The middle Easterns, Indian, Red Indians, and Chinese have one thing in common- they all believe in the existence of the Evil Eye.
Evil Eye is the source of evil and it brings bad luck in many forms to the victim. For example, the Turks or Persians believe that you should always be modest and humble whenever good fortunes come your way. Once another person senses your good fortunes, and when he or she looks at you with the eyes of envy and bad intentions, this will in return provoke the evil eyes, and calamities shall befall on you.
The Chinese and the Indians have many other "myths" regarding this but it all boils down to the same thing, which is bad luck.
Therefore we always keep the "good eye" pendant with us, or carry a charm to shield ourselves from these things- but is it for real? If we parallel this concept with the "Law of Attraction", it will make sense.
We make ourselves believe in this old folk tale that our ancestors used to tell us, and ingrain them into our mind. Once we believe such things, we open doors for those supernatural phenomenas to happen to us.
We are actually attracting all the bad luck because we believe in them and we always relate all our "coincidental" bad incidents to the idea of theEvil Eye.
But what if even a non-believer of the evil eye, experiences much calamities after each time she boasts or shows off her good fortune indirectly to a less fortunate person and thus have him looked at her with the eyes of envy?
Could it be mere coincidental ( please do note that she repeatedly suffered so much of stress and anxiety from these unfortunate events) or could it really be one of the forces or energy that do exist in this world?
Or Could it just be a mere theory that our ancestors created to make more sense of the nature of the world or is it REALLY for real?
Anyways I'm writing this because it seems like I've been plagued by the evil eye. I have been experiencing so much of bad luck in a short span of time and it seems so supernatural.
List of unfortunate events: 1) My room came down on me. Not literally but every thing imaginable is broken in my room. My air-cond, my lock, my lights, my toilet, my bed, and there is a hole in the ceiling which drips water onto my bed.
2)Moreover, my car went crazy too.
3) Drove the mini, and the window cracked. A rock flew out of nowhere and landed itself on the windshield.
4) The day after that, I lost my phone.
5)Then I lost my cam.
6)and today, my car broke down in the middle of the night. Thank god Amir was with me and that was how the evil eye dawned on me
He told me about the idea of Evil eye and it made sense. Today, I went to his house and hung out with his roommate and him. His roommate's gf canceled on him on X'mas because she doesn't want to see him. I was acting all lovey dovey with Amir and Amir asked me to stop when he saw the way his roommate looked at him.
After that, we went out and the car broke down.
Even before that, I drove the mini to his house and his roommate made such a big deal out of it. Right after that, a rock flew out of nowhere and caused a crack in my windshield.
I said these incidents could be coincidental but Amir told me that it has happened to him so many times when he boasted to other people about his good fortune.
Yet again, he believed in it and he attracted all these bad events. Or maybe it really does exist and that's how it came to existence.
She is always misunderstood and that is because she always speaks her mind. Her words may be hurtful but I always find her to be better than the other person who always hide in the shadow and scrutinize for afar.
I criticize her too, and many have heard me say she needs to go to rehab and she is the worst mother in the world, but deep down inside I know she really cares. That is why I say it out loud without embarrassment, because I have came to terms with her problems and flaws.
I understand her problems, her addictions, her needs, her history and her mentality. I have come to terms with every single detail and actions she brings into the daily platter. Even so, I don't back her up when she messes up neither do I go against her at those times. I won't hide my dissatisfaction with a pretentious smile, but I will tell her out loud that she is being lousy and she is causing problems. I scream at her in public too and sometimes I even close the door on her face when she is acting irrational. That's me. When I love you, I give u my wrath and my love. As simple as that.
So who is being the bad guy here? I am the bad guy to my mum when I scream in her face and I am the bad guy to my siblings when I support her in her time of needs . I am basically- Neutral. This is how love supposed to be. Doesn't mean when you love someone, you back them up in every single situation nor you embellish them with words of praises and sometimes even dilute the truth with those sweet words of yours.
You have to be fair and neutral. So my dear sisters, I am not telling you to see the other light, but I am just imploring you to be understanding and fair. Take her as she is and not less or more.
She may not be perfect and she may have said words of dagger, but after all the chaos and the misunderstanding, she lets everything go. She embraces you into her arms again after all the mishaps and the hurtful words you have uttered. In this game with her, there is no such game as the Malay game. If you are not happy, say it straight to her face- That is her style. If you are not happy with her, but shy yourself away from her and expect her to reconcile, it will never happen.
Grow up and see that nothing in this world is picture perfect.Even Bree who epitomizes the perfect housewife, also has problems of her own. So I'd say, wake up and smell reality.
GOD BLESS YOUTUBE! It has just answered all my dilemmas. This is what I have been trying to tell Amir and all stupid Iranians out there, but they just can't see it.
I know that this video could be bias, and could have been tempered for the sake of entertainment. Hell I don't care! its sooooo stupid...Thank You God! See this vid!
Honestly, I love female nude art. In fact, I wanna to pose nude for art. What could be more beautiful than a female's body? Imagine a woman laying on her bed with the soft moon light beaming over her body. The curve ever so prominent, the skin so soft and supple to the eyes, the breasts of the proportionate shape like a rain drop and primarily her face reflecting calmness and female pride.
The valley of joy and love.
I would want to do it because I love my body and I am very comfortable with my sexuality. Through nude art, I am able to express my sexuality in a very universal and beautiful way. I perceive a woman's body as a magnificent work of Mother Nature and not something explicit or forbidden as many narrow-minded men perceive it to be. I would very much want to break that perception and let people see that nudity too can be a beauty and not a taboo.
It's not only men that makes female nude art seems explicit, but women themselves make it seem so. But I won't touch on that point because when it comes to women, it gets tricky. But my point is, nude doesn't necessarily mean its sensuous and sexual. To most people, the term sensuous and sexual are deemed as degrading when women exude it openly. However, I beg to differ. Being sensuous and sexual to me, shows that you are very much in touch with your inner female prowess and you are mature enough to understand that your body is something so natural and in fact very much like the Garden of Eden.
It might seem weird for me to me compare a woman's body to the Garden of Eden, but that is the only thing that pops into my head when I think nude art because a female's body is something so heavenly to me. Okie...Dun try to say I sound like a Les, but it more than that! It's my inner artistic child talking!
The only thing that is holding me back from grabbing the camera and start posing nude is the clash of beliefs between the traditional side of me and the liberal side of me. The conservative side of me is saying that posing nude is only the western culture and by posing nude, I am actually surrendering myself to the screwed up beliefs that these westerners actually have.
On the other hand, I am so sick of these traditional values whereby a women's body should be a temple in order to preserve her dignity. The same goes for virginity, whereby a woman must be a virgin meanwhile guys can sleep around and sharpen their bed skills. Where is the equality between men and women this way? Why must I fall into all these beliefs when all these beliefs were used to objectify women? Why should I? Why should I believe all this if it doesn't apply to the society now? The society seems like a hypocritical one to me for sure. I cannot imagine preserving my virginity for my husband and knowing that there is no man out there who is a virgin anymore.
It just baffles me! My worth doesn't rely on my body, but it relies on my spirituality, my personality and my wit. It relies on my outlook towards the world. Taking care of my worth meaning taking care of myself seriously, where I only take in the positive and good energy into my life. Crappy man, crappy food, crappy sex, crappy nude art, crappy house is totally banned in my life. Only the best and finest should be in my life and this is how I value and preserve my worth!
It is all about the enrichment of the soul and I don't care if it includes sex. ; p
I may sound like I know my stand in this world, but everything still seems ambiguous to me when it comes to nude art. I don't have to show my body to make a statement and I neither do should I make an effort to hide it. What should I do?
