لا تفعل عشراً فتسمع عشراً: لا تتدخل فيما لا يعنيك فتسمع ما لا يرضيك، ولا تتكلم وأنت مغضب فتسمع ما يزيدك غضباً، ولا تمدح مغروراً فتسمع منه ما فيه احتقارك، ولا تشك إلى من لا يغار عليك فتسمع منه ما يزيد في آلامك، ولا تبد سخطك على جاهل فتسمع منه ما يزيدك غيظاً، ولا تنصح من يستهين بك فتسمع منه ما يشعر بامتهانك، ولا تعظ مفتوناً برأيه فتسمع منه ما يزري برأيك، ولا تتحدث إلى متخاصمين بما يسخطهما فتسمع منهما ما يجعلك ثالثهما، ولا تذكر زوجتك وهي مغضبة بما قدمت لها من خير فتسمع منها إنكار ذلك كله، ولا تدل بأبوتك على ولدك العاق الجاهل، فتسمع منه ما تتمنى معه أن لا تكون ولدته!.

10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness. 
“If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either.  You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.”

No Coffee, No Tobacco… Just a glimpse of a good day with great people.

We were all born as humans; not chimps, not lizards, but Humans. This blessing that was given to us by our creator; the blessing to be the most powerful creatures, the ability to do what we want, whenever we want and however we want to. Misusing this is something our race is infamous for! We have been able to rank ourselves as the deadliest animals, we have been able to mark ourselves as the only animals that kill each other for no purpose, and the only creatures to ever become the lead our beautiful planet Earth to destruction. On the other hand, some of us are trying to be the good ones. Some of us are trying to point out the faults in our world, and seek fixing them. Is each of them focusing on the right fault, though? Are we really trying to fix our world? Or is that we are only trying to birth an illusion that we care just to adopt an idea that we never started!

I have named this blog “Coffee and Tobacco” because they are two things that I enjoy too much, not because everyone is talking about them, or because all people love them. I have chosen an idea because it fits me, not because others would find it amusing. I try to apply this to most of my interests, and I wished people could agree with me on this by drawing it out onto themselves; my thoughts and opinions shouldn’t change a person, but they sure as hell must be taken into consideration! 

This whole fuss about politics; wether it was the Middle East, Iran, Uganda, rebellious acts in different countries, why is it taking so much time out of everyone and not causing any action? Is there something wrong in what is being done to solve all of these issues? No! What, in my opinion, is wrong with our world is that we don’t know what to focus on. Our youth is only focusing on being active… Ok? Active towards what? Humanity? Peace? Humanity and Peace? Vegetables? The Ozone? Planet Earth? A Zombie Apocalypse? 

My point is: If only each individual would focus on problems that truly matter to him\herself, problems that lie within this particular individual’s mental radius, matters that CAN be sorted out through that individual, we’d lose problems and start getting results faster!! 

I feel pity towards the Ugandan people, I do wish things would get better and that KONY Campaign would actually help capture Kony, but can I do anything to support other than repost a banner? No! Will I try to do anything else to support them? NO!! 

Why, you heartless man, you ask? Well because MY PEOPLE are dying. Daily. For the past century. Not one campaign to help them has been launched internationally! Not one of them was rescued because the people asked for it. “Democracy” was brought to our countries when they weren’t needed. Yet, when the people ask “democracy” to intervene, it bails out and “wish for the best.”

People, set your priorities straight. Feel for mankind, but, before any others, support your own kind.
