We were used to the separation of powers.

We get into a habit to notice the bad things around us...

We have become used to seeing those images and they have become the norm in our Muslim society!!!

We used to say there is no place to breathe in this country.

We used to be reassured by the generalization that democratic countries seek peace.

Perhaps we made the mistake of becoming too lenient regarding security arrangements, which we were keen to focus on when we were living in the areas controlled by the regime.

Because certainly we have gotten used to the propaganda that the simple is the good. But I don't believe it.

It used to be said that when America sneezed, the rest of the world caught a cold.

Now we only have ourselves to blame.

Where does it end up? We're used to seeing the stuff on our plates, but what about all the stuff that goes missing in between?

We have become accustomed to seeing the destruction of Yemen.

And the result is kind of a tree of life of these viruses, a phylogeny that looks very much like the type of life that we're used to, at least on the viral level.

So what we see here is a system that lives in very much the way we're used to life going. But what the NASA people had asked me really was, Do these guys have a biosignature?

Tarek Shalaby then replied to him. He also in his tweet mocked the way we use the words fun and funny. tarekshalaby Some English words and how we use them FAANY, enta betetkallem gad walla bet2ool keda just for faany? tarekshalaby Some English words, and how we use them. Funny!

We have become accustomed to hearing about the families of prisoners, as if it were normal, in Assad's Syria, to be imprisoned, and those outside of prison or who consider themselves as such are the exception.

You know, we live in an age where we are so used to television images and photographs, a one hit image. These were big, complex things, almost like cartoons with multiple narratives.

And yet, we've been trained to squint into this legal microscope, hoping that we can judge any dispute against the standard of a perfect society, where everyone will agree what's fair, and where accidents will be extinct, risk will be no more.

We are used to looking at charts like that, and you see this red line showing the air temperature in June and July, and yes, that's right, it's picking up to 45 degrees C.

Anyone can talk about sectarian cheers, and make claims about the nature of the Syrian conflict, but, deep inside, I trust that this revolution pulled us all out of the thousands of shells we used to hide in.

So I'm highlighting just a few words and saying definitions like that rely on things that are not based on amino acids or leaves or anything that we are used to, but in fact on processes only.

The coming days will unveil the upcoming war, not necessarily a typical civil war which we are used to, but when RPGs, Snipers and bombs are used in a supposedly peaceful demonstration, then it is an ugly battle taking place to say the least.

We got used that the one who expresses what's inside school books is the one who obtains the highest grades, and not the one who expresses himself. So I wasn't accustomed to write and read topics that are not in the curriculum.

As has been our practice, we worked under the traditional rules of multilateral law making negotiation, that is, that all proposals remained on the table until withdrawn by their sponsors and that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed .

Joy was an act of heroism, a blunt challenge in the face of death, while here joy turns into loads of guilt and the unreal rumination of stories that used to matter with the same friends with whom we shared life on the edge of death. Today we moved into living denial on the edge of our homeland, the denial that we are actually out.
