Considering Candles!

Background: At home we face a problem with light bulbs, a bulb last for a month or so. We barely have our living room chandelier with full capacity working.

Note: We never considered eco lights, I don't believe they are environment friendly, considering how to get rid of them!

Yesterday, I went to the supermarket with mom. And regarding the background above, buying light bulbs is a kind of scientific research! So, mom picked one new brand we never tried. There was written that this bulb should last for 9 years and that was tested! At one side of the box was written that this is considered while the bulb is on for 3 hours a day!! And that it is made in Egypt!! So, automatically, we put it back in the row!

Now, I am thinking, whoever wrote this on the box, does he really live in Egypt? Does he know we have 12 hours of night?? How can I use the bulb for only 3 hours a day? Should I use candles the rest of the night or what!!

Ok, why did we gave up on candles? Why did Edison invent this light bulb in the first place?!! If he couldn't see he could use more than one candle you know!!

I am really considering candles! What kind of harm can candles bring? To me or to the environment? I have always loved candles, I love the flickering light, I enjoy the scented ones specially.
I decided to go back to the candle ages, have candlesticks as part of my decorating style. Have as many candles in the room as possible to keep the good lighting. Have a relaxing place to live in and enjoy my life ever after!!

A man of knowledge (The four natural enemies)

Sunday, April 15, 1962 As I was getting ready to leave, I decided to ask him once more about the enemies of a man of knowledge. I argued that I could not return for some time, and it would be a good idea to write down what he had to say and then think about it while I was away. He hesitated for a while, but then he began to talk. "When a man starts to learn, he is never clear about his objectives. His purpose is faulty; his intent is vague. He hopes for rewards that will never materialize, for he knows nothing of the hardships of learning. "He slowly begins to learn - bit by bit at first, then in big chunks. And his thoughts soon clash. What he learns is never what he pictured, or imagined, and so he begins to be afraid. Learning is never what one expects. Every step of learning is a new task, and the fear the man is experiencing begins to mount mercilessly, unyieldingly. His purpose becomes a battlefield. "And thus he has stumbled upon the first of his natural...

Living vs Waiting

Living: Living here is used as a generic word for “living the moment”. When someone is “living the moment” he feels alive, enjoying every moment, experiencing all the feelings and emotions he should in that special moment. He is totally present, feeling relaxed, and hopeful about his future. Waiting: As explained in Oxford dictionary; the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or event: ‘years of waiting’ On the contrary to “living the moment”, when someone is in a waiting state, he is probably wasting his time and emotions, not experiencing the feelings he should experience in his present moment. Not being there, not understanding. Worried and anxious about what to come that he doesn’t notice the beauty of his current moment. Waiting involves: intolerance, anxiety, anticipation. When someone is in a waiting state he starts to believe things have taken so long to happen. And this involves doubt that he is in charge of his own l...

"Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast."

The Prophet ~ Khalil Gibran
