Today I’ll be brief in my words I usually start writing my articles during the week and conclude review and put final touches Early on Sunday so that they are published over the net the following day, Monday. Well today Sunday 08th of June 2014 is different! For Egypt today is a memorial day, for the first time in recent history the ruling Egyptian president, gives up ruling powers to a successor president!
Today and finally I’m free from the obligation I had to respect which was simply being neutral between two candidates and hide my intentions and inner feelings as much as possible. I’m not sure if I did succeed but I had to advise people direct them to the proper free decision without pointing to any directions. Your decision can never be free if I tell you this is the right decision, pointing to a decision!
This article will be available on May 26th. The first day of presidential election most likely will read it afar you had voted or boycotted presidential elections but there would be a second chance the following day the very LAST DAY!
In the near past I wrote articles about today's young revolutionary in Egypt the 25th January 2011 ones or all other new generations who reject all and any solution, I was furious from the disrespect of some of them to the elderly who try to discuss with them trying to make them reason to the sound of wisdom; I was wrong and emotional aggressive more than discussing the issue!
I spoke and wrote more than an article about arts, mainly motivated by a decision or movie I saw, today's motivation is a YOUTUBE clip of Amr Adib furiously attacking a movie that is still under evaluation and wether to be allowed or not as per honorable PM Eng. Mehleb instructions! This is the second time I talk about this issue but before I start talking I need to make the following points crystal clear:- 1. I'm not defending / attacking this movie or a movie 2. Nor am I Discussing the point of view of a producer, director or the crew cast of a movie! 3. I have not seen that movie, Amr Adib was attacking, and never heard of Safinaz or Sofinor -whatever her name is- and till that moment never seen her before! However, I heard that the movie taken from a movie that I did see!
After eight times power off and consequently no net I try to write down this article praying God to end it up before the 9th. Cut of POWER, my Laptop requested to charge its batteries before I go again on them but how can I if the power is off!!! My main point today is the presidential elections hoping and praying to God they do end up in peace with the best choice of people, and whoever is chosen that with the people he can fulfill people's expectations to reach the safe ne brighter future and get out of this deep hole ousted Mosry tried to drag Egypt in it!
First let me apologize about last week article I was not able to write it due to a mixture of health, Internet and other problems I faced however all that is thank God history now.In fact I had a lot to say and still need to talk to you all Egyptians and my article today would be of 3 main points as follows:
One more week closer to the elections hopping for a better future, however a quick look to world’s news I do see same old story same problems same people volunteer to solve people and countries’ problems! Is it real solidarity or just political propaganda when people remain un-employed stay hungry poor while the rich becomes richer!
Starting with myself for serious work I would like to apologize for being unable to participate in last week's Joices with the decision of ex-marshal Abd El Fatah El Sisi to resign his post in the army and fulfill people's call to compete for the elections of presidency! In this issue I would like to point out the huge difference between someone working for living and meet the ends of the month and someone who loves his job and dedicates his whole life for the job he always loved for over 45 years was proud the wear the Army Suit like Marshal Sisi! His Decision to quit the army answering people's call was a huge sacrifice we should never forget!
I’m not an economist but I had some basic training upon my studies in economy and I’ll try to explain how things work in normal life. Gold reserve one calls national gold reserves, which stand usually in the area of responsibility of a central bank or a Treasury. The purpose of national gold reserves existed in former times mostly in the covering of currencies (gold standard). Today gold is predominantly kept as national reserve for crisis periods. The state can deny e.g. unexpected extra charges by sales of the gold, and secure itself thereby thus against disasters. In last week article I spoke of the expected bankruptcy of Egypt announced by the resigned managing director of Egypt’s central bank M. Farouk Okda who said it clearly he could not stay in position to the moment he would have to announce this bankruptcy! Really what is going on?
Old styles guys – My grand father – used to wear some over the shoulder belts to keep his pants up; I replaced these old styles belts with around the west belts but upon my stay in an Island where his owners were Black Africans up ducted by European trader to be used as SLAVES, just got their independence from the British Empire!
I pointed out few weeks back how much I love arts all kinds of art from singing and dancing to sculptures and painting including acting and theatre. In fact arts is the fourth dimension in our life that inspires us with all great invention; first time I saw or heard of a telephone conversation were each side could see the other side and directly talk to the screen was in a science fiction movie with aliens in start wars, this is now widely spread over the internet new communication facilities known as Skype and new mobiles now offer this facility!
I usually dedicate my weekly articles to discuss or express my views in pure Egyptian problems, today I write a view on a world crisis that might affect Egypt in the near or far future, but at the moment might look as a non Egyptian crisis but involves powers that will effect Egypt; but first let me have a brief review on October 1962 worldwide events!
I was planning to talk about arts in our life but as events develop and we had a big tragedy this week I need to express my regrets and condolences for the people that died either out of negligence or miscalculations or unexpected circumstances victims or plotters or just humans that lost their lives so rest in peace.
Some new online friend sent me a question wondering Is someone living in Europe cares to come back or visit Egypt? The question took me back to year 1988, November when I left Egypt with the intention to stay away of Egypt, it was not my 1st ever trip abroad I had previously visited Greece, and France in fact I had several trips in and out of France, my late father –R.I.P.- when he advised me to go to France but helped me buying for me the ticket his intention was to stay there for good, I rejected the idea and to convince me he promised to join me there as soon as he settles some other matters like his finances and house and the part of the house he inherited from his late father –R.I.P.- and talks and promises he never intended to keep! And that is why I kept coming back until ….
I was surprised few days ago to discover some new facts about the cruel world; the cruel world our accentors took us to it out of ignorance or with malicious intentions not my point but the cruelty itself of killing foxes for their expensive fur or the pleasure of hunting! Lots of people had to stand up to stop this endless massacre of Foxes. Some happened in Spain recently when human organizations banned the Bull fights Spain always built their tourist attraction on this cruel merciless fight.
I’ll start today’s article with a sincere congratulation to our new Marshal Abd El-fatah El-sisi in spite I had long time ago and still a complicated complex from this title in the Egyptian Army we had sad memories with it starting with the first ever Marshal and vice president Ex. President R.I.P Nasser appointed! We ended up with a bitter defeat loosing Sinai, and suicide - or assassination who knows!!
I always loved arts in all its aspects including:- 1. Music 2. Singing 3. Dancing 4. Painting 5. Movies 6. Theatres 7. Ballet Not too sure if I forgot any or may be I was never interested with may be because I never got the chance to know any thing about it. But for sure when I was young I was fascinated with the Number 1 then dancing team the so called –Ferket Reda- or Reda’s Team after its creators The Reda brothers! In my youth way before TV was introduced I would follow soaps over the Radio especially upon Ramadan with the 1000 nights and night staring Zouzou Nabil as Shehrazad. Then as TV was introduced in our life I start watching theatre, love the Rihani theatre after it’s creator Naguib El Rihani, would watch as well American soaps like Peyton Place or Batman and Spider Man, John Stead then I discovered the endless would of MOVIES that become my number 1 choice till today! As it opens discuses and concludes a subject from the point of view of its director or writer or producer!
Last week I asked you Egyptians to vote for me TODAY I owe you all a BIG THANK YOU for voting for me! You 98% did it and saved Egypt! Today Sunday 19th January 2014 is Epiphany Day in the Coptic Orthodox Church so Best wishes to ALL Egyptians and may Gods protection prevail! Psalm 91 (Read every day for protection) Whoever goes to the Lord for safety whoever remains under the protection of Almighty can say to him, “You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust”.
Voting time I should not be here but somewhere voting however due to a lot of reasons I could not be there I feel embarrassed for that like a solder running away from the battel this is why I ask you Egyptians all true Egyptians to VOTE FOR ME! I’m not asking you to say YES or NO I trust your instincts and that you will choose what is the best for this country we all love and God Blessed Egypt! I know voting can not be passed to any person is a very personal thing but what I mean with VOTE FOR ME is to be out there voting, if you do not have a strong excuse prevents you from voting if you feel lazy or it is useless to vote or whatever other reason then I want you all to VOTE FOR ME meaning get up and go out there VOTE for the best of this country that suffered so long been subject of so many conspiracies and still standing tall fighting back terrorist!
New day has come and my very first 2014 article is due, I was intending like last week keep it short and brief to wish you all a Merry Christmas on January 7th as per the Coptic Callender that took in consideration all bi-sectile years dropped or over seen in the Gregorian Callender. So once again to all Copts of the Word Merry Christmas.

Selfishness means loving the self badly which is common in many communities. Selfishness 'Giving oneself' means love, because the one gives himself to others.
