Is Sharm Reality?
Some say Sharm is harsh place to live in and others say Sharm is the best school of life while others state Sharm is an amazing place to be in.
But what in all honesty is the reality of Sharm? Do you think living in Sharm is like living in the real world or is it like living in a bubble that cuts you off from reality? Are we just living in a world of fantasy? Or does Sharm differ from if you are a guest here on a holiday or if you are a resident living here? Very much so, as on holiday life may seem all hunky dory as you just get to visit all the fun places and holiday hot spots, whereas living here you have to deal with it on a day to day basis and you sure do see it all.
“I consider Sharm the best get-away, I love coming down here where no one knows me and I can really relax.” – Stated Anna, a local resident.
“I can just forget about everything here, it is really so different from the rest of Egypt, I feel as if I’m abroad in a way.” – Said Pete, a local diver.
“Sharm is a beautiful place and for some people it is heaven, but others may call it suffering and just getting through the day.” – Observed Claire, a mother of two.
“It is hard living in Sharm as its not everyone’s cup of tea, but you come to a point where you get attached to the place and just can’t bring yourself to leave.” – Declared Sally, an old time Sharmer.
In fact, living in Sharm can be quite strenuous at times; a real eye opener, as it is a mix of so many cultures and in a way Sharm is like a fish bowl where, all the fish are viscously swimming around trying to get the most out of the space and oxygen, when all they are doing is using all the oxygen and cramping all the space. And can only see the outside world through glass and sometimes behind the scenes things aren’t always as they seem.
So, is it the perfect place it appears to be to the holiday makers or is it
Well, Sharmers now that you have been living here for a period of time what do YOU think the reality of Sharm really is?

Homeopathy In Sharm
When you visit the doctor, he will ask you what is wrong. "My foot hurts," you might say, and the doctor will lift the foot and look at it from all angles.
He has seen this before. Within 15 minutes, he will learn all of the details he needs to make a diagnosis. He will write on a pad, hand you a slip of paper, and you will hobble out the door. This is how medicine is done, right?
Why is it then, that for the same complaint, a homeopath will require that you sit in her office for at least an hour? Why will she ask you about your childhood, your dreams, your preferences for food, and so on?

Do You Believe In The Evil Eye?
Hello Muriel, Do you believe in the evil eye? Thanks, Mona
Dear Mona,
I don’t think it is about belief; it is more about respect and acceptance for other people’s beliefs. It is not about my opinion either as opinions become diluted with age.
The ‘Evil Eye’ is believed by many cultures to be able to cause bad luck or injury on the person to whom it is directed.
The concept and significance of it varies widely between cultures, but for me the psychodynamics are of ‘envy.’
It has been mentioned several times in the Bible and is also mentioned in the Koran.
