how to know if ur an arab

** You ask your dad a simple question and he tells you a story of how he had to walk miles just to get to school.
**Your parents were ranked first in school.
**Your dad swears at you with words that affect himself (Ibnil kalb)
** You tell everyone that you are a successful businessman back home" when you are really just an unemployed goat herder.
**You feel uncomfortable saying the word 'tease' in English.
**If you are 25 and not married yet, word gets out that ur an old maid.
**Your relatives alone could populate a small city.
**Everyone is a family friend.
** You hide everything from your parents, but they still think they know everything about you, and make you believe that they actually do.
**People are never happy with what you've achieve; if you Graduated from school they'll tell you "Oqbal el Shahadeh el kbeereh", and when u get that "Oqbal el Aroos or Areees", and when you get that "Oqbal ma nefrah be Aoulad-kum", and when you get that "Oqbal ma tefrahu bi shahadit-hum", etc...
**When shops have sales they call your mom.

Emily Brontë was a Genius
This is EXACTLY how i feel right now...
XXXVIII
ONE blessing had I, than the rest
So larger to my eyes
That I stopped gauging, satisfied,
For this enchanted size.
It was the limit of my dream, 5
The focus of my prayer,—
A perfect, paralyzing bliss
Contented as despair.
I knew no more of want or cold,
Phantasms both become, 10
For this new value in the soul,
Supremest earthly sum.
The heaven below the heaven above
Obscured with ruddier hue.
Life’s latitude leant over-full; 15
The judgment perished, too.
Why joys so scantily disburse,
Why Paradise defer,
Why floods are served to us in bowls,—
I speculate no more. 20
Emily Brontë
