Plus I don’t deny that some change brought the good and greatness in our communities and they did really serve well, which I am proud of. But then if we are ought to be fair then we should improve and continue with taking the goodness of change and try to resolve the badness in it too. We sadly there are two big groups of people, one who observes the GOOD only and other observes the BAD only, and we have minors who looks into both. <BR/>I am with not doubt the person who looks into both but will give extra attention the BAD to try to change it and will still look into the GOOD just to maintain it.Solafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844024595298741415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-57130231262129526982007-07-12T21:47:00.000+04:002007-07-12T21:47:00.000+04:00Elagante,Yes i am (mota7afitha or reserved) when i...Elagante,<BR/><BR/>Yes i am (mota7afitha or reserved) when it comes to my identity as Omani and to the Omani socity/community.<BR/><BR/>Agree that there are bads and good every where and not only in Oman, and that other places are far worse than what we have and some other places are better than us in some ways.<BR/>I am not criticizing the CHANGE but I am criticizing the way that change was taken and followed in our communities and by our people.<BR/>Wanting to belong in our communities is not new and it did not come with Globalisation or modernization, this issue has been there for hundred of years ago, even before the formation of the Omani Empire. But you can say that it had been evolved from worse to bad to moderate in our current time. Just cause people are educated and acknowledged plus they are trying to break the ice of differences between and within them. <BR/>When I said the word “Pathetic” it referred more to my own personal view to the whole situation, because when I left as I said the whole world in Oman was different, and one of the reasons that will always pull me back to visit my home land not just because of my family but because I used to miss the Omani life style and the atmosphere and the whole agenda of Oman and the environment. I missed seeing girls with the typical thing in public; I used to miss the public space and the shops, the aroma…..etc. I always see my peace of mind when I am back to my homeland; at least I am away from the typical English environment and things that are common in here. At least back home I can see girls covered and with nice sewed cloths and the smell of bokhor, men in dishdasha...etc <BR/>I don’t know if you will understand what I mean but it’s the variation of how I see it and how you see it to be…Solafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844024595298741415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-85286988643641404742007-07-12T21:33:00.000+04:002007-07-12T21:33:00.000+04:00Sleepless,As I referred before, that when you are ...Sleepless,<BR/><BR/>As I referred before, that when you are living in that society you tend to witness less of changes that occurs or takes place around you. But when you go away for some time and then return you will notice nearly every thing, just because when you left you had that image in your mind and when you realise that the image is not the same then you tend to search for the reasons of WHY and WHAT changed!<BR/><BR/>LOL, you are not alone in getting old. ;)Solafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844024595298741415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-4909956355106551902007-07-10T23:25:00.000+04:002007-07-10T23:25:00.000+04:00Welcome Solafa :) It's true that being in a place...Welcome Solafa :) <BR/>It's true that being in a place for too long will somehow kill our ability to notice the changes around us. It's nice to have you around and to read your views about what's going around. <BR/><BR/>However, I do agree with elagante. We can't just focus on the downsides of being open on the world. Let's highlight the good side of it too :)sensationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034160628013143188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-33619012652021786772007-07-05T13:26:00.000+04:002007-07-05T13:26:00.000+04:00Very interesting Solafa, you don’t sound old fashi...Very interesting Solafa, you don’t sound old fashioned at all but it seems like you’re so (mota7afe’6a) in some ways. There are rights and wrongs everywhere and Oman has the least of the wrongs I can tell by going around and not living in Oman my self.<BR/>Yes it’s shameful when you see a girl running after a guy but also when a guy is running after a girl. To me it’s not about which sex is starting the action rather than what is the right or wrong thing to do…<BR/> Ppl who are trying to get into “cool gangs” are the ones who wants to belong don’t you think. You can have your own “cool gang” and still discuss life religion and studies. There is no harm in places or habits as long as you know your limits. <BR/>Oman “ Muscat” has an amazing, quite and relaxing life style. It’s not pathetic at all you just have to look for the right things to do which will bring you joy and the right ppl to hang out with who you can share your thoughts with… SO SIMPLE…Elagantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830678033974816565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-39540059032974632212007-07-05T00:48:00.000+04:002007-07-05T00:48:00.000+04:00You know, for the life of me, I have lived in Musc...You know, for the life of me, I have lived in Muscat for most of my life and it had never occurred to me that these changes had ever happened to the Omani society over the years.<BR/><BR/>I guess times have really changed around us. Probably got to do with us being old, too - speaking for myself, of course ;PSleepless In Muscathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962503739046426605noreply@blogger.com
