Politics

Well, one of our problem in Egypt, that everybody is speaking about different topics like; politics, sports, problems of the country, even problems of other countries, wars in mid-east and others, and similar topics, as if the whole nation are 70M presidents, 70M FMs, 70M football managers, 70M army generals, 70M leaders. God has created this nation out of brilliant people who knows.....not just knows, but they are "professionals" in every aspect that they start thinking about different strategies in all aspects, and this is exactly is the country's problem!! I mean of course it is good to have people who are aware about the country politics and other things, but when people sitting in cafes or 2ahwas who start speaking in such way, that you feel like turning to one of them and asking about how their son is doing, or how they are managing their houses, or even if they have a financial plan for saving......but you always feel that such people can not even do regular maintenance for their cars, can not raise their children in a proper way. They only "think" that they can manage the country, the region and the whole world!!

As any child in Egypt, I started talking about politics and government from an early age (may be 8 years old!!). BUT, after being myself in some situations that made me realise that most of what people say is just B**ls**t, I tried to look at points from a different angle than what almost 95% of Egyptians are looking from, and I discovered a different Egypt than what people see.

Anyway, I want to say that despite political systems are sophisticated as the proper ones are developed in a combination of the culture, traditions, and the ideologies of the nation. Meaning that a system that can work perfectly in a country, should not get success in another, but actually, it can be a terrific failure in other countries.
