Pessimism..

last Saturday i were at Diwan Heliopolis  in the upstairs cafe and i over heard the following conversation between A girl in her 20's sitting with 3 guys in their early 20s

they were discussing some business or group of a sort..
I'm a couple of meters away from them so it is -as always- easy to eavesdrop. Apparently the girl represents some company that recruits salespeople who work from home and get paid only on commission based on performance by end of year, etc..
Something that sounds too fishy and slightly too good to be true..
For some reason, she is only addressing one of the guys.
The other two seem like they are the guy's friends, but also like they are already in the girl's team somehow.

The guy -as all guys do- is trying to act 'fetek'. Like he is asking all the "right" questions, and what if this, and what if that, and what guarantees, etc. But it also seems he's game..

So in the middle of it all, I hear a sentence that was going to make me laugh out loud.

Girl: so, f aswa2 el zoroof, you will have 10 contacts.
Guy: tayeb, howa fee aswa2 men aswa2 el zoroof?
Girl: Enta motasha2em bardo?


I thought they called it aswa2 el zoroof for a reason..

Paper Dreams escaping Surreality

stolen thoughts

"The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness. In misery we seem aware of our own existence, even though it may be in the form of a monstrous egotism: this pain of mine is individual, this nerve that winces belong to me and to no other. But happiness annihilates us: we lose our identity."

~ Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

a quote from today

We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” — Dr. Seuss

a thought from today

the following question came a cross my mind today:
Am i living my life out of fear or out of love?

in my own prospective When we make decisions based on love, we live a life of purpose and life flows in a harmonious manner, bringing many rewards.
Making decisions based on fear brings resistance to the flow of life, ultimately bringing disharmony and unhappiness yet its some how safer, with no risks.!!
