Yes, We Can

Hello,

Around me I hear voices of despair old and young:
"My neighbourhood, town, department, country are going from bad to worse. Allah Ghaleb! What can we do!"

Can't I, you, him and her do a little something to improve things around us (in us first may be)?

Hello,
Thank you for this topic!
Allah Ghaleb, this expression reminds me by my teacher in high school, she considers it as the illness of all Algerians!! She is right!
sth is missed here=Allah Ghaleb! He didn't succeed=Allah Ghaleb!! the prices are high=allah Ghaleb!! The doctor is not in hospital=Allah Ghaleb!!! Many many of these unaccepted justifications!! Like we're saying Allah did this to us, we've nothing to do!!!! But, when the conscience of a whole nation dies, you cannot rise it up!! "لا يغير الله ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم
Can we start over? Can we change ourselves? Can we really make a very littel dream from millions of poors' here comes true?!!!
Ohh, your question proposes many qts for me!!!
But, I see I cannot add anything by words!!!

'Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country'? J F K

I hear the same kind of complaints daily. But can I blame them? I do not think I should. People have variant prespectives of what are the real reasons for a country's decay. Some blame it on the smaller group (i.e. the government) Claiming that they have the power to turn things upside down over night. Last time I checked, none of them had the magical stick, nor had they the supernatural powers to do so. I tend to agree with what J F K once said, and I think that's the best resolution.

I recently read of a man, who used to work for a major oil company and who had an income of no less than 25 millions with our currency, he and two of his friends were found dead because of an failure attempt to illegally emigrate to Spain or France. If this news were right, that would change some equations that we set some time ago. This would mean that the main reason to leave the country is not always for the existence of unemployment in our country, but for other reasons that need to be examined and to be looked for.

Hello, first of all i want to thank you for bringing this problem to light.
Actually it is a drastic problem with causes that should be treated as soon as possible. As Algerian you must be confronted with the diabolic voices that whisper in our ears day and night to plant in our minds that we can do nothing against this bad situation: " be realistic man you are alone facing around 40 millions mentalities, so do not embrace the attitude of the bold hero who will change the situation in a blink of an eye. Why do you try to be clean? while the whole country throws garbage everywhere. Why do you try to be succesful in your studies? while jobs are offered to those who have shoulders, and so on. So wether you become one of them or you will be the odd that should be removed. Like a story I have read once in a book:
There was a wizard who put a poisoned potion in a well, and when the people of that town drank from that well they became all mad except the king and the queen who had their own well. So the king was seen as a mad by his people because he was different from them, and they wanted to kill him. In order to survive, the king and his wife drank from the well to be like the rest of the people.
The wisdom from this story is that you do not have to be like that stupid king, you have to find more adequate solutions. Start by yourself and do not care for the rest because be sure it will come the day when you will be rewarded. If not by people by God.
yes we can with the will of GOD .

Hello,

"Start by yourself" suggests Bilinda. I stand by your suggestion. At least we have a starting point. One that is possible. It is up to us then. Everyone can look at the mirror and say: "I can be good and have a positive effect on my immediate environment; Yes, I CAN!"

"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do." Ponder about it...

"I will not refuse to do something that I can do." wrote Chinda.
