lying ? well, weather permitting.....


Even the ones who state they have never lied,do so unknowingly.

WHY ? You might ask,to which the answer is as simple and straightforward as the question . And what has the weather to do with lying you may think?

I will leave you to think for a moment .....

I can actually hear you thinking Luna has gone overboard this time shes over done it.She's a cracker .To which I'd reply a cracker I'd eat but have chosen to not become one as it would be too crowded with the many weirdoes I encounter on a daily basis through the net and first hand!

What does lying have in common with the weather?

Ok ,so we do blame the weather on everything ,do we not ? This time its with a twist, that of lying about the weather -now youre going ,huh ?

I bet you still can't get it !

Here goes:

When we are enjoying our seasons,to which you are lucky if you still have them,as in Libya we tend to have them nearly all in a day most times, actually leaving us to say that we have two seasons ie winter and spring.

When winter sets in and we have to face the cold weather we promise that we'd never complain about the great summer and its heat even though we feel like we'd be roasting in an on going ,never ending oven !

To which some of our complaints would be ;"Give me summer anyday ; let the heat kill me .""Ah but not the cold. How many clothes are needed to keep us warm ?"

Yes,in summer we dont need such an abbundance of clothes,true,.For we can chose to be as light as our social status alows us ie bare little or all,or dont bare ,last one is for the conservatives !

Come summer brining the Ghibli(hot ,sandy ,wind) continues to blow dry us till our saliva is no more,making us litterally living under showers ,in bathtubs or for the ones who can afford it, swimming pools.

Cool you might think -then boredrom sets in and we wish we were in winter with a never ending blizzard leaving us freezing ,so what ,hence convincing ourselves we'd just cover up very well ,anything but the heat...


So ,is this not lying ,or have we gotten into thinking that lying is another matter. The subject is that we can call them , white lies or sweet lies but they are LIES at the end of the day ,because when promises are made ,they are to be kept otherwise lying takes place which can become a hard habbit to break,even if it started out with the weather!

Libyan Bloggers...


Why do people who claim to be open minded are actually the best hypocrites in the world???

In the past months while reading the Libyan blogs I have come across a lot of vulgar comments that could have been avoided as there is no cause for such distasteful uncreative scornful low class vulgar comments that take any topic personally.

In my point of view, a blogger like any other writer can spell out whatever he or she feels is in his /her own frame of mind and concern to be true. Whether we agree or not is a different story and should by no way be taken seriously or personally.

As always the blame lies in our people though sad to say are supposedly professionals and not ignorant but to which the opposite is true.

Why can’t we accept the facts as seen from a different angle and try to figure out what can be done to resolve the problem or info posted. There are means and ways of communicating that are motivating and creative. Why the personal agenda as if we're all traitors of some sort???

Libyan Bloggers are either Libyans or ex pats married to Libyans who live either in the homeland or abroad. Can we not benefit from sharing our honest experiences without putting ourselves down after a battlefield of words, which is a no win game that leaves us hurt and full of resentment.

Many Libyan Bloggers have stopped altogether due to pressured comments, leaving them to wonder in a yo yo phase. Expecting great blogging feedback is also wrong for the joy of writing and sharing cannot be compared or measured in any which way or form.


So please do encourage each other for we all belong to one country one way or another and have a relatively good cause to be labeled Libyan Bloggers!

Deep down we Libyans can do better and gain experiences by sharing our own without labeling each other, for at the end of the day we all belong not only as Libyans but as decent human beings in need of peace, love and respect .
