Is love really blind?

“Love is blind” a word we hear and read about a lot in movies, novels, nowadays between friends, everyone is talking about the phrase “love is blind”. But let’s start first by trying to define this phrase. Blind love is when you love someone, it doesn't matter what they look like, or how they really act because love does not see flaws, and love makes one unable to see things as they really are.

But is love really blind or we are the one’s who choose to make it blind!!!

I do think that we are the ones who choose to make it blind. If you want to see the truth you will see it clearly but if we don’t want (and that’s what usually happens), we choose to see its perfect side and we neglect the flaws.

As long as we are in love with someone we choose to see him/her as perfect as possible with no single flaw. But when problems happen we see him/her “PERFECTLY”. You see their flaws and you start to think who this person is, I don’t know him/her. Actually this is the same person whom we loved, he didn’t change a little bit, but we are the ones who choose to view him as the “perfect” person from the beginning. He is acting normally but we are shocked or hurt because we choose not to see this part of him from the beginning, and then we go running and blame it on Love and say that it is blind. No we are the ones who choose to make it blind.

Love was never blind so my advice to you is seeing the flaws before the merit, because if you can accept the flaws which are the disadvantage in this love, you will be happy with the merits of it.

Always remember see the “Imperfect person perfectly” and you will be happy.

Halloween In Egypt

On the 31st of October, I woke up in the morning it was a normal day, or that’s what I thought it was. I had a phone call from one of my friends telling me that she will pick me up from home to go and search for a gift to one of our friends because her birthday was after three days. I went off my bed took a shower, had breakfast and was prepared to go out to search for the perfect gift. We bought a lovely gift and went to one of the famous toy stores to wrap it and get a card, before we entered the store we looked at its front window and we found that the store was having a theme, weird customs of vampires, werewolves, and spooky pumpkins. What is this, oh my god it’s Halloween! It was the first time that I recognized that we celebrate Halloween here in Egypt, to be honest it sounds weird; Halloween has nothing to do with us so why do we celebrate it! I thought about it for a minute and I recognized something more funny and weird, we celebrate Valentines, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. When I asked my friend the same question, she told me “okay I do agree with you but for the celebration of Valentine’s its normal, I think it’s a worldwide celebration but if you’re asking about the weird thing regarding Valentines you will find out that we celebrate it twice a year for some unknown reason”. I went back home still thinking about it, but unfortunately I didn’t go lucky I didn’t find a single answer to my thoughts. So I decided to forget about it and open my Facebook account that I haven’t checked for a week now and see what’s new with my friends. I had a shock, an invitation to WHAT… a Halloween house party, weird status of people saying Happy Halloween; others are attending events held in houses, clubs, restaurants, etc. OKAY this is serious; this is not Aprils fool… No we are in October, so what’s wrong, what’s going on in Egypt, I am twenty years old and as long as I lived we have never knew that Halloween existed except 5 years ago or something, right now we are celebrating it!
The happy part of this weird story that I wasn’t alone wandering, I found some people also wondering with me about the whole issue and the best one was for my cousin when he asked a question on his Facebook account “Since when did Halloween become national celebration in Egypt” and we found a lot of similar responds from people finding the issue getting on their nerves, and some shared stories about asking about customs out of curiosity and they found it worth 2000 pounds I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s true”.
Any way since people is starting to celebrate weird events we will start to celebrate the 4th of July but in the Egyptian style.
