I had a good friend called Refaat Ayoub who died last week. He worked as employee at local unit in Ashmant, Naser Center, Beni Suef. He was loved by all for his good attributes and honesty. He rarely got a day off, and always worked for the good of the people even if they didn’t care that much for their own interests. He was dreaming for better future of Egypt. I was shocked to hear about his death since he didn’t suffer from severe illness before. However, the story of his death was more shocking to me. The man suffered for 4 years before he breath his last. He had a clot in the brain, but he was not accepted in any public hospital since all intensive care rooms were full. His family searched in 17 public hospitals for 4 hours begging them to accept the man but no empty place was to be found.

Qatari Foreign Minister offers the services of his country. He couldn’t find better than Prince Tamim as a mediator between the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt! It looks like the opening of the New Suez Canal made the terrorist group feel that it is in dire need to comply with the state? Now the terrorist group is ready to humble itself before the Egyptian people and President al-Sisi. However, the Qatari Foreign Minister called the Egyptian regime: regime of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. He insists to add certain words to each statement like his saying: Qatar always contacts all parties that have a national vision, which is a big lie as they only communicated with the Egyptian government when they demanded to restore their 1 billion US$ deposit back that they had offered to the regime of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Unfortunately I can not speak or write my world this to the general public in Egypt the child that can not read yet, but can listen and understand words, not to drop the child with special needs, or the man and woman that can listen and understand they can even write and read, but not many languages! I just wished to speak to Egyptians regardless of his position the people we meet every day in the streets and say hello to them without knowing them or knowing you they would just return your hello moreover, who is far away and can not hear your hello they see you waving and wave back to you, this every day person we meet, man or woman grown up or child regardless of who is rich or poor, philosopher or ignorant, inventor or just an accountant and by the way I wish in the near future with the unlimited science capabilities an electronic device to be invented not only to translate from any language to any language but to be able to read it in the language of your choice moreover to demonstrate it in any way for people with special needs!

I assure after the latest accident and the violent from the police against normal citizen that the police didn’t learn the lesson from 25th of January 2011. Regardless of how the police right now is under a lot of pressure because of what Muslims Brotherhood do against the police and bombs thy explode everyday everywhere.

There are several statements that most of the people in our community refuse without even understanding them. One of these statements is “Love Yourself”. In fact, we don’t understand the importance of loving oneself. Our community would rather accept that everybody hates himself instead of loving it since such love is considered selfishness.

Tomorrow, Egypt will open the new Suez Canal Project, which was funded by the Egyptians hoping for better future for their children and for Egypt. Thus, they were able to collect more than 60 billion Egyptian pounds (US$8.4 billion) in just one week to fund the project. The chairman of the Suez Canal Authority announced that the revenues from the Suez Canal would jump from 5 billion dollars to 12.5 billion dollars annually boosting the hard currency earnings for the Egyptian national income.

If you want to look like a hero, you may invent some fairy tales claiming they are very true. Marzouki, president of Tunisia, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, told the Huffington Postthat he suffered during his reign in July 2013 a coup that lasted for two months. This is such a wonderful imagination and great timing of one leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. He doesn’t realize that there was neither military coup in Egypt nor in Tunisia. Of course, the Qatari money that he has received should encourage him to invent more and more of these fairy tales.

My wife and I watched an Indian movie that impressed us with great values of love. It’s known that Indian movies have a special taste of joy mixed with sadness and sacrifice for the beloved, but this one really impressed us. We were first moved by the decent dances in the movie. They were dancing as part of a wedding celebration. The pride had to go with a young man to take her to the fiancé who works as officer in the Bakistani Army. In their way, her life was threatened and saved by the young man. They started to love one another, but they knew there is no hope for such love.

That is not my say it’s the subtitle of a new to come series or may be action movie on TV channel Max -MBC MX- the hidden hint as I guess is after 13 years -up to 2014- and two wars on terror terror is spreading worst than ever! Well let us recap between now and then to see if there is a real change or not; prior to this 9/11/2001 Europe was divided between two major coalitions the NATO that was created to face WARSO that included all Soviet Union countries in Europe, the name of the game then was USA and all Capitalistic Countries of Europe to Face the Social Wave trying to swallow Europe! To be more explicit keeping in mind new generations in Egypt lack education knowledge and history review I’ll say Capitalistic is the liberty to work win money and become richer and richer once you pay the taxes owed to the country that gave you this opportunity to become rich! On the other hand Social means to work and work for nothing as everything belongs to the country, they should take care of you theoretically but practically leaders take all resources for nothing and even more they would steel the rest, and that was the main reason for the huge collapse of the Soviet Union!

Over the course of time, I have come to realize that there are still many obstacles that are preventing the moving forward for Egypt. Terrorism is the obvious problem at the moment. It even seems overkill to mention bombs, explosions, murders, abductions etc...It happens just way too much. And it’s even to the point now where it’s not a shock anymore, just a sad reminder that we are living in an unsafe, unstable environment.

I am writing this article during the final preparations for opening the new Suez Canal, which is considered as the second pyramid of the modern Egypt. The first pyramid of the modern state was building the High Dam and the second is opening the new Suez canal, which is the second ecological surgery to subdue the nature by man. Both projects have been performed and supervised by the Egyptian armed forces. The first hero was Abdel Nasser, former president of Egypt, and the second hero is president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the current Egyptian president.

I did not write this topic during Al-Fitr feast since the Egyptian people were celebrating the feast. The title of this article is "Dates" that were exploited by some people to incite sectarian strife between the sons of one homeland. I think we live in a country that grants freedom of worship and allows Christians to raise their crosses on the churches and to hold their religious rites with the exception of some few places that have hateful intolerant spread by some ghosts that live among us and their goal is to destroy the national unity.

After several Egyptians have been killed in Warraq accident, Giza governor decided to grant families of the dead 20.000 LE for each and 5.000 LE for the injured. This is repeated very often in several accidents in which Egyptians are killed because of negligence. Let the Egyptian people die for several reasons, and the compensation is known: 20.000 LE. This compensation is paid by the masters in our country to the slaves, I mean the poor.

I understand that supporters of former President Nasser want to make a hero of the president. Yet, such attempt is totally rejected when it comes against Egyptian history. Last week, Egypt celebrated the 63rd anniversary of the July 23 revolution. This revolution started as a movement inside the Egyptian army, then a military coup, then a revolution by the Free Officers, not certain officers like Nasser or Mohamed Naguib. At this occasion I used to write about the mistakes of Nasser at this revolution and after that. Yet, I stopped doing so after the Muslim Brotherhood came in power as they used to wrong him. I even started to defend the man against their lies as I don’t accept such lies.

Last week with the end of the holly month of Ramadan there is officially a three (3) days feast celebration the month end, but unofficially celebrations extend for a week or more depending on the start official day best case scenario when the first day is an official day off ex-presidents and some national enterprises used to give an additional day off to replace the day off of the first day plus a day to replace the before feast stand by celebrations that makes 3+2 days = 5 day 2 days away from the full week off that were taken any way extending celebrations to a full week! Good opportunity for workers in summer time to have a week off away to the coast for feast and summer holidays; however this year no additional days were offered specially that on Thursday 23rd July was the memorial of the 23rd July revolution 1952; another official day off!

There are many things we wish we could change. Our body is not up to our standards, the clothes we wear is not in style anymore, we get upset and lose our patience too quickly. These are all examples of things we wish we could change about ourselves. When I think about how Egypt has changed over the years, I try to imagine why, and if it's possible to change back. People are not as nice as they used to be. You used to be able to have women walk by themselves at night, that has now changed. There used to be days where it was seen as ok if women smoked, and wore "fanillas" and clapped and made noise just as men did. Then, fundamentally, something changed. Something inside of us changed, for the worse I may add. Women and men alike began to fall on hard times. Work shortage, rising food prices, lack of resources. People began to lose who they were, and began to be easily stressed, easily annoyed, easily judgmental.

The ambassadors of America, UK, Germany and other countries are living in our country and see how we live. They know much about our problems and how we solve them. Yet, they deny many facts when they meet with their agents and receive their money. Then, they write fake reports about the situation in Egypt claiming it’s not safe over here and terrorism is everywhere.

Egyptians are eagerly watching the football matches between Al Zamalek and Al Ahly. Fans of the two big Egyptian teams are eagerly expecting their matches. These matches should be role models and good examples for tolerance, renounce violence and good morals. Therefore, fans of the big teams should start accepting the others and showing their tolerance in order to teach children about this tolerance.

After terrorist attacks in Egypt, we usually hear in media that blood of Muslims was mixed with blood of Christians who died in the attack. This may refers that we are proud to die together. I don’t really understand why people people like to die together when they can’t live together. Does this mean that we can’t find peace, tolerance and respect in our country and we seek it in another life! This is how we think, even if we don’t realize it. If we think that dying together is an achievement, we should rather find a way to live in peace. We should appreciate one another and accept our differences. This is the real achievement.

Tolerance and doing good may lead to prison. This is true if you live in Egypt. How can young people trust their country and belong to it any more after three Coptic youth were accused of proselytizing in Alexandria for distributing food on the Muslims after they wrote “God is love” on the food bags! The prosecutor who ordered the arrest of those Coptic youth have committed a great mistake and must be punished for his ignorance of Egyptian law. It’s so sad that the state is offended by some ignorant and fanatic people who punish young people for doing good and leave millions of thieves and murderers free.

The holly month of Ramadan the fasting month of Muslims has come to an end and feast is due celebrations includes all Egyptians regardless of their religions. The good thing beside the joys of feasts is that the endless cues of soaps and serials had come to an end and I’m not a fun of those serials I like to watch a movie 1 or two hours and done I have no patience to follow or keep track of a serial, I.m not going to interrupt something I started to watch for a serial that will start elsewhere! However, due the the huge amount of serials some of them popped up forcing me to watch them as I had no other option! I and I decided to hint about some of what I had noticed as general comments without names, majority of the stories are nothing more than thugs, drugs, police officers chasing criminals, or corrupted police officers, killing and more killing! Bottom line where is the morals from such stories? Just to attract the attention of people or a new way to teach more ways for corruptions?
