ـ "... إن فى الإنسان منطقة عجيبة سحيقة لا تصل إليها الفضيلة ولا الرذيلة ، ولا تشع فيها شمس العقل والإرادة ، ولا ينطق لسان المنطق ، ولا تطاع القوانين والأوضاع ، ولا تتداول فيها لغة أو تستخدم كلمة ... إنما هى مملكة نائية عن عالم الألفاظ والمعاني ... كل مافيها شفاف هفاف يأتي بالأعاجيب فى طرفة عين ... يكفي أن ترن فى أرجائها نبرة ، أو تبرق لمحة ، أو ينشر شذا عطر ، حتى يتصاعد من أعماقها فى لحظة من الإحساسات والصور والذكريات ، ما يهز كياننا ويفتح نفوسنا على أشياء لا قبل لنا بوصفها ، ولا بتجسيدها ، ولو لجأ إلى أدق العبارات و أبرع اللغات ... " ـ

توفيق الحكيم

Within man lies a deep wondrous spot, to which neither virtue nor vice can reach. Upon which the sun of reason and will never rise. In which the mouth of logic never speaks, the laws and rules are never obeyed, and not a language is used nor a word is ever spoken.
It is a distant Kingdom, beyond words and meanings. With everything is a sheer murmur offering wonders in a blink. From the depths of which, suffice a single tone or a flash of mind or a scent of a perfum, to allow rise of emotions, pictures and memories, a rising that will shake our being and open ourselves to things we can neither describe nor materialize even if we used the most refined of phrases or the most skillful of languages.

Tawfiq Al-Hakim.

Merci

Sometimes throughout our lives, and for whatever reasons, we stop fighting ... we just stop... we give up and find ourselves a cave ... look for the darkest corner ... and disappear ... hide from all the world ... and maybe try to hide from ourselves if we're really knocked-out.
Usually most of the people that we know won't care much for this disappearance, they'll think to themselves " Oh, what the hell, who cares where's he/she or what had happened, i didn't do anything to him/her so he/she can go to hell ...........bla bla bla....". That's ... at the most, some people won't even notice that we're not there !.
Except for the friends, REAL Friends, they'll miss you, they'll wonder what had happened to you ?, wish that you're fine, they'll wonder asking themselves if they ever did something to upset or hurt you, they'll wait for you...... Yet they'll NEVER blame you, hate you or leave you. They'll seek you and reach for you, asking no questions and demanding no justifications, they'll just try to help you ... to put you back on track.

CHERE Dolly, C'est a toi, je te remercie, vraiment.

And where can I get me one of these " REAL friends" ??
in a utopia I presume.

No such thing as Real friend .. he/she won't be "REAL" once a conflict of interest occurs and he won't be even a friend once a second conflict happens

والا مكانش "الخل الوفى" احد المستحيلات
ولا انتى شايفة ايه ؟

:)) Believe it or not, i have 3 of them :))
I think the only "conflict of interests" might happen if i and her married the same man, but that's impossible anyway :)then again , ممكن نتفق عليه
Let me tell you how she became my friend ,and u judge if she's Real or not.
ًWe became colleagues for merely 3 months, just like another Real friend, 8 years ago, in different departments, then she left to another job, and we still have this contact, we enjoy being with each other, and we cherish knowing each other. With no interest what so ever except in being a good friend.
And She did exactly what i've described in the post. Isn't that a Real friend !! :)

خليك متفائل يا أخى :)

To 3um, I don’t know you …so of course I can not judge you but maybe you are one of the persons who are not enough lucky in this life especially in what is concerning REAL friends. Real friends exist, I do have 4 ..one of them is mmm…maybe I can not see her for months, but deep inside I know that whenever she needs me or I felt she is not okay…I ‘ll run to her and I m sure it’s the same for her… I’m enjoying her friendship, our good moments as the moments of sadness that we are passing through sometimes…. So wish you in this New Year a good luck to find your Real friend
