I was pondering today in my way back home about the western societies and how they made all of this unimaginable success a reality that they nowadays posses. I dived deep in the ocean of my thoughts, trying hopelessly to find a legitimate reason that explains the failure in our societies, yet I failed!!! , we don't have a reason not to develop, not to succeed, not to build skyscrapers and to live happily.
We got to stop blaming situations and start working, “we create situations they don’t make our fate “, we are the makers here not the takers.
In the town I’ am living in, the weather for 6 months ranges from -20 down to -50 , "its a freezing country" , yet people are not blaming the weather and live all their lives in caves like the bears , they go up to work everyday at 7:30 am ( sometimes before sunshine ) and come back at 6:00 pm hard work fellows!, not a lazy work like ours.
I like to imagine the Arabic world like the sleeping beauty, cant wake up, or can but considering the evil around her prefers to keep on sleeping.
Where other countries are focused on developing world-class competitive industries, we are still focused on protecting our uncompetitive ones. Where others are aggressively trading with the world, we barely trade with each other. Where others are reaching the peak of freedom and human rights we are going down to the darkness of the middle ages. Though I personally hate Bill Clinton I liked his litter to the Arabic streets and masses where he said “When I ask Arab leaders why South Korea had roughly the same per capita income in the early 1950s as Syria or Egypt, and now South Korea is a highly developed country and Syria and Egypt are still developing. The answer I get is that the Arab states had to fight wars .Well; South Korea had a struggle with North Korea for decades. Another excuse I get is that the Arab states had population problems. Well, so does China, and it’s been growing at 10 percent per year. Your intellectuals seem more interested in protecting their perks by coming up with excuses for the weakness of their regimes than in fostering an honest debate”.
Well, thanks Mr. Bell for stating the obvious, though you and our leaders are the secret of this failure, we the Arabic masses are not going to surrender we are not putting our heads under your shoes , and if you try so we’ll bite!!!.
Its time for the sleeping beauty to wake up by herself, the prince is not coming anymore!! .
