Peace on all,

It's always easier said than done, it's amazing what you can pick up from different people when they share what's in their mind.
People left Egypt and blaming the system, others blaming their parents.
And the funny thing is to read from somebody who was born outside of egypt and have been raised outside all his/her life.. and then has the guts to call those complaining that they need to check their love to Egypt.

The system in Egypt is just like many many others all over. I haven't seen it as clear as now, since I'm out.
It's amazing how Egypt looks like from outside. I lived in it for 25 years, and now after just three years I saw, heard things about egypt more than I ever had when I was in.

Is Egypt so bad that everybody wants to run away from it. Are we looking for more Freedem, more money perhaps, more education, or maybe extra prestige in live. If everybody honsetly sat down with himself to determine what he/she wants maybe we wouldn't see this problem rise up like this.

Me just like everyone else I had that feeling of " I can't take it anymore, enough is enough !". And when I got out, it's like "What was I thinking, what's next ?".

I wish from everyone reading these words to think about it, who is to blame for what we face in Egypt.
Let's do a quick brainstorming, we can find those options :

1) The most highest head : "The President", after all he got the power to change things around there.
2) The Head of government : after all he is the man in charge about what is going on.
3) The ministers : after all they are those who supposly representing us and discussing our problems and planning to solve it.
4) Our parents : after all they are who supported us through our lives since birth until we became self supporting.

Are we missing anybody, maybe I did.. miss myself, OURSELF.. we the one who lived and living their, who strived /striving to make a living, who sees, hear, and feel things around. In school, at work, in the street, at home.

Did we think that what WE ARE IN might be because what what WE ARE, and what WE ARE LOOKING FOR !!!

As God said and perefectly described : "I will not change your OUTSIDE, except and only after you have changed your INSIDE".

It's very clear to me now, that it all comes from the inside. Are we doing our side of the deal to excpect from him to do his.

The system in Egypt just like any other all over is a kind of power, kindom, "Mulk" in Arabic.
Every single one of those who have the power to give orders and their orders are followed.. they posses a peace of that "Mulk". and what God said about this "Mulk". "Mulk is by his hand and he gives it to whoever he likes and takes it away from whover he likes". Does this mean that what we're facing is by the well of god and it's "Kadaa and Kaddar", and that we should bow to it and say : we accept it as is.. since it's from him and by his well.
This is what they kept telling the people of Egypt all the time even when the Frensh came in, Napoleon declared himself as a Muslim loving person and that he is the true friend of the people and that he is here to save us, and not quite a few did beleive him.

As god mentioned, he won't and that's it, he won't change what we are facing, this include everthing from corruption in the way we're getting our people to be elected to the way we think, to the education system, medical political, ecenomic, social system all aspects of our lives, even the daily day to day matters.. our breakfast to our bedtime. he won't change it unless we change the way we do, the way we beleive in him, the way we deal with each other, the things we pray for, the things we want from him.

It's a simple equation, "Do what you have been told to do, I'll deliver to you what I promised you !"
Do your share, I'll do mine.
Keep your promise, I'll keep mine.
Come to me I'll run to you.
Beleive in me, I'll be on your side.

Now, what excaclty is our part. or better yet let's ask this simple question : Is God not powerful enough to just detroy all those who don't listen to his orders, can't he just force everybody to believe in him the way they suppose to.
If we have read some of his words, we can very easily pick out that he can, YES he can, of course he can, but why isn't he.. He wants you to go to him wellingly, The most powerful relation between two.. when one side have the choice to go or not, and the other side has the power to force him to come.. and yet he wants him to cam choicely, MAKE your choice.
God gave us this choice and then ask us everyone to make our own choice, I gave you live, sustenance, support, saved you.... who do you call for help !!.

Some readers may get the picture of what I said to be : Go pray and pray on those who oppose you, giving you hard time, corrapting the system.

But dear friends, no .. this is not what I mean from all this.

We want to have a peaceful country, fare counry, developed high tech country, well .. a nice live.

I was reading god's words and he said : " Some of you want this live , others want the other live".

It all depends on what you WANT, pic up one and then act upon it.

Another verse said : "Some of you asking only for this life, but others asked for the yearafter.. and tho we gave them what they asked for , and further more we gave them the best of this life too."

If you asked and worked for this life, and this life only .. you might get it ( all the other getting it !!) , but when you ask for the other life and work for it, you'll get it as promised and you'll get the most and the best from this life as well.
If you want to see changes to happen in our beloved egypt, well check yourself.. Are you who you should be ??. are you doing your share of the deal.
When you can laudly say : I'm fine, I'm ok, I done my part. then you have the right to ask for the change.

CHANGE yourself, GOD will CHANGE what's around you.

AS of me, like everyone by now might be asking.. What're you doing , or what have you done, or what are you planning to do.
It's always (as I said) easier said than done.. but here is what I'm planning to do.

I got my bachelor from EGYPT, I work as a Programmer her in the USA, living as nice as many many young people would dream to live.. but many times I'm like : Stop right there, check yourself.. is this what you're here for. Is it all about you, to get more money, to have an easeir life, to live in peace and the hell with everybody and everything else.

I'm still in my late 20th and I already saw a few white hairs in my Hair, I'm already passing that thin line between childhood and manhood.
So the next question is : What is next.
Well, Since I was in Egypt and I saw the education there , or should I say Lived the education there.. I can clearly say : "It needs some modification, changes, corretions", but who am I !, I don't have the power to give orders to fix it, that if I clearly knew what excatly was the problem, but from my point of view, or my side : What can I do as an regular individual to make a change, here is few steps :

1) I need to believe in the whole picture first, I need to beleive that there should be a good educational system in egypt, the teacheres should do their best in school and the students should do their best as well.
2) I must believe that without me sharing, it's not worse living.
3) I need to beleive that I have to step in, and not to wait for others to do their jobs, for now, It's important to know that I'm doing mine.
4) Make a plan on where do I fet in this picture
5) follow that plan beleiving that the results are not by my hands, but are promised to be delivered as long as I'm doing my best (the right way) to acheive this big picture.
6) Always keep my goal big and clear and stay focused and aimed to my goals at all time.


And to end my talking for tonight, here is my plan.

In shaa Allah, I'll go back there, step in, and be a teacher even if this is an elementary school.
I'll try my best to make my students love and throughly understand what they're learning.
In shaa Allah, I'll be the best dam teacher there is.

I will do my share, and always along the side ask god for assistance and guidance.

Yes GOD I'll change my self, and I'm asking you.. your part of the agreement.


Are you going to change yourself too ...

Any comments, question... are more than welcome.
Let's unite and think how can Egypt get better.
How everyone of us can step in and do his/her share in building our EGYPT.

please take this serious, as IT'S really serious.

God bless you all, and be with him always, you'll find him when you need him.

Salam Alycom,
Nadir Biltagi
