It's not about what is there- It's what we choose to look for....

It's not about what is there-its what we choose to look for...

Last year, I went through a lot of turmoil due to change of job location, the teething teenager attitude, being jobless for actually 2 months, seeing the true faces of people looking right past you as if your presence is non-existential and forgetting all the moments shared:making one wonder even it was true or not.

But the most seismic activity that will and I have to adapt to is living in a mountainous area, especially a person like me who has always been and lived in a city hub whether it be my homeland or abroad. Not only the life here seems to be difficult, but it seems the influx of opulent wealth has made the people here somewhat of an extreme finicky and extravagantly bossy as instead of respecting the profession where we are they enter hospital as if it's their eternal abode and they own it and we are servants. Also they seem to be good in keeping grudges dragging it for a long time. Another thing is their obvious loose preference for being a regular in educational institution and forcing the healthcare workers to award them sick leave under pretext of being sick. Less shops, sparse and gender specific recreation and rough terrain, unpredictable weather and with snakes, and scorpios and malaria being an uninvited companion, and no public transportation it's obvious to an observer of the obstacles a newcomer or a stranger even old comer faces though the old comer survives with a sighed resignation.

On the other hand, the family involvement with seniors sometimes living to more than 100 years, unique species of birds and the caring attitude behind some stubborn values not to mention the cute and chubby kids some of them show that even though the glass is half empty it's emptiness is noticeable for the glass that is half full.
