Day 39: why you think you’ve learned more from the good or the bad

Lessons are learned better when you’ve experienced the backlash and pain which result from your stupidity.

Day 38: thoughts on your generation

I feel like we had the best childhoods. We’ve experienced more technological shift than other generations. I also feel like we’re more diverse than other generations. We’re a mix of old-school and new age thought.

Day 37: who are you

I don’t know myself. It’s confusing trying to pin down who you are as a person. People tell me they don’t get me sometimes. I don’t blame them.

I guess I’m someone who makes mistakes. A lot of them. But I hope they don’t define me. And I hope I learn from them, and change for the better.

Day 36: what do you think about your friends

I have two groups of friends.

Group one are my friends from my Masjid, and I love these guys to death. Simply put, they guide me. They’ve never done me any wrong, and they’re always good to me. They give me naseeha when I need it, and they push me to be a better Muslim. The perfect companions.

Group two are my non-Muslim friends. I’ve known these guys since high school. We’ve kept in touch, and still hang out even after all these years. But the reason I still see them is because of how respectful they are. They don’t do anything that violates Islam when I’m with them. One of them even reminds me when it’s time to pray. I make du’a that they’re guided inshaAllah.

Alhamdulillah I’ve just been really blessed. I’ve been able to get rid of the bad influences in my life, and only have people who are beneficial for me.

A Village

Afghanistan has been called the land of 30,000 villages. What is remarkable is that every one of them is unique. The dramatic variations in power, ethnic, tribal, religious, and family dynamics from one village to the next are what make the country both endlessly fascinating and vexing to foreigners attempting to intervene here. It is why no strategy, whether military or political, can be applied uniformly, with success, on a national scale: why the effectiveness of foreign intervention — whether by militaries or civilian aid and development groups — can differ so markedly from one area to the next. Eleven years into the war, NATO’s best and brightest are still struggling to understand the myriad complex forces influencing stability and its collapse on the village level. Why do some communities embrace the Taliban, while other rise against them? Why do some welcome the government, while others eschew it? “A Village” explores several sides of one of these 30,000 self-contained worlds that together make up Afghanistan.

“But who am I, and what have I to surrender? I’m a mere shadow of a man; of all the ghosts haunting this town today, none is ghostlier than I. The only loves I’ve known were phantom loves, rare and vacillating as will-o’-the-wisps. The solid passions of the living were never mine.”

awkwardsituationist:

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well known fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

there’s still good in this world
