Next ?


When i used to be at school like few years ago there used to be a radio show called "Know Thy Self" with Dr.Sahar El Mogy and i still recall this episode so much. She was talking about reaching the success point that you feel you got nothing more to give. Like for instance if your ultimate dream was to be a successful writer and you actually become one of the most successful writers ,the question that will come to your mind always is what's next and she said sometimes it brings many people down achieving their wildest dream cause afterwards they feel they got nothing more to give and nothing more to work for.

When i used to go to school i used to work so hard to go to college .. at college i used to work so hard to graduate .. after graduation i worked so hard to get a good job .. but now the question that's stuck in my head right now at this moment really is "What's next ?" is this what i really want or maybe i can dream for something more. What's the real aim for me being here on earth .. i'm not seeking answers now but as i always say its good to know the question even if we don't know the answers.

الحمد لله

Keep walking


Let's go back in time back back to the most back time slot you can imagine. Let's go back to the day the first human landed on this planet and discovered himself in this wide area of nowhere. The first thing he did was walking. The first thing his children did was just walking , back then all they could do was just walk and discover their surrounding area. So they kept walking and walking till they found water and they were like this is it this is the end of the earth and there is no where else to go. Few hundred years later wanting to unveil the unknown someone or somebody somehow noticed that he can throw some woods on the sea and can sail to the unknown, I wonder how it felt for the first person to ride the waves and sail into the sea felt .. but what am sure of what that person was doing is actually walking, but beyond the boundaries.Beyond the limits we could imagine back then.

Few hundred years later a crazy guy thinks that the earth is a round planet and decides to sail around the world, trying to prove his -crazy- thoughts so he set a ship and lands on a land which later on becomes the world's number one economy, the guy dies without even knowing that he discovered a new land.But all what he was doing was just walking.Trying to go beyond the boundaries trying to prove there's something more for this land we've landed upon.

Few thousand years later a crazy organization decides to send a space ship to space it wants instead of walking horizontally to unveil the vertical land and a man lands on the moon and raises the American flag - the land that was discovered - then we discover that there are 9 planets revolving around the sun and that we're not alone and we're not just a planet there are billions like us.

And the thought that comes to my mind is Us through all these years we're just walking. It seems that the map will never be totally revealed because if you reveal the whole map the game will be over .. i wonder what few thousand years from now will be like what will the human race discover more than what they discovered more galaxies stars planets and maybe lives on other planets.

But the only common action throughout all these years for human beings that made all the difference ...... is that they just kept walking.

The Far Space (2)


So it turned out that someone is asking the same questions of Ellie from the movie Contact whether it's only us or there's someone else.I discovered that Ellie is an inspired character from this speech and there's a real person spending her life sensing signals and waiting for the far space message.

I always ask myself this question are we alone and if not that would be really an awful waste of space.We all tend to live and fight kill and suffer on this planet while if all humans understood for one moment that we're so small to waste our lives fighting and suffering, things would be totally different.But the question what's really out there .. is it just us or maybe our narrow space of mind can't even imagine what's out there. 
Maybe as small as we're in this universe is as small as our brain capabilities for finding the answers.
