Will I consider it middle age?
Can I kick start my other half of this journey, as opposed to the very rough initial start?
Does any of this matter at all?
A very interesting discussion comes to mind, when I was 8 years old, of my mother and her friend. It was the Civil War, and we were all crammed in the shelter of the building, about a hundred people underground, with no electricity nor running water. I was trying to fall asleep to the sounds of people murmuring, and the news on the radio in the background. I fell asleep to a heated exchange couple of ideas between mother and her friend, though my mind then wasn't able to fathom their arguments, but the topic did stick nin my head for a while.
هل الإنسان مخير ام مسير؟
There is a follow up to this, but I will leave it for another time.
For now, I will dwell on how I'm both wise and mature at this stage, but still can be naive and shortsighted in lots of ways, especially concerning people. Yasmina made a little observation a while ago, followed by an interesting statement "Pople lie... People's nature..." I sure hope she grows up to be much smarter than I when it comes to relationships and people. They were never my forte!
I guess I will be introverting my way through my 5th decade on this planet, in this life.
Enough musing.
Happy birthday moi!
تولدت مبارك
