Why do some people keep saying "I know
what I did was wrong, but I don't regret it, I'm consider it an
experience" Well excuse me, experience is the name we give
for our mistakes, having learned from your mistake doesn't mean it's not a
mistake, it's still a mistake and there's nothing wrong with regretting it Sometimes I remember things I did and I regret
them to the point of hitting myself on the head. I even feel afraid to remember
too many things lest I discover that I did something or blew a chance I had and
then I'll have more to regret. It doesn't mean I'm torturing myself, no, it's just
that I admit my mistakes so I don't repeat them, hopefully. Calling a mistake
an "experience" and having no regrets at all meaning you could go
back and repeat the same mistake, or "live the same experience" if
you may, doesn't it? Denying regret, I think, means you're not
willing to admit that you made a mistake, or afraid to do so. Regret isn't
something bad, what's wrong is to do something wrong and to know that it's
wrong and yet refuse to say that you regret it Just a thought…
في أشياء في الحياة ممكن الواحد يستوعبها، إنه هي بتصفي بالآخر زي ما تقولوا هيك قزز بس برضه الواحد بقدر يتعايش معها لدرجة معينة، يعني مثلاً بتخيل إنه كل واحد فينا سواء كان مشترك مع فاستلينك اللي صاروا يحكولها زين أو موبايلكم اللي تحولت لأورانج أو أمنية اللي طلعتلهم بالسحبة، كلنا كمواطنين أردنيين على اختلاف أسمائنا وأشكالنا وألواننا وأعراقنا وانتماءاتنا وعقدنا النفسية كلنا بجمعنا شيء واحد، وهو إنك بتكون قاعد في حالك لا إلك ولا عليك، ويمكن تكون بتستنى مسج مهم، وفجأة برن موبايلك، ون مسج ريسيفد يعني، بتقوم بتنط ويمكن تطلع من الحمام بسرعة لأنك مستني المسج صارلك ساعتين وأول ما تكبس "أوبن" يكون هول المفاجأة إنه المسج من رقم غريب، ومش رقم عادي إنه يضل عندك أمل وتقول شكلو عفاف معهاش كريديت، لأ! رقم مكون من 4 خانات، ومكتوب فيها: لتحميل أغاني عمر العبدللات اتصل على الرقم xxxx طيب ماشي، تجميل رنات وأغاني ومش عارف شو صحيح بالنسبة إلي شخصياً حكي فاضي في الأغلب بس يعني ممكن الواحد يستوعبه، حتى في أشياء تانية تافهة أو مش تافهة والواحد بفهم إنه ماشي الواحد بستوعبها، يعني ممكن يقولك أخبار أو رياضة أو معاني أسماء أو حدث في مثل هذا اليوم أو حتى أبراج وهبل، كله متعودين عليه، بس إنه توصلني مسج تقول: النصائح الذهبية للحصول على عريس، هاي بصراحة ما مرت علي قبل هيك! طبعاً من باب حب الاطلاع وأنا بكتب هادا البوست بعتت أشوف شو طبيعة هاي النصائح... عن جد يعني خلينا نفكر في المنطق، لما وحدة يكون كتير جاي عبالها تتجوز ويوصل فيها اليأس لدرجة إنه تستعين بخدمة تلفونية معروف وواضح إنه الهدف منها لم المصاري، لأنه ما أظن إنه اللي بعملوا هاي الخدمات مصدقين عن جد إنهم رح يحلوا مشكلة العنوسة والزواج غير المتكافىء في البلد لما يبعتوا مسج بتقول مثلاً: لا تجلسي في بيتك منتظرة فارس أحلامك بل ابحثي عنه ليجدك عن جد؟ لأ يعني عن جد عن جد؟ الموضوع مش موضوع عريس او أغاني تامر حسني أو صور ميرنا وخليل، المسألة مسألة قديش صاير في استخفاف في عقل المواطن حتى إنه صاروا يشوفوا صراف آلي يسحبوا منه مصاري بأي طريقة، بقرة يحلبوها تطلع ليرات أو بطة بتبيض دهب إذا سمعتها أغنية لعمرو دياب، يعني فهمنا ثورة اتصالات ومش عارف شو بس بالعقل... قززتونا! المهم، لما بعتت لخدمة عريس الغفلة أشوف شو قصتها عملولي اشتراك فيها، إذا أي حدا عنده فكرة كيف ممكن ألغي الاشتراك بدون ما أحرج حالي وأتصل بأورانج وأقولهم إني اشتركت بخدمة العرسان يا ريت تفيدوني... أو ممكن أقولهم خلص لقيت اللي بدي إياه، إلغي! يعطيكم العافية...
As it
turned out, traffic lights seem to be my new venue of inspiration
As I was
leaving work today, as usual, I had to stop at a traffic light, and since it
was Sunday and the traffic was heavy I had to wait a bit longer. So, I started
to get bored and I had that feeling or urge or whatever that I can't be just
sitting around waiting and listening to the radio, I had to do something, so I
fished out the scratch card I'd bought earlier to recharge my balance, and a
piaster to scratch it with, you know how they keep giving you piasters with
change especially those big super makrkets, someone should put an end to that! Nothing
must be sold for a price that's not a multiple of 5! Anyway, fidgety concerns
aside, I scratched the card, picked up my mobile and started to recharge the
balance, all the while sneaking a peek every other moment at the traffic light
to see if it's time to move, and before I knew it I found myself racing to type
those numbers and hit the button, and that's when I stopped and asked myself:
What am I doing?
I started
wondering, was it really about wanting a pastime while I waited or was it about
the thrill and exhilaration of meeting a deadline? Or perhaps I feel
that I need to actually do something all the time. Whatever happened to
relaxation and contemplation? And if it was about doing something, anything,
then what about those non-work-related things I've been meaning to catch up on
or even start with but never got around to doing them? And I'm not saying that
there wasn't time, there's always time, it's just that I use it to do other
things.
Recently
I've been favoring work with much of my time. The other day I was too
preoccupied with it that I actually dreamed about the file I was working on and
I hadn't finished yet. That's another sign I guess. And, you know recently when
I had the occasional toothache that crippled me for like 20 minutes if not more
and I couldn't do anything until the pain subsided, do you know what I once
thought? "How much work time have I missed during that painful
spell?"
So, if you
have any similar symptoms you are strongly advised to kick back before you kick
off. Other signs may include admiring career obsessed TV characters, working
late on weekends; underestimating the importance of sleep and feeling like your
eyes are filled with sawdust.
Bottom line,
work is great and everything, but when it starts to turn into an obsession and
starts to take the place of other things in your life that are no less
important than it, then you better nip it in the bud
Get well
soon
