identity, Jan 9 06: where i come from does not
exist. so i dont exist. but im here.
and i need to prove it.
people, Nov 9, 05: they listen to their surroundings
more than they listen to themselves [hearts]. and that's what's
wrong with them.
what i said to zeina, Aug 21,05: i
think that even though culture and religion play a big role in
one's behavior, i feel that we generalize too much clumping up
a whole group of people and associating them with that one behavior
that we hate about the person that belongs to the group, when,
in reality, anyone in this world couldve been that person
or could act on that one behavior that we hate. i had
the liberty to say this because i feel the same about those men
since i am expected to end up with one of them.
this is what missing a stupid flight does
to me, Jun 28, 05: why is it okay
to kill a dirty ol fly? why do i hesitate smashing a moth? why
is it totally not okay squishing a pretty butterfly? we
judge by the cover.
forgive them;
Dec 15, 04: i was hurt so much last night i cried for
the lives of all people in the past and present. you can say
people who lived and/or died unjustly. but really, even for the
evil, arrogant, selfish, unjust, hardhearted and blind people
for they know not what they do and knew not what they did. call
her a saint or call her crazy, joan of arc was real. and i wouldve
stood next to khalil the heretic. i doubted Your mercifulness
for a minute. we discussed heaven and hell and i refused to
believe in hell as an eternity for a punishment and hoped it
would be just banishment from existence. because i trust in You.
we discussed piety.
and i think there's still hope. but history's been violent and
it hasnt changed. and i felt useless because of that. i felt
small for the big dreams i have. you reminded me of hope. and
i remembered last sunday faith and love. and i added
patience. i need strength. that's all i need. strength to love.
because love is the most important of them all [and it's a shame
that people might not understand what this love is].
