lately i've been too tired to do anything (or in other words just lazy) to the point that i didnt feel like shaving my beard...so i just let it grow n grow..but now that i've started back on my routine i decided to let the beard stay for a while longer.
i have to admit that having a beard has somewhat changed the way people act around me..for instance when in the gym the other guys actually ASK if am using the machine instead of just cutting in...also, a number of older men who usually dont look at me actually come up to me and say "salam 3alaikom" and some actually start small talk...so i have to ask, is it just me or do people in general give more respect to a man with a beard??
another situation i was put in happened today...am taking an advanced week long coarse in my field, this workshop starts from 5-8:30 or for those who dont know starts before 9alat el magharb and ends after 9alat el 3isha..so if anyone doesnt want to miss el magharb we had to pray over there..so we go into the designated prayer room and there we were 10 or 11 guys mostly twice my age standing there and one of the guys starts to eqeem el 9alaat..when he was done we all stood there, i was looking for the person who was gonna be the emaam when all of the sudden the guy on my right and the guy on my left simultaneously grab my hand and push me forward and say "yala 9al feena"!!!!!
i was like
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" "MINOOOOOOO" "ANAAAAA"
so there i was standing in the middle and everyone was standing in a straight line looking at me, so i turn around and slowly walk up to the emaams sijada (heart racing) mino egoool matiwahagt! so i look back and try to remember what emaams do, so i stand and say loudly "ESTAWOOOO W'ESTAQEEEMOOO" loooool...
so kabart and i started praying and everyonce in a while i peek behind just to make sure these guys are actually following me :P la ohwa 3gaaal ma6aaaa7, ehya qitra mazligaat lol
anyways, i guess responsibility comes with the beard ;p

either you have a beard or if you happen to be the only kuwaiti you get selected by default to lead the prayer! it happened to me few times.. its a nice feeling i must say to be emam..
As we live in a hypocritical society where looks matter the most, it has come to my attention that the longer your beard, the more respect you have from the society.
With a long beard comes respect, money, and power.
loool!
