My perspective

Neither I nor others know how the future can be. Often we try to fly to a land that only exists in our fantasies. This land doesn't exist in the mean time and it is only built by our hopes and wishes. A different world where we live in without fighting, conflicts, white and black, Christians , Buddhists and Muslims etc.. A place where people don't know what the word War means.

"Easy, isn't it?" I ask myself, but it is nearly impossible. Forgive me if I may be pessimistic or extreme, but the truth is that.

Money, Oil and technology help us always to improve our lives but unfortunately they are also reasons for war and hatred. Strong nations don't bother themselves on the poor ones and day after day the gap becomes bigger and bigger between them.

Besides we find these extreme people who kills the innocent just because they think themselves that they are God's only chosen people. But we are a big reason for what is going in the world and inside of us lives a huge monster that is called Ego. This monster is forcing us to hate and to kill just to be kings or small gods.



The world is ours and let us be different roses in this big earth, every flower has its special color and special scent but all gathered makes a very beautiful and heavenly garden. Let us work for the improvement of nations, to build a world without war and hatred and full of love and good wills. A place where our children play without being injured, eat and drink without being poisoned, breathe without being infected, express without being imprisoned and love without being wrongly accused or misunderstood.

It is not easy , but when you find a will, you find million ways.

I wrote it originally in Norwegian as a school assignment


Kongen

Kristian is studying in Oslo. I met him a week after I arrived in Stavanger. His friendship is a gift from Norway. I look for his comments for they are so important to me. I appreciate his efforts in helping me improve my language skills and finding a job.
He is studying French but to me he graduated from the university of life as a psychologist :)

Norway's National Day

This is my second year in Norway and I can't imagine how nice this day is. Since the early morning One can hear the school music bands playing the enthusiastic music and telling you in an indirect way:" Wake up, It is a great day to experience".
Norwegians have the right to be proud, because they have a beautiful country with the highest standards of Living in the world.
Thank you Norway for giving me the honor to live here.
God bless this country
