Today Egypt is Islamic Republic, that means it's language is Arabic, Culture is Arab and the race of the people is Arab... Only been there for 1400 years, doesn't have anything to do with Egyptians of 4000 years ago...
heyy im a whitewashed Egyptian lol so i felt ashamed of my country and Middle Eastern/North African culture in general but I am slowly learning to accept and love it, thank you for this video :)
Thanks for this video. Inspirational. I have read almost every book by Haruki Murakami. His books can fascinate me. My favorite book/trilogy is 1Q84. Ever. There are some parallels between my past and the story of the book. Thanks.
Zen saying, "If you pluck a feather from the rear of a peacock and stick it in your own don't expect it to grow!" The wabi-sabi principles sound great but they can, like those of the tea ceremony, be adopted as a fashionable pose which obscures ones awareness that ones personality has not become wabi-sabi. Aliveness, realism, ironic humor, and authenticity in my own skin (wabi-sabi) is rare in our society, the realizing of which usually requires a personal crisis followed by a psychological counseling process to work through the feelings of inadequacy that our society intentionally engenders in all of us. Inadequacy makes us peacock feather pluckers!
Master Oogway is such a great character and one of the reasons why I love the KFP movies. He’s optimistic and wise even in the most stressful situations. The moment when he ascends into the Spirit Realm is the most beautiful and powerful scene in the film.
Warmbier didn't simply take a poster from his Hotel Room, what he did was probably the dumbest shit anyone has done in the 21st century - He snuck into a secret part of the hotel, that was filled with secret police who were there to spy on tourists, and stole a poster from there. Its almost like he wanted to get gulaged
Yesterday is history. Learn from it Tomorrow is a mystery . Wait and cheer up for it But today is a gift, that is why is it called present. So accept it and be happy and peaceful
I saw Kung Fu Panda the first time when I was deep in depression. The quote 1 (about today being a present) gave me such a warm feeling, hope and a feeling to be worthy. I talked in therapy about, that I have found a mentor, about that quote and from there on things got better.
