death in one of yer posts. Death..that passing along seems to be in many ways the 'final frontier'.
Isnt it ironic that we come into this World and we cant even remember it or at the time we are not capable of describing that expereince. WOW, what an entry ! :-) All the bright lights, attention and fan fare and we cant even recall it.
I hope when I meet Death that I am fully conscious. I dont want any of this passing away while unconscious or worse yet..in my sleep. I dont want Life to bargain with Death so that in my final moments of existence, this experience is stolen from me.
You are comfortable with yourself Layla

Seeing as you didn't finish your pizza, maybe you didn't go there because you were hungry.... Well not for food anyway.

Here's a very small sample of "rights & freedoms" in Ameranazica.

The Talibans are putting the US to rout in Afghanistan...with all due respect for everybody who fights back against injustice, but...the Talibans, those semi-literated obscurantist boors for heck's sake !!!!!!
And our highly educated, enlightened, secular, progressive, visionary, revolutionary, Pan-Arabist forces spend their time sitting on armchairs masturbating their pc keyboards with one hand and counting US Sahwa $$$ with the other !!!!!!
God, tell me it's not true because I can't take any more of this...

You love Nature- so do I. Nature is endowed with variety of beauty, e.g. fragrances of the roses, silent flowing streams and falling leaves.

tahnks sindbad, i found your post very soothing
thank you...you are a great woman-person.
Thank you.
But am not some morbid macabre obsessive about death sort of person...I just find death a fascinating transit...
Having said that, what bothers me most about the "human condition" is their inability to think of their own finity...hence their stupidity.
I say to myself and to you -- PATIENCE. Afghanistan is not Iraq and vice versa and remember there is no Iran and no Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan !!!!
you disappoint me... Take a crash course in women in their 40's will you please ?
Still, you are right, the waiter had nothing to do with my existential pizza...
Yes I do love nature...You must be a quite observant follower...
Did you ever notice that ? That the whole universe is represented in a leaf. Just look at a leaf and see how one leaf, has a source and off shoots...

Something typically Iraqi or something typically Indian.
I was hungry...but not for that waiter :-)
My mother tried to kill my sister. I remember it inbits & pieces. We were talking of this tonite..kind of re-living moments with 'mommy-dearest. I was 9 at the time, the youngest. Her doctor friend was in on it too.
11 years ago she got away with killing my stepfather..all for the money and walked away with it all as cool as a cucumber. On eof my sisters and I knw our stepfather wouldnt last long once our mother removed him from the nursing home and took him home. Oh no; One day my sister & I went to her sliding glass door at the back of her house and there sat mommy dearest.....all bundled up on the sofa with blankets on her while our stepfather lay on his hosptital bed with his underwear on....freezing of course cus she had the air conditioner on. See, if he got pnuemonia and died..it would all play out so conveniant for her. Thats why seh took him home; to kill him.
He was dead within the week she took him home.
Anyway.....yer right. Wrongs committed do have a way of righting themselves eventually.
I have to disagree with you there.
Who do you think the "Northern Alliance" is supported and funded by, the same Northern Alliance in power now.
iran is nearly as involved in Afghanistan as IT is in Iraq, i said nearly.
In fact iran played the same role facilitating the invasion of Afghanistan as it did with the invasion of Iraq.
NO!
When I said no Iran in Afghanistan I meant no Iranian militias and death squads...
