Can I say I participate every day?
By: Nour Mosawy
Country: Iraq
I am here in my land, in the place I was born, in the house I live...
Would I say I participate to this home everyday? by simple act of attending a lecture? or going to school? listening to a professor? or applying the uniform ??
I say yes, I participate to the professor by listening to his lecture, trying to understand, interact. I would feel alive, knowing what happened in this hour of my day of my life, and showing respect to the teacher preparing this lecture!
It's just like listening to music, making an opinion, then more to interact and try to make play another music I favour!!
Wouldn't it be participation if I ask a smoker to stop smoking in a hospital?? It can go more by insisting on that...
But then, I come to say, why do I participate? Why do I have to show my opinion? share and debate??
I can do alone, perhaps and sometimes. But I believe we are on this planet lots, groups...not ones on each planet, or each area of land....there must be a necessity to feel people around us...anyone but around us.
Sometimes we need more to feel, we choose ways, take chances to try to know what makes us more happy, more excited...
We can simply sometimes be happy by knowing we interact, participate, even with air, nature and streets!!! That's what makes us favour a place on another for no specific reason at times.
Don't you like Kenya? and its nature? Don't you like Egypt with its desert? New York with its' streets.....or Baghdad with all what it suffers throughout her years??
We even participate to the land we live in, we develop emotions and feel excitements, simply if we love the place we are in, if we know we are taking and giving.
We participate to the beauty of this world, and as much as we try sometimes, it becomes more beautiful, hence...giving us more pleasure, and more reward and promises of better tomorrow and nicer future!
We never felt it so true before....though we used to apply it...participation, we used to clean our classes in high school, study hard to make good results...do some sewing and creative toys in art lessons...then buying them at lower prices for families...
And now, we are expanding to know the term participation, perhaps more shown application, we show some of our voices, opinions...try as possible as we can to change something...or do our duties to work for better tomorrow for us and our communities...
We are trying...we are participating...
We are gaining ....what?? a feeling inside, of freedom, of feeling alive, of tearful ligh joy of being there where we connected to all we knew throughout our lives.....being there participating to ourselves to build our careers we want, to our community to share daily events , to our land to cry her and try to promise her of better tomorrow returning to her the beauty we always see.
