شو يعني (إجبد)؟

أول ما سمعت كلمة (إجبد) فكرت معناها اشي زي (جلّس)… مش كاينة أفهم، و صارلي 9 أشهر برة البلد و شكلو صارت ((إجبد) رائجة الإستخدام. و من منطلق حب الوطن و عشق عمّان لازم أكون “أب تو ديت” باللي بصير بالبلد…لمساعدتي على الفهم الدقيق و العميق، فسّر (إجبد) أو ضعها في جملة مفيدة

So Lammoush, whats it gonna be?

You know how you read about people who sacrificed something very dear (in some cases, their lives) for what they believe in?

Some read these stories and get very impressed (wither or not they could do the same)

Some read these stories and think: what a jerk! 

You know how you suddenly become Mr. smart mouth and start giving long lectures about how a person should stand up for his/her principles? While you don’t bother imagining yourself in that shoe or you can’t even imagine how hard that could be? Or even you don’t do it yourself?

Well, I’m there again now. It’s not the first situation like that, but lets say this one needs a lot of courage.

I think the smartest thing to do is to decide based on my own experience, because when I do something, I’ll have to deal with the consequences myself, not those who gave me the advice.

 Most of the times when I had to take a decision, I went with what I felt was right. Some were small but symbolized a lot to me. In cases I had to go against the stream or some people’s advice, but felt right. Later I was very happy I did that because it turns out to be the right thing, at least for me.

I have an issue with the word regret, I never use it. Not because I never did anything wrong, but because regret is a waste of time and energy. I could just make sure I fix it and never do the same mistake again.

There was this one time though, where I forced myself to take a decision I felt was not suitable for me, or felt was going against my believes. And here I say “I forced myself” because I admit I had the choice but was too scared or weak to stand up for what I want. And today I say this was the one and only decision I regret in my whole life.

Some decisions I made with fear, of how I’ll be alone with lots of others on the opposite side if my plan doesn’t work. And couldn’t avoid making them because deep inside I knew was right. What do I know? Most of the times it went great and I was like: wow! That wasn’t so bad now was it? And just went on with a big smile.

Now again I find myself in crossroads, maybe the biggest crossroads ever, but the easiest. There’s nothing in the world that could convince me more than my own experience.  After all this, the answers are right there and smiling to me.
