Жизнью можно только дорожить, т.к. мир ждёт твоего созидания. От него же можно утомиться. А за что же Вы к ней, так снисходительны: люблю и ценю. Вы её, своим утомлением! Чтобы она устала от Вас, и сказала: "ХВАТИТ!" ( )
Не,, догнал,, мысль- значит согрелся
Если с нами, то это нормально! Мы не расстраиваемся!
Но если крутиться вокруг нас, то срочно, как того требуют правила... надо закусить!!!
В том - то и весь "прикол",что грандиозные планы намечаются только в одной жизни! Вторая жизнь... внеплановая, в ней только удовлетворение и покой!
Как-то пространно, как расстояние от Москвы до Кассиопеи!
Может поясните ? Не могу "догнать" мысль!
бидончик чая и томик лермонтова...пуховый плед-ну что ещё от жизни надо....
thank you for this big attention, around what you say "it is far away and nobody fed the information to people from a silver dish with a golden spoon.
It is unfortunately true that we live in a consumer society" well No one fed me the info from silver dish and golden spoon and i never use to take the info i need from even regular dish, Lizzy nice from you to defence and nice from you to pay attention this much for my blog, but i would say ( racism leak under Arab Civilizations and Petra was small Example) if i wana add more prove to my blog about the Racism that America and Europe act at Arab Civilization i will not finish, better to set next to me and dont step front of me.
Peace
I've been thinking about this, and here's a thought..
In my previous comments I tried to maintain the thought that the general ignorance of Petra is not due to racism but just because it is far away and nobody fed the information to people from a silver dish with a golden spoon.
It is unfortunately true that we live in a consumer society, so anything's, even a complete rubbish, that is marketed heavily will sell well. If you convince people that they need to hear that popsinger or wear that fashion, they will do it. Meanwhile many more useful things fall to ignorance simply because people don't have information about them.
The same thing can be used with Petra. For example, everybody knows about the Pyramids in Egypt. But actually all the tourist has seen is just a very old heap of stones. However, there's the whole legendarium that comes with it that makes it special. There's legends about pharaohs, stories of explorers, constant scientist discoveries, speculations about how it was made so long ago and so on and so forth. The Pyramids of Egypt are so popular simply because they are so well known, they are heavily promoted everywhere you go, they are extremely recognisable besides being easily accessible and the whole tourism structure revolving about it.
Why the same thing couldn't be used in Jordan? There must be many amazing stories about it. Dry history facts are not digestable, you need to make those stories amazing, exciting, mysterious, attract the imagination. You need to promote the image of Petra everywhere. And I don't mean in books like "1001 places you need to see before you die", somewhere in page 237. That will only convince die-hard travellers. It must be made popular, recognisable, imprinted on everybody's mind. Don't expect the mountain to come to you, go and reach out to the mountain (which is the general public). And of course, Jordan would need to think how to make the tourism sustainable. Because from what I have heard, the tourists currently make more damage to this rather fragile site than bring profit.
And to conclude, well... if you say "if you haven't heard about Petra then you're a racist". It's like as if a shopkeeper would say to you "if you don't buy my vegetables, then your mother is a pig". Would you want to buy from such a shopkeeper? Pity the ignorant, but don't abuse them, rather teach them.
Peace with you :)
I was not there to publish my CV, but just to show the difference that is between people in the same classroom that either use their time for gaining the facts about our earth or rather take to wasting their time with more "interesting" but sadly less informative activities. My whole point was that it is not racism but just a sad result (of individual choice) of not paying attention to anything (whether it would be the existence of Petra or who is the president of his own country).
