Yaa Saa’iha (Hello Tourist)

We are all tourists in life. Even if we don’t go anywhere,
life comes to us. We learn as we go. Hopefully, we grow.

Mass Observation -War & Terror (an interesting blog)

The finest clothing made is a person’s skin, but, of
course, society demands something more than this.

Quotation from Mark Twain

If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture,
let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies. It would
be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.

Quotation from Albert Einstein

    it’s funny reading Albert Einstein’s quote because society is still very much fixated on the exterior image.

    p.s i just wanted to say thank you for all your comments on my blog over the last year. You were one of the very first people to ever come to my blog and actually leave a comment…and yes i do have a slight addiction to victoria beckham..don’t know what it is but girl won’t leave me alone lol :)

    Very nice - and funny too (although a wise insight). When I lived in Sudan, many of the women were veiled and I have to say that after a while I could identify faces, flirtiness and feelings pretty much from the eyes and forehead. Body language too. (Or at least I imagined I was doing all that :)

    Great quotes.

    All great quotes. But the Albert Einstein one is my favorite of his. It makes me smile every time i read it. That sign in the link “freedom of expression is western terrorism” is just sad. To see they have zero comprehension of what real freedom is. To think that their culture started out as free thinking and experimental and had it all over us in technology and learning only to come to this. Very sad.

    I truly enjoy being a life tourist. Makes life more interesting, better than taking the road most traveled.

    I’m also terrible at remembering faces :lol:
