The reason life is beautiful?

Are we, as people, forgetting that life is so much more then money?

Hey MJAD hope this keeps giving you ideas for a honeymoon if you ever decide to marry...
And to those who are and are planning one remember...The world is beautiful!!!

Oops that sounds so like my friend MJAD...he likes labeling his links as 'Concerning whoever'. O well this topic does concern friends and well how reliant are we on them.
Well friends and the whole idea of friendship is well beautiful, and horrid all at the same time.
You must be wondering what I mean by that right?

For starters my friends mean the world to me. Think I rely more on them then my family. I know it shouldn't be like that but it is true. Just the sense that they understand me better well makes it that way.
So were is the bad I'm seeing in the world of friends?
Its in the fact that people who some times you think are your friends are back-stabbing psychopaths who need to be institutionalised.
Other time its watching your friends life slip through your hands...you could have stopped it but you did not.
And even other times circumstances and distance makes them walk away from you and the friendship you had...

So my question is...is there a point to having friends?
Do we really need them ?
OR do they really need us?

If family never leaves you, why do you feel closer to your friends and not to you family?
then again maybe I'm looking at this all wrong...

Welcome oh beautiful day...
Yes people its a bright and sunny day in this wonderful part of the world...Durban...
So me out of here to enjoy it!
MWAH

Hey before someone thinks they are actually mine let me be kind enough and inform you they are my nieces. My cousins beautiful daughters...the two youngest from the four girls.
Yah its a load of trouble she and her husband are heading into :)

So its like early in the evening to some or late in the evening to others. With me its that time when my thoughts run away... the sleep eludes me and those who surrender to it I envy.
What am I rambling on about? Well welcome to the life of a person who is sleep deprived not because they are over worked but by the fact that the mind does not allow the body to rest.
Its a sad state of affairs but now I have this - the wonderful world of blogging - which some how is supposed to let you see into my mind but like who would ever truly reveal themselves to the world?
In this quiet period before the awakening of those in deep slumber for sehri, I type away. oblivious to the fact that my body needs sleep, my brain is pushing the boundaries of my mere existence and my soul cries within...SSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Okay enough shit talking time for some serious reflection...o wait that's the reason I can't sleep. Enough, Enough laters my people...

The Beautiful Dessert as we should see it.....
And God gave us more beauty and we man keep destroying!!!!!

The article below suggests the extent to which non-muslims view those of the Islamic faith. What is Jack Straw truely trying to accomplish?

Is his suggestions that we muslim women can be better at what we do by removing our veils and headgears?Does he honestly understand the reasons we wear it and does he think we are being hindered by it?

No Jack, that is not the case! We are in fact the liberated women of the world. We wear the veil and the scarf because it gives us the freedom to be who we are and what we want to be. It opens the doors normally shut to us. We are not lokked at for our bodies, but for our mind. We therefore know we are achieving what no one else can for who we are not what you see.

It is our choice to whether we wish to wear it or not. It empowers us and no one, not even you Jack, can take that away from us.

A senior British cabinet minister said Muslim women who wore full veils made community relations "more difficult", sparking criticism today from Islamic groups.
Jack Straw, the former foreign secretary, now leader of the House of Commons, said a veil was "a visible statement of separation and difference" and that he felt much more comfortable dealing with people with their faces uncovered.
Writing in his local paper, Straw said he was concerned that "wearing the full veil was bound to make better, positive relations between the two communities more difficult".
"The Muslim community does not need lessons in dress from Jack Straw," said Nazreen Nawaz, of the radical Hizb ut-Tahrir organisation.
Straw said he had received a unanimously positive response to his request for Muslim women to take off their veils when they came to see him in Blackburn, the northern English town he represents in Parliament.

Concerns "misplaced"
"Most seem relieved I have asked," he said in his article for the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. Straw made it clear he defended the rights of Muslims to wear headscarves and that wearing a full veil "breaks no laws". He acknowledged that his concerns could be "misplaced".
"I thought a lot before raising this matter a year ago, and still more before writing this. But if not me, who?", he wrote. The Labour government of Tony Blair, the British prime minister, is striving to improve integration among Britain's ethnic and religious groups after suicide bomb attacks by four Islamists on London's transport network.

"Contact could overcome differences"
On Wednesday, David Cameron, the Conservative opposition leader, said many communities were growing up living "parallel lives" and that only contact could overcome differences. The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) accused both political parties of pandering to anti-Muslim elements.
"Both the Labour and the Conservative politicians are trying to compete with each other. One wonders whether they are trying to appeal to the right-wing media," a MAB spokesperson said, adding he believed Straw's comments about the veils were unwarranted.
Abdul Hamid Qureshi, chairperson of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, said Straw would be criticised "from all quarters".
"What is he really concerned about? This is not helpful, it has got the potential to cause anger," he told the Lancashire Telegraph. – Reuters

Hearken to this Reed forlorn,
Breathing, even since ‘twas torn
From its rushy bed, a strain
Of impassioned love and pain
“The secret of my song, though near,
None can see and none can hear.
Oh, for a friend to know the sign
And mingle all his soul with mine!
‘Tis the flame of Love that fired me,
‘Tis the wine of Love inspired me.
Woudst thou learn how lovers bleed,
Hearken, hearken to the Reed!”
--- Jalaluddin Rumi---

These blogs are supposed to be what you want when you want it, Right?
Well apparently I have neglected my darling page and therefore have incurred the wrath of a certain friend who believes that since I have him addicted to this insatiable blogging situation, I am seriously not living up to expectation.
Well sue me for having such an extraneous life and therefore no time to blog as much as my dearest friend.
My darling friend, you scare me when you believe that I some how have an easy carefree life. But what scares me even more is that you may not have much of a life...mwah but I still love you.
I will dutifully resume blogging as soon as I have appropriated myself according to the many situations I have on hand. But do not fear your woman of words will articulate herself soon.
