What 's To Come is Still Unsure ....

What 's To Come is Still Unsure ....

Days pass by so quickly  ,,,months ,, years ,, decades and we are not even aware how suddenly we have grew older ,lived a life which made us what we are ... we might have struggled ,, fallen ill ,, enjoyed beautiful time ,, suffered bitter years ,,, met  good nice people ,,,bad mean monsters ,,, overcome difficulties ,,, undergone painful experiences ,,all sorts of good and bad ,,, happy and sad ,, true and false ,,,rich and poor ,,,blessed and cursed ,,, different events ,,,people ,,, times ,,, suddenly we look back at our life to see how strong we have become going through all these times ,,, but NO REGRET ,,, because all these experiences have given us our strong personalities and despite all the passive and negative times and people ,,,God has always been with us ,, granting us His blessings and bliss ,,, en lighting our way and supporting us ,,, we have finally survived all these  obstacles ,,wars ,,malicious people ,,, hard times ,, diseases ,, and we could raise our heads and stand tall ,,proud of our strength ,,,our love to God ,,,His love to us which has build a concrete will to defy and challenge all worthless attempt by others to break us and by our faith and belief in God that has given us a spirit to tolerate and bear every poisonous soul that stood against us ,,even if from the nearest people to us ,,,
Nowadays , recent researches have been emphasizing the positive effect of PRAYING on patients of cancer and other deadly diseases ,,I , personally , would like here to confirm this  fact because what makes me  so strong as to challenge cancer as well as  other  diseases living all alone for three years in another country ,,with no soul except my FAITH in God ,,, my prayers and patience have helped me a lot ,, my patience has given me special syrup ,,that strengthens my spirit ,,my soul and possibly my body ,,, any other woman in this situation would have not stood all these problems ,,,
I recall hereby  William Shakespeare 's sentence in one of his sonnets :
What's to come is still unsure ...
I wonder whether I will survive another season 
or shall I be dead ???
If it is my end now ,,,soon ,,who knows when will one die ,,,no one does ,,we all live our days as if we will live tomorrow ,,but - who knows?
I welcome death if it is near ,,,
I welcome life ,,if I will survive ,,,
I keep my prayers not because I beg God to cure me ,,or to give me another day to live ,,,but I pray to Him to give Him my thanks for all the blessings and bliss that He has granted me throughout my life ,,

There is NO impossible because God  can do anything and  I know that He can do miracles ,,He has granted me many miracles throughout all my life ,,,so I am optimistic ,,and I welcome everything that happens to me ,,,sad , painful , whatever ,,,no sorrow,, no regret ,,,

Thanks to God for everything ,,,thanks for Him as much as all His creations ,,,
Thanks God you have granted me a life ...
Thanks God for every day and for everything ...

The Monsters Inside Us

The Monsters Inside Us

Throughout history ,,we read about savages  ,, monsters , , warmongers ,,, beasts ,, cruel people ruling ,,by time this phenomenon has become so obvious that  no one can rule unless he is a bloody monster ,,,thus we have

   witnessed wars constantly ,, all over the whole world ,,, torture ,,, violence and terror has become the trade mark of this age ,,, To analyse this ,,we all are aware that to dominate a country ,,, a nation ,, the world ,, it is always strength that is  needed ,,, yet they have gone too far ,, strength is not enough here -  BUT barbarism ,,    brutality ,and evil are nowadays the best adjectives used to  describe and qualify all those who rule all over the  globe  - except minor countries wherein this evil spirit of domination has not been spread or those are not contaminated because they still have the sense and spirit of humanity which has become very rare in the world ...

We understand that this greed is for power ,,, for positions ,, for political prestige and domination,,, so we - in a way- realize the truth behind this EVIL spirit ,,,,BUT how about this plague entering our own houses ,, our own life ... our own families ,,,STRANGE ,,BUT TRUE ,,, when men suddenly change into beasts ,,, savages ,,, brutal war mongers inside their own houses with their own families and spouses ,,, how can we explain or justify ---( THOUGH IT IS NOT AT ALL JUSTIFIED IN ANY SITUATION -WHETHER POLITICALLY ,SOCIALLY ,,or WHATSOEVER) --- so how can we comprehend or understand this UGLY phenomenon ,,, when humans behave as savages ,,,when while becomes black ,,, when a person suddenly changes all his manners ,,,morals ,,, principles because of greed ,,,, then how do we explain this ,,, again I think it is for the sake of power ,,, psychologically ,,it is the inferiority complex that makes  persons change their  attitudes   - of course this applies for both sexes = men as well as women ,,,  it is the  beast inside the human souls that arouses brutal  savage hormones which changes humanity into brutality ...

Ten Years After the USA Invasion of Iraq

Ten Years After the USA Invasion of Iraq 

After ten years of invasion Iraq is still drowning in chaos , insecurity , constant and daily blood baths of slaughtering , unemployment , administrative corruption , pollution, diseases , lack of electricity , lack of hygiene , terror , a new sectarian war has started again , ,,,,

All parts of Iraq have gone hundred years backward 

EXCEPT the NORTH  which has been flourishing because the KURDS had had a treaty since the time of Saddam Husain with ISRAEL( THE ZIONISTS )  & THE USA ,,,

so they are doing whatever they want stealing the oil and selling it though it is against the constitution ,,,due to the weakness of the central government ,,the KURDS have dominated every thing and they are stealing Iraq's wealth as much as the AMERICANS & ISRAEL do ..

here are some pictures lest we forget what happened to beautiful Baghdad in March 2003 

I wonder why si that the USA souls are more precious that NON_ AMERICAN souls ,,,who has stated this ,,,God has created all and it si only HE who can take our souls ,,,YET the USA ha sbeen killing and slaughtering innocent people all over the whole world and no one ever can say a word ??

IS THAT FAIR ,,,,

My name is Baghdad, Je m'appelle Bagdad

To The Memory of My Beloved Father

To The Memory of My Beloved  Father 

When you  love a person so much ,,it becomes impossible to forget him even if he had left this world and gone to the other world ,,,you remember every bits and pieces ,,,every movement,, every minute you have spent with that person becomes a sacred memory ,,, a sacred event ,,, it sounds as though the dead body has gone but the soul is still hanging around with you ,,, 
 This is how I feel about my  dear father ...it has been more than two decades since my beloved father left this earthly world ,,,yet I still live with him or shall I say he still lives with me ,,,I dream of him almost every week ,,, sometimes every day ,,,
My father was the best father ever,, he was kind , good hear-ted ,  generous , devoted to his family , funny, sociable,  compassionate , sympathetic , tolerant , understanding , educated , sweet , gentle , loving , caring and most of all he has dedicated all his time and life to us...he was loved by all the neighbors ,,, those with whom he worked ,,,people around him ,,people always admired his character and gentle personality  , 
When we were young children , he used to encourage us in our study and school ,,, I still remember how he taught me English alphabets , cursive writings and English songs for children ,,,he always encouraged me to pursue my higher studies and he said to me :
" I want to be proud of you ,, you are clever and hard working so you get the highest degrees ,,he encouraged me to travel to London alone for the first time in my life ,,he was a wonderful father ,,,  once I was supervising a test in the college of Arts / Mustansiriyah Univ. and we were asked to write down our name s and sign a paper for the registration unit ,,, when I wrote my name ,,,one of the doctors who was among the  supervising staff looked at me and said:
" Are you the daughter of Mahdi Al-Nakkash ??"
I said :  "  Yes, do you know him ?"
And to my surprise , he was describing my father and praising him ,,which made me so proud of him ,,, he kept asking me about him and he thought that my father had left Iraq...I then told him that my father has passed away ,, that professor became sad and he kept praying to my father's soul ,,,
My father worked as a car painter ,,he held a large garage for painting cars ,,, selling car paints and that sort of job ,,he was one of the four most famous decent car painters in Iraq ,,, since the fifties he kept his work as the best among others ,,,he was famous for his decency and honesty ,, that si what every one whom we met later on told us ,,,all his apprentices have become famous ,,, he used to teach them and treat them as though they were his own sons ,,, I remember many times when we were small children how he used to bring those boys home ,, feed them and make my mother care for them ,,,some of those were his friends' children whom their fathers want to make them learn a profession ,,,so they brought them to my father because they knew that my father was the best and kindest ,,,
Most of those have become now famous painters in Iraq ,,,
His decency was so obvious when he used to charge very little for painting cars - at the time when all his apprentices who left him and started their own jobs were charging triple times as he did despite that fact that he was the master who did the work perfectly ,,,he used to say ,, it is not legal , nor prohibited to charge a lot ,,,that is how he got his reputation and that is how he earned every penny ,,,he was a model ,,, an icon ,,, an ideal example for honesty and decency ,,,that was my  beloved father ...that was Mahdi Al-Nakkash,,,May God bless his soul 
prayers for your soul dear dad ...

Why Worry !!!

Why Worry  !!

Ever since I was a small child , I have seen people around me worrying all the time = for good reasons as well as bad reasons ,,, if anyone got  ill , failed a test , delayed , did not get what they want ,,,,and so on and so forth ,,, I saw my parents worried all the time about us ,,,especially my mother who was the worrying type ,,,I thought at that time that this worry is part of our inside emotional feeling which is built inside us ,,
Culture , faith , education and the way people are brought up constitute a lot to this WORRY ,,, Arabs are always worrying about the slightest minor matters ,,,if we come to religion ,,Islam never encourages this passive attitude -  worrying  ,,, the Holy Qur'an = the Almighty Allah's saying always mentions positive attitudes ,,, encouragement , hope ,,, however , because most  people do not read ,,, if they read - they do not have comprehension ,,, this is our problem ,,faith is just a word in most people's dictionaries ,,, they say they have faith ,,BUT once they have a slight annoyance not even a problem , they turn upside down ,, they lose control of themselves ,, some even have break down ,,,education plays a great role in this field ,,, so if people are educated , they would not be affected much by those around them in this point ,,,what I mean is ,,,seeing your own family have this attitude should not affect you ,,, but if you are uneducated ,,, have no faith = certainly you will have the same attitude of those around you ,,,however , if you are educated , have faith and comprehension ,,,you will have a completely different vision towards any negative incident   ,,, worrying will not help a  person to take the right decision to solve the problem ,,,on the contrary , it will make him/her exaggerate in their melancholic situation thus things will be worse ,,,, 
If a person is educated , has faith and a positive attitude then the whole situation will be less problematic ,,, the mind will be clearer and the solution will be clear thus this person will tackle such problems with  more optimistic not pessimistic ,,, this way problems can be solved ,,, it might take time ,,,but at least you keep your energy ,,and your health ...
Having faith ,,, being educated ,,,and having patience are important in solving all sorts of problems ,, least of all WORRYING ...
Try to think of those who live in  miseries ,,, those who have no money to pay for their medicine ,,,those who have no shelter ,,,those who live in poverty ,,, who have fatal diseases ,,,those who are tortured every day ,, those who live in disasters ... in this world there are miseries and sadness that no one can realize unless they are suffering in the same situations ,,,
Remember that WORRYING is bad and it will never do you good ,,,, so DELETE this passive,, negative ,,, irritating feeling from your memory ,,,
Have FAITH , HOPE ,PATIENCE ,,,educate yourself and be OPTIMISTIC because with passive feelings you only HURT yourself ,,,,
