New way of life

salam..
we ve been waiting for your vey impressive writings.. and here you ve shown with these lines, I think.... I think that.... or wait, I have to read it again

hey, salam
i know you better when been optimistic, i still don't know why you insist on those dark and sambre aspects of life,

i remember a saying:

if you're having a bad day, don't worry, for it will cange

if you're having a good day, don't worry, for it will cange

and that is thelittle amel2 i know, just keep your head up with a wide smile, you know that i can see your smile...

this is very interesting to me, at first i thought about it, and now after a few days thinking about the meaning. i will share for you what i gather form the writing...in doing so i will tell you a story of the last day for myself.

it took place on friday, December 11.

i wake up at 4:00am, an look at the clock, and think to myself why am i doing this. why? who is it for? it is to early i think... (laughing)

i get outside and must shovel the snow form my car so that i can leave my home, for work...it is now 4:15am and still dark as night, the wind rips right through me, and again i think why am i outside, i should still be asleep. but i continue to shovel the snow in silence, because it is cold and it is early to think with myself...again laughing

at 4:20 am i get in my car and drive down the road and, realize that there are no other houses with the light on, and i think if they only knew that i was outside starting work this early would they join me?

i must go and pick up another who is going to work with me this day, i feel bad because i told her only last night that she would have to be awake and ready to leave her house at 5:00am so that we can be on time to work...i get there just as the clock gets to 4:59am, and i call her and tell her that i am here, she comes out and joins me in the warm car.

we talk for a little bit, and i tell she should sleep for a little while because it will talk us an hour to drive to where we are working, and so she does so, and again i think to myself, why? why put forth this effort? what will this gain, money that brings but happiness for a short time? and again i think that it is to early, but still there is not a person on the roads, so i am grateful fro this. and i tell my self "the early bird gets the worm" as if that will get me some comfort.

when i call my boss, it was 5:36am, an i asked him where we were to meet him? he was still sleeping, i could tell form his voice. but he said with lots of confusion the place to meet him, and so went there and waited. i looked over at my friend, more of a sister to me than anyone else i know. and think that i am lucky to know someone like her.

when we get to the work sight it is still pitch black at 6:30am, and so we get out of the car and start unloading the truck into the empty lot of land before us. by 10:00am there needs to be a structure there, so that people can listen to a speech of some sort. i am the only one there who is awake with any energy, so i take the lead in telling everyone what to do. and we start building. it is dark and only -8.33 Celsius out, and the wind made it feel like less, we worked until light at 8:30am, and by that time we were almost done. we had built in only 2 hours a structure that was 9.14 X 9.14 meters, and stood 2.44 meters high, with a roof and heat and lighting. i could tell that everyone was very tired, but there was still much to do that day....

but the meaning is that is portrayed here is that you will work hard often and sometimes that will pay off more than you will ever know...your work will be rewarded, this is the promise of life. however so too will death take what you have worked for away, this is the promise of death....so the question is why work hard in life if it is all going to be taken away? the answer to that is because, that is what gives your life meaning...and at the end of it all you can look back and be proud of yourself...knowing that you can die in peace because you have worked hard during life, so this short sleep will be a good rest for you. this is what i think.

now it is you who think that i am mad, or just plain silly. i find that when i work hard through out the week and then comes the weekend and i can not get up because my muscles ache, and my bones are weak, this is when i am most happy. this is because i know that i am strong, in spirit, mind, and body. the fact that i am weak and tired is what allows me to know that i have worked hard, and because i worked hard i am happy. it is strange to think this way i am sure. but think about it, when you have a task that seems imposable and you accomplish it. do you not feel satisfaction? life is quite the same i would think, it is the largest task we know of. and so in the end you should be quite satisfied, the work and hardships allow you to know that you did well, and so be happy. the only sadness of death is that the person is not longer with us in body, however their spirit lives on, and watches over us.

you make me smile to read what you have said. i agree it is like the seas, changing, sometimes calm and sometimes storms. i know that i feel the strength drained from me, but i know that there are many people counting on me for help, so i can not allow myself to let them down, that would make me greatly sad. if i give to someone my word than that is as good s gold, i must be for what is the worth of a man but his word, and he shows his word through his work. it is a cycle.

Salam, little sister, dear Allen:

I was really overwhelmed reading to this monotonous conversation that made me know each of you more and more, I found it pretty nice reading the ideas that makes of you what you really are with the pure and simple souls you have.

Glad to know that you ‘amel2’ have regained the hope that should help you facing what is to come, and I urge you to continue what you are doing since it bring satisfaction to both of you and your entourage.
Allen, you made me think over about a lot of staff I’ve been doing for so long in my life without considering a moment neither of revision nor of checking what is worth doing from what is not. Indeed, I almost forgot that bringing help to the others is the essence of every work I used to do. I started missing the taste of real recompense I gained after pouring all I have of force and strength, and returning home with a used body; its only then that you feel what you meant by saying: “...your work will be rewarded, this is the promise of life.”

I should keep it in mind, since you’ve shown that you know not little about life, your sons will be proud of you as long as you bring home food melted with parts of your beliefs.

Salam be upon you all,

By the way, tell me about those words in arabic

the words in arabic it tells us that

"death is not an event in life, we do not live to experience death."

i am glad that i have the wisdom to make a wise man think. i may not know a whole lot, however what i do know i know very well. thank you for your words, it truly means a lot to me.

peace be with you all
