After thirty years of suffering and affliction caused by a
regime’s tyranny, dictatorship as well as despotism, the sun has finally
determined to shine in our beloved country. Having an extraordinary enthusiasm
and an incomparable impetus, this majestic nation was able to annihilate an
indomitable regime. Nevertheless, after living in an atmosphere flooded by
humiliation, ignorance and poverty during

The Qualities Of A Good Friend
Honest,
funny, unique, interesting, attentive, adaptable, supportive, giver, loyal,
positive are all the words that jumped into my mind when I first though of the
qualities of a good friend. Also, I contemplated on one of the most popular
saying about friends that states that friends have to admire your pros and
ignore your cons. Hence, I decided to write a long sustained and angelic post
in order to define the word “friend”. Suddenly, I got a whisper in my mind that
reminds me that the qualities, which I expect to be in my friends, should – at
least some of them- be present in me. As a result, I took a moment to re-contemplate
about the criteria, which I established to define a good friend. Comparing
those qualities to my own, I discovered that I did not only over estimate them
but also turns out to be describing holy beings that were sent by god which is
-no offense- far way from the truth. By then, I went-over and examined how can
I assume a person is a go friend or not. Therefore, I only found a unique answer
yet recognized by many different sources. Taking as an example a quote from the
“Torah” which necessitates that “what is hateful to you, do not do to your
neighbor” or even another quote from the “Koran” which states that “no one of
you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for
himself”. So, I think these two quotes say it all. From the moment when you
feel like sharing the same chemistry and some common interests as well as
assure that you’re friendship is based on the concept mentioned above, you have
to let your friend acts freely around you. As for myself, the most I can do for
my friends is simply be their friend –their true friend.

A True Brother
Who said brothers and sisters
should share childhood,
Build prodigious sand castles
on a sunny and sparkling summer morning,
Who said it’s too late to
have a brother
A true brother.
A grade 8 girl, going to
school delightfully,
Therefrom, appears a school
hero into her life surprisingly
Who becomes the reason why
her sun shines everyday agreeably
Therefore she’s proud to call
him a true brother
Thrilled to have someone to
fight and to get in trouble with,
Someone to tell her secrets
to, and to laugh and cry together
Therefore she’s proud to call
him a true brother
Even though she knows he’s
not a child of her mother
Yet she’s proud to call him a
true brother.

Constitution
The
constitution is the framework of fundamental laws and principles that establish
the nature or function of governments. However, It doesn’t only concern
sovereign states but different levels of organizations – from sovereign states
to unincorporated associations. Its role is to protect the citizens’ rights and
freedom by imposing laws on those who practice political power. Basically, the
constitution protects people from the threat of tyranny.
In
1877, explorations was made by Ernest de Sarzec found evidence of the earliest
form of government. It was issued by the Sumerian king Urukagina of Lagash
around 2300 BC. It’s perhaps the first document that imposed some laws for
citizens to follow, although the document hasn’t been found yet. However, we
know some of the rights that the document allows to its citizens. For example,
it relieves tax for widows and orphans, and protects the poor from being
exploited by rich people. By then, many governments ruled by same concept of
written laws. The oldest document known to exist is Code of Ur-Nammu of Ur,
issued in 2050 BC.
Personally, I wished that we could form the
presidential elections before doing the constitution because once it’s
established; I believe that it will affect peoples’ choice. However, in order
to have a president we have to have a parliament and a constitution since it’s
necessary to swear the oath while having an “activated” constitution. In fact,
I believe that having the constitution written first or having the presidential
elections first is not a big deal. The real problem is in the candidates whom
are charged to write the new constitution; who apparently are seeking to
constitute the laws depending on their personal orientation – exactly like the
old regime.
