Constructing a Life...


I was searching the internet when a picture of a tower that is under construction popped up with a title saying "Buy Apartment in Dubai", the picture was for a tower that is more than 30 stories surrounded by cranes and it’s still under construction, I lift my eyebrows and looked clearly at that building and it looked very familiar to me until I realized that I was living last year opposite to that tower when they were constructing the 10th floor, and it was shocking to see it almost done.


Technology, is meant to help people who is living on this earth to make their life easier by getting things done efficiently, cutting down time and cost, but I never thought that it would take a year to construct a 30 stories tower! Is it the Technology? Or the money that buys it? So if a person has a huge bank account; can he use the technology to make his things go easy and efficiently? Well can he construct a Life?


Being an Interior Design Engineer requires me to visit Construction Sites which definitely taught me that it has always been a matter of Time, Cost, and Quality when you have to get things done, and you can’t gain all of them, as well as in any thing you do in your life you will have to fall in this Triangle, like when you are in a rush of having a job, when you move to another country, or when you are trying to date Eva Mendes.


Since I have moved from Dubai to Sweden I realized that when it comes about constructing a tower it's definitely easier than constructing your own life, I mean you would calculate how much cement and sand you need, how many workers it will take, and what tools to use, knowing that any mistake "In most of the cases" Money will solve it, but in making a life money can't always cover errors, can't buy you love or friendship, and can't buy feelings for the desperate millionaire.


Having friends, Meet the right girl, having a decent job, something looks like a good life, is it really hard to accomplish in Sweden? Is it really difficult to have a good friend here? Is it difficult to construct a life in Sweden?


Few weeks ago, I met a person through a friend in a bar, well, before the night starts and tossing up glasses, he was totally sober and respectful, so he started explaining to me why Sweden is NOT like any other place in the world when it comes to having friends and dating, he summed it up in few words “We are not open to other races and cultures”, I saw that angle he is speaking from but I couldn’t find a proper reason for it, or such an explanation that will convince me, well I am concerned about life and relationships, and I like to be surrounded with many friends who really you can enjoy with, and I think most of the people want that, or at least what I read from discussion board in www.thelocal.se, where people complain of not finding themselves in Sweden, and having the Cost, but Not the Time or Quality…
