inside - the experience of chatting with around 50 person around the world from different culture and believes but one way of talking and understanding and most of all is to feel that we belong for the same planet 'cause countries doesn't matter in any subject we were discussing , and that's it.
outside - I was affected from the people killed and being killed every day in the south of Lebanon, specially that they are innocent and they got nothing to do with this international conflict that still using our country to play a game of power and domination...
future - I see life 100 years totally automated, I have nothing against technology and science but I am afraid that the day will come were we'll try to find a place or a tree to lay our head under her shade thinking of nothing but of the moment of tranquillity we'll be having, so simply I don't believe we'll have much space for tranquillity 100 years from now so we'll be living like robots, totally automated surrounded by inhuman interfaces telling us where to go and what to do and a lot more... no romance no spontaneous act no creation nothing but sophisticated technology .
