A minute of silence

Did you guys every hear..about the minute of silence????where all the people stay still for a minute in remembrance of an event..usually a tragic one..

such as 7/11 ..or 7/7 in london's underground bombings...(I have a feeling that 7 isn't a very lucky number like most people believe) ..hmmmm let me rephrase that..actually London gave the attacks a 2 minute of silence...Thats when spain came in and gave it a 5 minute for the 11/3 Train bombings..(high on bid offer?????)..

I was actually with a friend of mine in london when the 2min of silence began known as "stay still to the closest underground that is in your reach and do NOT move.."That is when she turned and looked at me drinking her cafe latte extra caramel ..yes we were at a starbucks..and no we did not go the closest underground to stand still...

"Masha..habibti..why don't we in our countries do a minute or two to the people who died tragically?!I mean why didn't we think of it?"...lol..she is so cute...and sometimes can be so "clueless"...but thats what i love about her...

"hayati..if we tried to apply this theory... first of all WHO should we apply it too...palestiniens?..irakis?..(and now lebanese)????..and if we do agree of a timetable of silences to each country..darling we will stand still in silence for 20 YEARS or more in proportion to the number of dead we have...so I guess you should forget about the whole issue!"

"Oh...sa7!"...which means literally.."oh..your right!"..

But she did raise an interesting question right there..how can we show a public mourning to our innocent dead..Ok I know we as muslims are raised not show anything publicly..especially when it comes to feelings or good deeds...even less complain..hell we even hide our desires... we are taught to support our actions and thank god for the blessings he gave us...and if you are doomed than shut up and accept your destiny (qadaa ou qadar)..or be patient...

But the world has changed now and people do not understand "good manners" even less "love thy neighbour"...what they do understand is scandals and complaints and sueing...the more you cry the more you are heard..the more scandal you make and images you show the more people listen to you and are scared of you..jews got the picture...

Till now every single german citizen including the new generations should pay taxes to what they did in world war II..well we can't really use that strategy either cause the world's economy is going to go down and the rest of the world should be obliged to live as "pirates of the carrabien" to seek for hidden treasures..

hmmmm...I really don't know....any ideas?
