Easter memory!
On this particular day, something popped up in my mind and it was a nice memory from my family life with my late elders. Each year on the day of Coptic Easter, the TV and Radio air a live transmission of the Mass held in Abbaseyah Cathedral in Cairo on this occasion. So, my father and mother waited for this yearly celebration and switched either the TV or the radio to watch or to listen to the Mass. We all enjoyed it and learnt even some words of the Coptic language. It was something regular on our household yearly agenda and it was something untold to other people hitherto. It was good.
RIP father and mother.

I am a man, who can be found everywhere. I am not self-centered. I am proud of myself, and what I have been to until now. I have dreams, and hopes for me and for all the good people, and even for the bad ones. I believe that self-discovery is a long and hard process, that only intelligent, alert, open-minded people can endure. This blog is part of my self-discovery. Do not undervalue me, I am a human being.

Being open-minded is not easy. You can hold a PhD degree, and be so narrow-minded and psychopath, causing much harm to your entourage, and even your presence in a place cause much stress and tension in the air. We are born open-minded, I believe, but our minds can get narrower and narrower as we grow by a certain social conditionning or a religious dogma or a certain idelogy infusion. But because, during our childhood, we were not taught the tools of critical thinking, we can fall into hatred, or extremism or fundamentalist thinking. The problem can continue throughout our life, unless we discover that this is wrong. Though we can help ourselves become more humane and less of a robot. Reading through a wide spectrum of knowledge, is the prime remedy, only we have to keep our minds open to discovery. After not too long, we will find that we are ignorant. We may fall into despair, but we must persevere in our quest for wisdom. Socializing with different people of different jobs, class, education, culture, will be very beneficial . Travel a lot and you will gain more knowledge. It is not the matter, how much information you know, but the more important is how you use this information, to be more humane, more civilized, more constructive and more compassionate. Arts in different forms are not only for detente, or amusement, they affect our spirit, and shape our feelings. Be active. Get out of your cocoon.
