My new name

The long-awaited and dreaded date of Friday, 11/11/2011 is all but a memory today. We are still here, the world is the same.  Just like it was on 11 /11/1, in the year of Jesus’s birth (PBUH), or on the same date in year 111, or 1111 and even 2011.

In my view, this is a fantasy, created by idle minds. Every so often there’s an 11/11 and no end of the world. Every so often there’s a 12/12 or a 9/9 and no big news.   If you see a black cat in the middle of the road, there’s a demon. If you wake up and look outside at the garden and you see a black bird, there’s another demon.

When you buy a house, it most certainly won’t be number 13, because it might be haunted. Some “banana” airlines remove the seat number 13 from both sides of the plane. It would be funny if you could somehow jump through thin air from seat 12 to seat 14, don’t you think?! Even in elevators, in some buildings, if you are going to the 13th floor, you will find it doesn’t exist. Who knows, maybe the elevator travels through void to reach the 14th floor!

I’m not sure you knew that Friday the 13th is the day of the devil and therefore we must all stop inside and not go to work, lest something happens!

I believe that we must put all this aside and get on with the job of being human beings. If God wanted a special day (11/11/11), let it up to HIM to announce and up to us to follow.  Please save your time, energy and money by looking forward with objectivity at how you can save others, less fortunate.


On this occasion, I would like to inaugurate my new name:
