today i got a visit from an old friend
he have been studying abroad for some time now, and i remember him vividly, he was the one who would say the most outrageous things, that me, as the younger one, were always amazed by, but as time went on, i started to realize how naive i have been,
but i couldn't be happier of the way the experience have brought him up, he's a changed man, i could sense it in his tone, the way he perceived the world, and talked about life,
the thing that was so true, was his view of our population, "when you are in a park out there, you run across mothers and babies strolling through, were you casually play along with the little baby, while he smiles that biggish smile of his and makes your way", "i don't think you can have that in Jordan, you will most probably start a fight if you do so",
maybe the baby thing is not the best example, but we are known for being really unpleasant most of the time, passing by the street, if you smile in the faces of the people, you will most probably be laughed at (not with).
yet again, change doesn't happen overnight, but it isn't that hard, all it needs are the gestures and the work of the little people, Us, maybe next time we're passing down one of our streets, we'll smile once or twice, or maybe say "Ya3teek El 3afieh" to the Egyptian who's sweeping the street, am sure you will make someone's day!
Keep Smiling People! :D
