And it always change situations. Holes may penetrate many fortified and strong entities and societies while heedless, they become weak, and they think that they are still enjoying their strength. The greater the penetration, the greater the weakness of these entities, and the holes were able to tighten control over all parts that were considered impenetrable. There is no doubt that weakness is an inevitable result of the lack of synergy and cohesion between the elements of those entities, which makes them lose their strength and solidity, and thus it becomes easy to dismantle and eliminate them.

And if we look at the societies around us, we find that hateful holes spread among their members in one way or another, as they are capable of penetrating the hearts and social fabric of human beings. It pierces the bonds of affection, mercy, kinship, friendship and neighborliness that bring together members of society. This weakens their resolve and strength, and turns the bond between them into fragile relationships that are liable to perish and fade away.

Asma'a

This book explores how chance encounters can unexpectedly resurface and alter our destinies. We cross paths with someone, separate, and assume it a fleeting meeting. Yet fate has other plans – bringing us back together again so that, in time, dreams, love, and hope may blossom fully between us. But just as unexpectedly, everything can come crashing down.

Through one such encounter, this narrative teaches profound lessons about disappointment, loneliness even in a crowd, and the perplexing nearness yet farness of getting all we want, save what we most desire. We learn that estrangement stems less from distance than the absence of a loved one beside us. The warmth of family in childhood, once lost, can never be reclaimed.

Life’s path holds no assurances of comfort or safety. Our parents, the shield protecting us in innocence, leave us bereft in adulthood – forcing us to forge our own protections against callous winds. And our poor choices yield consequences, no matter how hard we try dodging them. We must find strength within, not in expectations of others. For in the end, our happiness rests inside us alone.

Through eloquent prose emerges the bittersweet truth: people may unexpectedly shape our destinies, but destiny lies not in others, but within ourselves.

Swings

While you move between these different streams of life, a dream may urge you forward and quench your thirst, it could be while you’re asleep, or while you’re awake, and it could be very soon, as it happened with a friend of mine. That’s when you will bend your knees in surrender over and over, and you will rise taller and taller until you reach God Almighty’s highest heavens, and you will be afflicted with hunger for cheerfulness and joy. You will cry and laugh, fly and fall, and you will die, and you will live.

She is the waves of life throwing me right and left, like the dream of that friend of mine, until I met her, and the dream developed a different dimension and a unique color.

While she was the wiser party, wiser than necessary, I went crazy over her even more, this is what I used to tell her, and she would answer me: Rather you should get rid of your barbarism and depravity.

All this happened before the same deceptive waves took turns on me, and then threw me in several darknesses, and with that darkness my thoughts, my mind and all of me was talking to my beloved friend, my brother, who’s absent yet present.
