Appreciation of Matters & Misfortune or Good Luck?

A monk and his novice were travelling. They came by a remote village. Two men, the elder monk perceived that one was a goldsmith and the other was a merchant, was standing at the store arguing about the thickness of a golden crown. Both wanted to take advantage on the selling price and its weight. The monks walked passed by and said,"the crown is useless without an empty arc to fit one's head, to appreciate wholeness of the dense golden crown entirely, you must appreciate absence and emptiness as well. Your pushcart's wheels have no use without a hole for the axle to go through just like you use your house from its emptiness." A farmer heard about two wise monks so he invited them to his place and asked, "My son just got a broken leg; is this a misfortune?" The elder monk said, "I'm not sure it's a misfortune."And the monks continued their journey. The next day, the emperor came through, gathering up young men for wars, they bypassed the farmer's son because he had a broken leg. 

The monks came by a ford for a high-speed steam that was running high the mountain. An old king mislaid the Four-leaves diamond up on the mountain.He sent his generals and their armies to search for it, but they came back empty-handed. He employed the sage of that mountain to search for it but that was a failure. Finally, in despair having tried everyone else, he met the monks. Had seen his sorrow, the elder monk offered the king a help as he called upon a laborer to the mountain, and the laborer found the diamond immediately. "How odd it is,"pondered the king,"that it was a low-class laborer who found it!" The elder monk said, "you should not judge ta man by the way he looks, it is what's inside that counts." At last the king appointed the laborer to be his satellite and gave away two horses to the monks in turn for their teachings. 

The monks' endless journey continues...

Egyptian Revolution 2011 Effected The Globe

Egyptians calling for an end to the arbitrary government of President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule captured the world's attention from 25th January 2011. The media focused especially in Cario's Central Tahrir where the people from across the country gathered up to form a mass protests, which is currently inspired the change in North African regions.



Originally, the government blocked the Internet access and telephone communication to avoid dipersion of malicious messages. This autocritic action led Egypt to be obsolete of the world's situation. Mass media that shares or gains profits from the Egyptian faced an extremely difficult time due to the retarded economical movements. In some independent entities (e.g. online retailer, telephone company, etc.), losses of oppotunity in financing led to the end of the company persistence. The end of the many companies created an even more drastic crisis, losses of occupations. This downward trend in the economics and political field created  great impact on Africa-overall states of society, economics, and politics.

Since the fall of the old regime, Egyptians have been struggling to build a new democratic one. It has been a long time since Egypt ancient time that millions of citizens participated in a vote to put an end to the constitution they had during Mubarak's era, recovered them from the moribund situation.
