Reading the comments to my blogs, there have been a few things that I have noticed, people reply in three ways, they either tell me to ignore something, aw they tell me this is the society and you just have to deal, aw even more aggravating they tell me I complain to much. Fair enough maybe I do, bas fuck it, that is part of what a blog is all about-giving me the space to bitch and moan-and for you all out there to read it and tell me to shuv it if you think I should.
Bas really the two that I hate the most are the ignore and this is society-I mean honestly-are we not part of this society, and if there is something that I don't like and I find from this post that quite a few people have noticed and get annoyed by the same things-does that not mean that we can change it? Why should I ignore it? Why should I not complain? How do societies change and develop? sho we wait for the US or UN or NATO to come in and tell us how to be. We bitch and get all hot under the collar when they do come in and ram the change down our throats, bas maybe that is because we are seen as people who don't know what to do...or even worse we are like the Ostrich...see something that we don't like and then under the sand-and we have a lot of that-we go!
We need to become more critical, not just take things and then say "oh well...this is society" roll our eyes, give a little laugh and move on.......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I know I suggested you to ignore the oggling of stupid men the other day mainly if b/c if you say something to them to berate them, they will enjoy getting a resposne out of you. It is a stupid oriental male personality thing, so do not bother giving even a second of your time.
ReplyDeleteI have also been accused of complianing about negative aspects of life in Amman even too though it is constructive criticism is most cases. People just do not want to hear what is wrong and being vocal about it annoys them.
I have had problems adapting to life in Amman after seven wonderful years in the USA becuase of being vocal about situations I see wrong and I think need correcting.
I have to fight bureacracy on a daily basis in my job, but unfortantely nobody listens, cares or wants change. So it onyl adds to ones frustrations.
Life in Amman is a bitch sometimes
Yes yes yes i feel you.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that I owe you an apology and an explanation, yes… I think you are complaining too much and I said that once,,, but I do hate it when people complain and criticize or even explain a problem without suggesting a solution,, the point is ,,, when you complain about something without proposing a the solution looks like that you waiting OTHERS to think of it ,, and do it for you,, I do encourage constructive criticism,,, basically it’s the way to get a better life. Constructive criticism ends up with a solution…. so.,, I hope I made myself clear and mmm thats it
