Malala Yousafzay


Malala Yousafzai

It was very disgusting and sad to know about the death of a fourteen year old Pakistani girl named Malala, who just wants to live and have the right to receive an education. She was killed with a shot in her head and in her neck. The only thing that she encountered was two bullets. She was the voice for many children who probably want to go to school and learn. Malala talked about children rights to education. She wants a chance to change the family’s future. She received one bullet because she challenged stupidity, and another one, for being a voice in the future. To whoever attempted to assassinate this girl, it is important to remember that body can be destroyed, but not dreams and hope. How in the world is it that a person who kills one little girl can be called a faithful human being? I am wondering why some cultures accept these kinds of brutality in the name of God’s will, instead of their egoistic reasons. She just wants a better life, and I am almost certain that she was a devoted faithful girl. It is easy to condemn a crazy lunatic who kills her and puts an end to it. There is a question to be asked. Who else is responsible for Malala’s possible death? This fanatic can share his guiltiness with who he provides him with guns, who gives him orders, or even the society that allows him to live. Hoping that her life was not in vain, I pray for God to takes her in his arms like any father does, and console other children who share the same dreams as Malala had. Malala’s dreams and actions need to be continued by families of other children like her over the fear of losing a child, which is the biggest fear in any parent’s heart. The determination of a better future for their children through education should be reinforced, despite the crazy people in the world. One day or another, they will fall down. There is no way to stop time or reverse it. Evolution is and always be in our path.

A picture in a Catalog

In this month the company Ikea has removed from its catalog a picture where a woman with her family is having a pleasant family time. The Ikea Company apologizes for brushing out the woman from the image from its catalog in the Saudi Arabia version, saying that this was their fault. Catalog

“Our eyes are the window of our soul.” Still, in some enclosed and Hippocratic cultures, the way one expresses the blessing of eyesight is much prohibited.  Expressing one of the senses that God gave us is the way to be grateful for this piece of good intention and work called the body. Humans, like you and me, should not be afraid of what to see or how to be seen. It’s natural. It is God’s purpose. Our body was designed the same way. People still have body parts; some are by choice hidden and others naturally exposed. In our century, despite which latitude or hemisphere in which we are living, people can and should not be censored by how to dress or to express them. The time of being in a marketplace and disposed to being sold or considering how good looking one or how strong a teeth people have is no long acceptable. I do not want to see only someone’s teeth. I want to see everything. I want see another be proud of how someone’s body moves, I do not want to see only tears appearing in someone’s eyes. I would like see the tears rolling onto the face. Perhaps one day one will be free from modem captures. Perhaps your picture would be exposed in some famous “down the Earth” store that is very interested in saving trees by creating furniture that expresses to  the beauty of simplicity and seeing people as one on the planet. Stores like that, hardly exclusively concentrate on money. We can trust on them because they are pro rights, treat women equally, and sometimes, dare to, curtsy to any kingdom. The picture in their catalog will be fearfully treated and beautiful.
