Assalamo Alikom,
Sorry for writing in English. WOW! Nice article that caught my attention! I appreciate the idea of the kid who noticed the flame and informed his parents about it, and that was every thing he could do .. that was his limits, and yet it was the first step to rescue the trapped people in the building! Every one has a role and a responsibility.. Good point
I, however, disagree with Wael when he said
“ وإن كانت أول خطوات البحث عن البديل هي إيقاف العبث؛ فإن الخطوة الثانية هي التفكير الجاد في التحول لبديل جديد فعال، وهذا التفكير لن يتم عادة إلا إذا فكر العقل في مناخ صحي بعيداً عن أسر مشروعه الأول الذي سبب له المتاعب، وعبر جهات استشارية محايدة ليست متعصبة للمشروع، جهة لن تعتقل الطفل الصغير في غرفة تتوعده بنظرات الريبة قائلة له: “لقد رأيت الدخان…واكتفيت بالصراخ… إذن قدم البديل … ما الحل؟“، فهي مؤسسات منحازة إلى مستقبل المجتمع وعنصر الإنسان، واستثمار جهده في أعمال نافعة ومسارات واضحة، وحينها لن يعدم الصادقون في البحث بديلاً."
Wael clearly states that a solution or an alternative should come from external consultant groups who would admire the child and knows more about the future .. etc. Changes must come from inside Wael! You may hire consultants and get professional advice but if you do not have a sincere intention to change, you will NOT. The first thing you should do – as in the article – is to stop the frivolity or the dilatoriness! The second step is not to hire a consultant; it is to own a sincere intention to find a solution or a serious alternative. Then, you may hire a consultant or think about it your self!
The example that Mohammed Mostafa mentioned in his reply is a different point of view. Although those people are thankful for their efforts to put off the fire that is out of their ability, they may need to look around and see how professional fire fighters do their job. They may find a better way to rescue the building and the people inside. The fire is eating every thing and they are not able to put it off by the tools and the resources they have; why they do not stop and think of a better way, why they do not continue what they do but - on the same time - form a team to find alternatives and to enhance their performance. Mohammed Mostafa, at least you agree that those people cannot put off the fire by the tools they are using and the limit resources they are having!
What makes things even worse is that sometimes a child offers an advice but he gets ignored! Sometimes you can do nothing but making Dua’a!
