Sweet Oblivion

In Bits & pieces on October 23, 2005 at 5:50 am


I have been approached via email concerning Samara. Some wanted proof of its existence and I bet some denied that I, by custom and not by choice, belong to it.

I found the content of the email rather amusing. Because I humored the notion that perhaps Samara does not really exist. Maybe I imagined it all and I wrote of this fabrication to entertain a group of anonymous and semi-anonymous readers.
After thinking of that I followed to a former time of my life when I doubted the existence of anything and everything.

I once played with the thought that if I am limited in my perception, if I know only what I can receive through the incomplete faculties of the senses and if every individual hosts a different version of what lies around us then, nothing really exists. Each imagines the world in his/her own way.
I never really spoke of that to anyone, I put it to test and I discovered that it is simply too “extreme”, I should say.

For the dubious out there I post a picture of a road sign that salutes one when one first enters Samara. If that does not convince you then I advise you head to the south of the kingdom, find Karak then look for Samara. And if you embrace my former skepticism then I do not think you would voice it.

  1. meh, the picture is “photoshopped”

  2. JAMEED!!! you need “Google Earth Plus” to see Samara
    or go and see this one Samra’, Jordan Page

  3. Samara is online, now that’s good news!
    Thank you Black Cats for sharing that link with us, I visited it.

  4. In arabic, its Sam-ra, where in english its Sa-ma-ra, maybe that confused some people, who wouldnt belive you Tololy…

  5. I’m guilty of not being to Karak!!
    Like I really really wanna go there…I just love natural and authentic people! There u’ll see people proud of their heritage!!LOOOL “?????? ??? ??????”

    I think Jameed was sarcastic, as some may not know, Jameed is Karaki, I think?!CAn’t u see his “Fyoozato DArbeh??”

  6. I wish to clear matters once and for all. Samara is pronounced in Arabic as it sounds in English. In other words : ???? ?????

    I can not say I have ever heard the name being pronounced in any other way and, trust me on this one, my forefathers and current family on the parental side are all true Samarians.

    If any are still dubious, or a bit obstiante in this case, then I can help them no more. I rest my case.

  7. I am impressed and admit my ignorance To Black Cats on what you said about “Google Earth Plus” to see Samara…it is magic ,thanks for enlightening me ,live and learn I owe you black cats !!same for the box owner
