Shock Story-Personal Reflective #3

In the last Eid of October in 2012 ,my cousins and I went to Dubai to have a good time with each other in Wild Wadi the water park. After having a fun time we planed to have a dinner after long day in the JPR (The Walk) at Jumeirah Beach Residence. Dubai at AlEid days was very traffic because the people from every where are coming to Dubai specially from Middle East. Before we been in JPR (The Walk), we got an accident with Emirati guy who was trying to move his car front us to be with his group of friends. After the accident immediately we parked on the right waiting the police, the Emirati was very angry, also he was filthy tongue using many bad words for us, on the other hand we talked to him oppositely, and I think that what made him more angry. But the important part here when he said a few things that injured us and made us like nothing, he said :( We are the sons of the country). We did not understand what does he mean in the first time, but when he said in the second time:(Dubai is our city) he putted a lot of thoughts in our brains, and I said in my self: Are there citizens who live in Dubai thinking like the angry guy? Are there citizens in the other Emirates thinking like that? Are we thinking like that? Are there solutions that make us one hand?

Seven Emirates But One Country

(Like that we should think)
