We, Afghans Need to Be Optimistic!

A sentence which makes me hopeful is being positive. I hear this sentence from my mother, teacher and friends who always work for a change. Some times, I think, the Taliban/radical Muslims will never stop  killing innocent people or violence against women will never be finished in my traditional society but, I tried to be positive that, yes, Taliban will be defeated by those Afghans who have had the worst experience from Taliban regime and also humanity has worth for them. The women will get their freedom and rights, they will break the silence and raise their voice to end the injustice and violence against them.

These days, I see the braveness of Afghan armies who fight with Taliban tirelessly to protect their people and motherland. Afghan women have found the courage to defend themselves and be themselves that I have seen many arguments and discussions between women and men everywhere, in the bus, on the street, offices and universities which make me hopeful for a different bright future. 

Let's be positive for a bright future that women and men can only think about improvement of Afghanistan and help each other to make it happen. Let's start form now, change ourselves to positive and hopeful Afghans who will be the pioneers to remove the wrong traditions from Afghanistan and respect each other as humans!
