I consider myself a free spirit. The unusual interests me in practically everything. The following quotations express an important part of my worldview: Being myself includes taking risks with myself, taking risk on new behaviour, trying new ways of “being myself” so that I can see how it is I want to be - Hugh Prather Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women - Margaret MeadIn societies where men are truly confident of their worth, women are not merely tolerated but valued - Aung San Suu Kyi To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart - George Bernard Shaw Our humanity rests upon a series of learned behaviors, woven together into patterns that are infinitely fragile and never directly inherited - Margaret Mead You can reach me at justjibril@yahoo.com - BLOG.

When the ‘good ones’ leave you with not even a farewell chance

When people talk about closure in relation to the death of a loved one, I often wonder what clear signs are there to show to the bereaved that they have finally found closure. Does finding closure mean that the pain of losing that person no longer exists...

Bombs as wages of complacency
