Philosophy

My brother Mohammed told me something once, in a conversation I barely remember the reason for. my mother was there. he said our father used to say:

إذا هبّت رياحك فأغتنمها، فعقبى كل خافقة سكون

I used to lament having no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

When I was a kid, my elder brother Mohammed used to work in many charity organizations . I used to be part of many of the events these charities were about. I saw the suffering of kids who were at the same age as me, many of whom had no father, no mother, no home to return to.
