Life will go on.

Since the last blog, many events has happened to me. I hope that I will be chosen to the job, after that tough, critical interview. If I will not be selected, the life will not end. I have other alternatives to this scenario. New study, new office, and a new apartment. I will concentrate on developing my body, to add more muscle mass and to have a bronzed skin. God help me.

Normal Life Disruption!

What is it like when you have a dear one at home who is severely diseased, and in need of constant care. Accident happens in a minute or so, and needs weeks of care. Sure, it causes major life disruption to the normal routine. But you will sure get more experience day after day, and then life will come again near to the normal. May God help us all.

Uncertain near future!

Today I realized that I must not build big hopes, about traveling to work abroad or pursuing further education, to the least in the near future. Many obstacles arose and became evident in front of my eyes. All the fog disappeared and facts are now crystal clear. I have to construct different realistic scenarios. Certainly I had some transient pain, but I learned through many experiences that I must not lament for long, better to pull oneself together and find new ways to get out of the tunnel.

Back again!

Last Monday, I published a blog full of depression, this one is not. During the past week, I had much of interesting work, which kept me busy and happy most of the time. It appears to me that I am a sort of workaholic but on the condition that the job is rewarding. Much work, little sleep, much achievement equal to me a part of a happy life. I will add some relaxation, music, friendly entourage and minimal tension, to give a quasi happy living. But this is not always the usual state of affairs. Despite all our failures, it will be invigorating and stimulating to think positive. Life after all is good and worth living.

Just wondering!

Imagine a man without a woman to love him. He is in his middle age, educated, well mannered, somewhat handsome, and with a very respectful job. He is feeling lost, powerless and depressed. He can't establish a enduring progressing friendship with a lady, not to mention marriage. Lots of troubles in his life, led him to this condition. Being from the middle class, not having enough money for living alone, not to mention to have a separate flat, he is having a hand-to-mouth life, with very little money left for anything else. The question is: how can this man live happily with a psychological balance?

Letting the steam out!

May all the bad people go to hell! I am writing these words to myself, because I lost hope and trust in everybody. I am astonished from the people's behavior, at work, in the street and in the community in general. What happened to the community? Hypocrisy, bad treatment, playing mischievously with words to harm others, loss of simple rules of courtesy, hatred, lying, and oppression to name just a few vices. Oh God, this society is going down the hill. To be noted is the rising tide of violence and delinquency. Cold blooded murders, rape of women, girls and boys, vengeance, kidnapping, assault under arms, all fill the newspaper everyday with a rising monotony. Despite that people go to places of worship in big numbers, we are going from bad to worse.
Can I continue living in this jungle? I am not a beast to continue struggling and I can't retaliate to get satisfied. Also the number of bad people that are potential criminals or enemies is above my capabilities to fight.
Well I have to think deeply, logically and systematically to get things right. Either fight or flight? That is the question. To be a human being, civilized and humane is what I wanted always to be. Not only that, but also to live in a good society with rules of conduct that are respected from the majority of the citizens. To interact with people that are high on the echelon of humanity is my hope.
Can this wish happen some happy day?

Physical Pain!

Pain is a dreadful enemy to every human being. The strange thing about it is that it comes from within, in most of the times, without any notice or alert. It can turn somebody's life into hell. It can occur to any one of us, at any age, whether rich or poor, male or female, living in the plains or on the mountains. It doesn't respect social circumstances either. In the climax of your success, pain can ruin everything. Is it evil? Is it punishment from the all mighty God? Is it a sort of purification? All those philosophical questions and more, can pass by one's mind when an attack of pain seizes him or her. To complicate our existence even more, pain comes from a wide door and just leaves from a narrow tunnel.

Happiness!

This is the word that every human being on this earth is searching, in his own way, for it. Is it present? Well I don't really know. Can it be complete, permanent and spontaneous? I have no straight answer to this question. Throughout the long history of Homo Sapiens on this globe, since the antiquity, this creature made his best to get it. Philosophers of all sorts, cultures, way of thinking or backgrounds, studied its notion. From Aristotle to Avicenna, everyone had his view of happiness. Even artists, actors, musicians, and writers had their version for the meaning of happiness. Politicians also can say that they have got all the means for their people to be happy.
But, is happiness an individual issue or a collective one? Does it concern the person alone or his surrounding also? Is it inborn or acquired?
Can it be taught? Do we have to pay for it? Is it a must to struggle to get it?
For how long will it last? What is the difference between joy, laughter and happiness? What causes happiness? What kills happiness? What blocks happiness? How can we generate and sustain happiness?
Do we have to live in misery and sadness? Is happiness forbidden in this earthy living? Is happiness only and truly present in Heaven?
Is it a fake or a mirage?
Science has proven that it is a real thing. When we receive positive good signals by our senses, our brain reacts by changing its waves and releasing certain neurotransmitters that provoke peace of mind and satisfaction. This has been proven beyond doubt, through many experiments using scanners for the brain and electroencephalography.
Also clinics for happiness have been established in many universities worldwide. Emphasis in these clinics is on group therapy and interaction between victims of depression attending the clinics. Every aspect of the personality of the patient is measured by questionnaires filled before the eight - week course. Thereafter a frequent self-assessment is carried out through other questionnaire during the course.
And it is working!

My new blog experience

Very recently, I came across an article in a newspaper describing (Weblog). It drew my attention, and interest as well. So I browsed (Google) to find more information on (Weblog). I found a plethora of informative details on the subject. I imagined what can that mean to me, in fact a lot. I decided to have my own weblog or simply blog. And here we are, thanks to the superb (blogger) web site and its easy building steps of a blog.
