Mafia Posted March 26, 2005 You are all familiar with the Somali saying, "ninkaan waxa soo socda garan, waxa joogana magarto". The essence of it, I believe, is to plan ahead & understand the consequences of your decision. With that in mind, I'm curious to hear where threaders are considering to live in the future: 1)Xamar Caddey/Somalia 2)Somewhere in East AFrica 3)Qurbaha 4)Retire and move to Florida 5)Depends on.....

Mafia Posted March 26, 2005 My childhood fantasy has always been living in a big mansion somewhere in the States or Europe. However, living in the States for a while, I now completely lost appetite for that fantasy. The so-called American Dream represents a tasteless life for me in this hemisphere. You drive an SUV and own a big house, so what: Social life, trivial; family time, nonexistent; quality life, rare. Is any body in this boat, with me?

N.O.R.F Posted April 15, 2005 It pretty much depend on developments back home. A safe and stable country will see the influx of those who have been away. They will in turn contribute to a prosporous economy and 'really' be at home. Hope it happens sooner rather than later IA As for now, planning is a fundamental part of ones life. Planning to catch a bus to get to school/work, planning on moving away from home, planning on settling down, planning on getting a job etc etc. as long as one is happy (or content) where ever they are then thats all that 'really' counts.

Animal Farm Posted May 8, 2005 I would love to be living in Somalia, but lets face it - that’s not looking like an option at the moment. So I would rather be a global citizen, a citizen of Nowherian [Pico Iyer - The Global Soul] We are nomads, we call everywhere home, the earth is our home. I’m conditioning myself to be at home wherever I might be. Currently learning to be an anarchist - to temporarily make Somalia a home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mafia Posted May 9, 2005 So I would rather be a global citizen, a citizen of Nowherian [Pico Iyer - The Global Soul] A. Farm, I think, more or less that is a fact. For me, futuristically speaking, it isn't so much on what happened within in the past decade, but the rough path that is being dug by our leaders-all of them-for us. Besides, we are active people, but not really civ-inclined & development-oriented society. That is what we need to become Global Citizens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
