stories from jordan
inside - The unfaithfulness of some freinds when it comes to money
matters...old
freinds I have no problems with but many new freinds take do not share the
honesty of old freinds...
outside - The uprising of the people in the south of Jordan when the
price of bread was raised this summer.
All market plunged down and I had to borrow money to keep my promisses to my
creditors.
future - Ohhh....it is going to be hell...If now things are bad...how in
it is going 100 years from now.. The officials know it is bad but no body is doing
anything to correct the situation in the Country(Jordan).

inside - Nothing special has happened. Life is normal these days.
outside - In december 1996 world TVs focused on the Rowandan refugees
and their plight. It has become completely normanl that we watch every night on TV
children and old men and women dying of hunger and exhustion. These events have
affected me most in recent days. I wonder if we realy thing that as humans we
are equal. If yes what we do and can do to releave the mesery of the week and
obresed, such as the Rowandan refugees.
future - If life contiues for another century many things could happen
that will change our lives. Man will depend on machines for many things.
Microprocessors (PC) may dominate our lives and become the means of comunication.
Therefore, relations between people and families will probably be through vertual
reality. Man will become more independant and family fabric may wear away. Let alone
if genetic engineering gets envloved in determining the color of the eyes of
would be born babies.
