Me & Them

KSA ..
In its hottest weather ever ..
And me walking under the sun and the humidity ..

I looked around to discover that I am the only Arabian guy walking .. the rest are in their air-conditioned cars and jeeps. I took a surfing look, I found company with some Indians and Pakistanis men, cleaning the roads, building some new constructions, or just passing by. Me and the working people, the Asian workers and laborers were only on the streets. I felt an awkward sensation when I realized that. Because even this Asian fellow is definitely wondering about that young punk who thinks himself on Tahiti beaches, wearing his mini pants and tight t-shirt!!

It was a strange moment!

Walking through life is often similar to the experience you're sharing in this post. We often feel like we're different from all the people we're seeing in our life journey... And that's true.
We're not only different... We're UNIQUE. And that's the beauty of life.
Sure, being unique doesn't mean being obliged to live alone. Being different makes it more interesting to interact with others, try to find in them similar traits or characteristics, or even different things that can fill some void in us.
Life is never dull.
Life is an adventure.
Let's take the ride.
Let's enjoy it.
Let's be surprised and amazed every day..

Cheers my Arabian Friend walking in the exotic streets of Saudi Arabia...
Enjoy your WALK ;-)

Your words are like the hand of a small innocent boy opening the cage's door to free the trapped birds ... So many initiatives to liberate the soul captured within .. so many invitations to change or let us say 'alter' one's concepts about many wrongly-assumed assumptions.

Thank you Friend...
