It has been a long time since we felt optimistic. Last night I received a notification from face book telling me that my little sister has written note on my page. I logged on and I viewed the massage which she left on my board. She wrote “bro, I feel that a good things coming on your way”. That was an optimistic sentence which let me think for a while. Next day I called her to ask what she meant, she answered; “Bro, I’m optimistic and I feel the same for you”. I thanked her and I hanged up and I stood still for a while …!

I asked myself what has happened between day and night that my little sister starting talking about optimism and she is not the only one who is sharing that but there are a lot of people who’s sharing this feeling of optimism. I feel it as well with a huge load of proud and dignity, but the question remains what has happened for this people to feel optimistic once again?
The answer is not laying far away from what has happened in Tunisia and Egypt. The people of the Arabic world have seen the changing happing in the two countries. They saw how the people of these great nations controlled their fear and over winning that disease which called bread. The Arabs in Tunisia and Egypt have found another source of food to satisfy their hanger. They found their freedom, the food of the soul and liberty of the mind. They could reach the top of the humanity by listening to their free souls which lead them at the end to over win their fear, the fear that made their lives a hell for the last 3 decades. Over winning your fear and listening to the voice of your free soul is the formula to gain the freedom what you deserve. Breathing freedom make us feel optimistic because we were/are free people, we were born free and we will remain free.

When Ben Ali left Tunisia running away from the free nation, there was a video in the news for a Tunisian man walking in the street of Tunis the capital chanting the freedom of the Tunisian and declaring the escape of Ben Ali. The man appears on the video with all his emotions and feelings shouting for the freedom alone in the street. That real scene of that ordinary man made me cry. Each time I see this clip on you tube makes my tears falling down. This man has said everything. He called everything what any simple Arab citizen wants … freedom!

When I see that our world is changing and when I see that my people are chanting their freedom and gaining their lives back, then I can imagine that these brave Arabs have let optimism grow once again in our imagination and inside our souls. Because of that we are feeling optimistic and we are not afraid no more …
God bless you my people in Tunisia and Egypt and I wish that the others will follow … Amen
