Was it a wrong decision?

Was it a wrong decision? Why do I insist on doing something of value, something useful ??? why didn't I stay in Egypt, get married, have kids and do anything for a living ??? Why did I put myself in this dilemma ??? Is it worth it ???

God, please help ....

So what exactly is the dilemma?

Thanks Mohamed for the comment. Well, you can say it was a moment of depression when I came out with these words. Maybe you know such moments yourself, since you are also abroad. Leaving home, family and friends, living alone for a long time (4 years now) with the faint hope of doing something that might be of value one day is not easy. And when one faces troubles, then it can get on your nerves. I'm doing a Ph.D. in Germany, and it was my decision to leave (I am not funded by the Egyptian government), and, as usual, u face lots of problems. At that point one just questions his decision for a while, whether it was right or wrong, and whether it is worth the trouble or staying in Egypt with my parents, getting married and having children would have been the right choice.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I've been, and still, there. Even though we're in different places and our experiences are different, those feelings seem to be common. I wonder a lot whether my leaving Egypt was the best or the worse decision of my life!!! However I have to admit, despite all the depression and difficulties I had as an immigrant, I was unable to tolerate life in Egypt. I felt that i was suffering for nothing, or, even worse, suffering from a few thieves to enjoy the riches of our country!!

You are absolutely right. Rabena yegazy elly can el sabab!!

However, I guess we are about to see new faces in Egypt. Let's hope it'll be to the better this time. I'm dreaming of a day when truely loyal and faithful men come to rule Egypt. We can then return back home and our efforts would be fruitful, because there would be then ears to listen and minds to appreciatel. I hop we can return back so that our younger brothers and sisters can benefit from what we learned and experienced. Let's hope this day will come soon
