bored women
After coming from Sevgi and Fadi, Monday night, I felt I am very awake, and so i went back to reread the story that i started a year ago. I was reading and I suddenly felt inspired! Next time i looked it was 4:00!
Yesterday, I spent the whole day very sleepy! I woke up at around 8:00 to go to this coffee morning, where Palestinian women get together to be educated about the Palestinian case, and help gather donations. The donations go to this lady we all know, who goes to Ramalla often. She does what she sees fit, as no matter how much we know, we don’t know what they go through.
Arab women are really funny! every single foreigner I met here, lives great! They have activities, book clubs, they meet people, discover markets, enjoy their kids, have parties, quiz nights,… etc. They are simply fine.
On the other hand, every other Arab woman is so depressed, is on the verge of nervous break down, have given up so much for the bastard she married…will kill herself if she stayed another day, thinks the kids are too BEAUCOUP, is getting fat and does not what to do about it. I simply do not get it!
Yeah it is true, Saudi is not exactly Honolulu, but I just started realizing that we are very spoiled, very uncreative, we simply do not know how to live. I am talking about Jordanians, Palestinians, Lebanese, Egyptians, Syrians. .and it goes on. Of course, if each one of them has a maid and a nanny (who is the feeding, changing, bathing, playing with the kids) and a cook and a driver. Yeah, I would get bored as well. None of them is in the mood to open a book or go to the gym, to run after the kids…YEEEEE
BIEN, I leave now with the compliments DIEU
