today, exactly two years ago I had to leave my family so that I can put that little food on the table. I left in the name of my dignity and belief (not religious belief, that is). those things are mine, what ever happens. the very touching moment was that I had to leave my children and my pregnant wife. less than 24 hours after I set my foot on that foreign land, my child was born. I missed that experience waiting for her at the hospital.
someone reminds me that there is no need to look back. I wonder if the revolutions in Arabs today or in any part of the world were due to the fighters vision of the future. of course, they did. they look up to the future. they didn't want whatever bitter experience they had in the past would happen to their children. they fought because of injustice. they fought because they think they can change the world. some, like in Egypt, succeeded in doing so in less casualty. some, like in Libya, need to go war for that.
nothing can break the chain between past and future. of course, as we embrace today's life, the past is only use as a guide or reference. don't hold any grudge. so let it be like that way.
