TO DAY
Almost ten times per day I think my life now is really tough, either sentimentally or when I work with stupid people, to make myself understand clearly or for any other reason that I am not going to develop here.
It’s really important to realize then that some women in this world have a really brave and exemplar behaviour. Even though every persons problem is relative to each other’s life, we got to stay humble and try to get us to higher possibilities.
Yesterday there’s this kind of not very bad but not very good series of documentaries on M6 channel presented by a non-very-charismatic guy, subject was life in Kaboul, Afghanistan, and, in spite of a very bad punchline going along with the documentary, I decided to stay in front of it.
There’s this woman, Faïma, she is one of the rare divorced in Afghanistan, her husband repudied her because she was too independant, maybe he left her with their child when she decided to get her driver’s license (she was the first woman to get it in the country, 3 years ago), she was a Tae Kwon Do champion and now is running to sit at the Parliament.
People in her neighborhood know what she does and they are shooting with fireguns in the walls of her house everyday to intimidate her. She borrowed money to make her campaign flyers and when she is distributing them to women with Burkas, most of them don’t know what she is talking about because they can’t read. If she is elected her goal is to focus on women’s life emprovement.
People there are so desperate, drugs cost less money than regular food, and when one of the interviewed guy was telling the journalist one century would never be enough time for the country to become normal, I thought I have no right to complain. And there’s not only in Afghanistan that life sucks, that you can’t decide for your own life.
We always think that it’s better out there but it also can be worst.
Be happy.
