المجتمع الذي ينتقد نسبة الطلاق فيه ثم يصر على عدم إتاحة مدة و مساحة للصداقة و التعارف قبل الزواج ، هو مجتمع يتنافق مع نفسه.
المجتمع الذي ينتقد ضرر الأطفال من الطلاق، ثم يصر على عدم استساغة الصداقة ما بين الزوجين المطلقين هو مجتمع يأكل أطفاله.
A society that criticizes its rate of divorce, while it doesn’t allow for space and time for friendship and intimacy before marriage, is a hypocrite society.
A society that criticizes the harm inflicted on children after divorce, while insisting on the inappropriateness of friendship between ex’s is a society that devours its children.

120,000 Egyptian peasants died during the digging of Suez canal. They were forced to work. All that for 15% of the net profit afterwards to Egypt granted by France.
But then Britain occupied Egypt in 1882 and took it for free, till Abdulnasser nationalization in 1956.
The Suez Canal is Egypt’s modern Pyramids. It is a symbol of oppression and slavery.

George Orwell transformed into a writer because of his travels to Burma and the injustices he saw. He wrote “Down and Out in Paris and London” and “The Road to Wigan Pier”.
He travelled to Spain, it caused him to write 1984 and Animal Farm.
When Che Guevara travelled through South America, he transformed into a leftist revolutionary. He wrote The Motorcycle Diaries during his travels.
When Siddhartha Gautama travelled, he saw suffering and he transformed into Buddha.
When Malcom X went to Hajj he transformed into Brother Malik and lost his anti-white rhetoric and left Nation of Islam.
Travel …. transform.

“Suspending judgement of emotions allows them to run their course and vanish”
“Rather than avoiding a feeling, your goal should be to move toward the emotion, into it, and eventually through it”.
“The biggest challenge to developing self-awareness is objectivity”.

Vacation is hospice for healthy people.
I don’t believe in vacations. I believe in rejuvenating retreat.
I believe deep work trips.
I believe in conquest.
I believe in adventurous exploration.
