The Knob's Missing

If we are serious about the possession of a certain capacity – say the capacity to reason or to speak – demarcating the difference between those who do deserve moral consideration and those who don’t, and if we are self-consistent, then we should permit treating the marginal cases just as we treat other morally disenfranchised beings: without qualms, researchers might perform painful medical experiments and test products on unwanted babies, state fish and game departments might open a hunting season on the retarded, and Purina might make dog food out of the senile.

J. Baird Callicott

Just a thought to ponder.
(And my Nora is out of Purina)

تهقون بو مبارك راح يتزوج حصة على حمدة؟
.
وتهقون ينجح أعضاء لجنة التحقيق بالمخالفات الانتخابية في إيقاف رئيس جهاز خدمة المواطن عن عمله حتى انتهاء التحقيق؟
أبواب السما مفتوحة في هذا الشهر الفضيل.. قولوا الله

The Key to a successful relationship is opening up and expressing your feelings in order to resolve conflicts, right?
Wrong. Do not express.. Repress and save your energy.

about al frayya, even though I never followed any mosalsal, but yeah well what's drama without your husband cheating or remarrying?

and the last part, I was ganna say what you said in the end, who wants to express! no wait, who wants to listen! move on.

You're a smart girl. Some people still think expressing is the way to go.
Alla yhadeehom.

I liked the song! Is it from her latest?

Arfana
Boring, but heartbreaking nonetheless.

When is Nora's Bar Mitzvah?

Express, repress, makes no difference. Relationships suck. Who needs them? (kilish mo min galby but I am/should be cynical and skeptical by nature)

Khargoush said...

7abibti Sayouk, about repress, just recently I heard that my disturbed X talked bulshit about me a while ago. Some one told me to confront him and express, I said wallah no way I will repress la2ana believe me MAKO FAYDAH, and not worth the energy, so repress 7abibti all the way :)even in on going relationships most of the time repress is better.

kwtia said...

What's the point of saved energy? Use it up, there's always more where it came from..and keep doing anything you like with it.

Delicately Realistic said...

.. Repress and save your energy.

Great! Now u tell me. I thought repressing was bad & id change :/ now i know. The hard way.

Shiftaw ishsawat 7e99o? Bachona ilyom 3l f6or!

iDip said...

Yes it is

3abeer said...

Repression ..repression..repression all the way!

the only thing you will gain out of expressing .. is a grudge from your significant other :)

and he/she might rub it in later..

أبواب السما مفتوحة
ويالله ينجحون في إيقافه عن العمل
بس الله لا يقول بو مبارك ياخذ حصصوووووه الجلبة
ما تستاهل حمده المسجينة

& I'll have to object here
yes it is the key to a successful relationship .. & even to a "succeessful breakingup" .... if there's ever such a sentence
& you know or will know that ..

آنا شخصيا إذا ما طلعت كل اللي بقلبي ما انام الليل

ValenciaLover said...

Alia

بس أنا صرت ما أنام الليل من ساعة ما طلعت كل اللي بقلبي

Repress is good if you can take it... unfortunately, i can't, and i always regret it afterwords

♀ L's brain ♀ said...

ur absolutely right. don't express any feeling. expressing feelings is like butterflies u know, hold one a little tight, it'll crush, hold it too loose, it'll fly. never feed ur partner's emotional hunger. never. sometimes when u express a little it's a whole lot more powerful than grinding. bas shfahmna 3ad. once we fall in love, we become totally blinded by this stupid feeling. this is my motto "enjoy the SEX and the hell with the rest" ambee shfeny shta6eeeeet :)

why???!!!!

Man is a talking animal. If you take “talking” out from the sentence it will be, Man is an animal…
Sorry, so so os so so so so so os soooooooooooo sorry that I have expressed my feelings. I have should suppress them.
Best song for the moment, James blunt (you’re beautiful).

question, who cares if the end result sucks? what's important (for me) is that I feel good now. yseer khair later.

keep holding back and you'll eventually end up with a heart of stone :-p

أحسن له ياخذها، من شاف شعر حمده وشعر حصة بيعرف

Mohammad Al-Yousifi said...

بالنسبة لموضوع رئيس خدمة المواطن , يعتمد اذا كان يايهم جرين لايت من فوق أو لا, فعلا الكل مترقب نتيجة هذه القضية ليس لأهميتها و أهمية الشخص لكن نتيجتها راح تحدد رجال المرحلة المقبلة و اتجاه الدفة

هل سيصمد الثلاثي أو نرى ثلاثي جديد على الساحة

اللهم زد و بارك

للأسف رئيس جهاز خدمة المواطن (وغيره) خلوا السالفة تصير أقرب إلى العداء الشخصي.. وصارت أسماؤهم تسبب لنا حساسية

الكويتيين النجادة يسمون الفرية "النقبه" وهي تكون أصغر بالحجم من الفرية بحيث يقدر يمر منها الأطفال فقط ...الحكاره تنفع ساعات

Express

و اللي ما يعجبه ايطق راسه بالطوفه، اللي ما يتقبل التعبير عن النفس بكل صراحة!! ماله داعي :) ولا تجاملين على حساب نفسك

White Wings said...

I express when the listener is worth it
i don't repress
i ignore when the involved ma yestahel
and some times i express to the unworthy just to spite them :)
try it, it feels good
