Trials and tribulation

This is not good,

My parents and 3 siblings are in Egypt at the moment, amidst all the riots, gunshooting, prison breaks, and rallying! May Allah's protection be upon them, for He is the Best Protector.

A part of me feels sorry for them, because they've spent a fortune to travel and do all sorts of touristy stuff, but ended up in curfew and in danger.

Another part is relieved that they are still safe, unharmed and together. (better than being alone)

Also I am torn between feeling angry and supportive towards the people of Egypt. Angry because they are causing unwarranted danger for all the innocent tourists, and the women and children. They've not think of a better, easier, nicer, more diplomatic way if negotiating their freedom (btw, they should have started from having meetings/ talks/ etc etc with their President). Not straight into this mess.

Supportive because .. it's good for them to want something else for their life. Something better. Perhaps, it's the means that they should have thought thru a bit better. We are human beings after all. Gifted with brains and vocabs and literature to converse with each other in peace. Use them well before it's too late.

Til then, the rest of my family members are rooted to Aljazeera as never before. lol.

I am praying for their safety and strenght. May Allah be with them, and give them courage, protection, and wisdom. At times like this, I feel blessed we live in a peaceful country.
