Insight for Human Life

Since I was young, I used to write down some thoughts that were never published either in paper or electronic form. As years passed, I used to roll back to my papers for checking them out as they inspire me. Hereby, I decided to share you some of my notes either the ones I wrote down few years ago or those who are still in my mind in parallel with comments on other public figures quotations this shall filed under “Insight” category.

These notes will not be posts but merely few lines that render my perspective regarding the topic of discussion plus illustrations that may be related. Furthermore, despite I have already published some of them since establishing my “English” and “Arabic portals” in 2006, as mentioned in the about blog document, I am re-publishing these notes over my blog as this might creates the chance for you to comment on them and for me to learn from your comments and this simply means more enlightenments for all.

On the other hand, it is not only about my thoughts but also may include quotations from public figures regardless their nationality. In this case, it will be like a commentary or better say reflections on the quotations as I perceived them.

Technical tip: every note will be posted as I originally wrote, link for this post to introduce it for my new readers and linking back to original source over my portals for the purpose of self documentation.

See you around then hopefully (inshallah) my dears. :)

The Language of Human Nature

My journey for exploring the complexity of human nature is still going on in different stages. The first phase was wandering in the wonderland of human nature, the second phase was booking places under the sun of human nature and this is the 3rd phase about the language used by people in mundane interaction.

The Language of Human Nature

The Language of Human Nature

Nowadays it is notable to hear people complain about problems while dealing with each other, so let us analyze the reasons behind the problems of the language interaction of human nature.

In my perspective, human interaction is one of the most complicated processes that take place on various level starting from the individuals, passing by the social groups and end with global nation interaction.

This is mainly because unlike kingdoms of other creatures on planet Earth, the language of human nature implemented in these kinds of interactions has its own different levels of communication; starting with spoken language, passing by the body language and ending with the acts which is a language too from my perspective. Hereby, if we try to analyze how language reflects the various types interactions on different levels, we shall discover the the following two factor.

The Con Factor

I see these problems are directly proportional to the how we implement our saying plus doings with other humans in whatever situation according to the only two cases of conjugation and contradiction alternatively.

  • Case 1 – Conjugation: This case means what you say is moving in parallel with what you do in different situations. Hereby, the resultant force of both sayings and doings is a positive one that gives you a straight-forward push that allows you to gain credibility among people. In other words, this means to rank as trustful and honest personality that people can rely on.
  • Case 2 – Contradiction: This case means what you say is just contradicting with what you do in different situations. Hereby, the resultant force of both sayings and doings is a negative one as each force is trying to gain control on the other which cause confusion for the people dealing with you and this decrease your credibility till the point you loose it. In other words, this means to rank as untruthful and dishonest.

Here you find the con as a common factor among the two cases yet they are merely contradicting each other and lead to total different destinations. Nevertheless, I have to mention that I mean by “sayings” both what you say and believe in; hence it is not only the spoken language whereas “doings (or actions)” means both what you and your body do; hence it is not only the actions but your body language too.

These two mentioned cases reveal the state of balance and unbalance which I have mentioned in the second stage of this wandering so indeed; People are different in perspectives due to the unique personality of each human being plus many other factors; however there is always a common ground that we can meet within to interact.

In a nutshell, people cannot discover or understand each other unless clarity is the keystone or else everything will be dimmed; this is – by the way – one of the cornerstones of the Islamic faith which Muslims are ought to follow; being honest and clear people and this is the core of the language of human nature. Moreover, since we are humans who have minds not merely brains therefore we can model a bridge or a wall among each other, hence it is all our hands and the choice is ours!

Under the Sun of Human Nature

How years pass quickly as 32 years already have passed since I was born on planet Earth yet during my whole life, I was – and still – trying to explore the complexity of human nature in order to understand better and thus fulfilling a very basic need of mine; the knowledge need. For that matter, after finishing the first phase of my wanderings in wonderland of human nature, here is the 2nd phase where I wonder about the ways people walk-through to book a place under the sun.

Under the Sun of Human Nature

Under the Sun of Human Nature

It is normal and important that people are running to seize their own chance according to the human nature for taking a place under the sun but the question is simply what about the way to get book this place?

It is usually easy to take the illegal short-cuts in order to achieve whatever goals where this attitude seems fruitful on the short run, especially if the person convinced himself or herself that this is the right way since others do so.

At the first glance, maybe this is right but my simple question: is it true on the long run? I think definitely it is not because what happens is not convincing the but rather deceiving oneself in the first place and this way might lead not only to destroying person’s life but others’ too!

In my perspective, we are supposed to reach for achieving our own balance with the context surrounding us, either the physiological environment or the psychological one and this balance occurs when we act in the right way both with the omnipotent universal power Almighty Allah (swt) – GOD – and people like us. This is the way that helps us in achieving harmony that creates the balance which we need in order to bear living in this life and have our healthy place under the sun.

On the other hand, in case of acting wrong by taking the illegal ways to achieve things, we are sadly destroying such balance. In other words, this simply means that the absence of harmony paves the way for catastrophic problems to exist not merely for us but mainly for others too since we are living in a community. Nevertheless, no body can claim that problems will completely disappear if the balance occurs; Nah! As everybody has his (and her) personal problems but there are normal problems that can be solved while others that are catastrophic and the last always occurs by our own hands while trying to book a place under the sun.

Nowadays, the call for virtues seems a silly one for some people, and for others it is legacy enough to be placed in museums but it is not; it is the core of healthy human interaction if anybody still cares about this while trying to book his or her place under the sun. Moreover, I am aware that Utopia does not – and shall not – exist on planet Earth as I usually say; however since we live life once, it is worthy to take care about what we do especially that it paves the path to the eternal life in the hereafter and this cannot be achieved unless our human intellect is implemented through rational way of thinking that understand other people.

In a nutshell, we are usually advised to that it is wrong to stay under the sun for a long time without any protection, hence I mentioned the sun block in this blog entry!
