An important, yet saddening, aspect and experience in life is the death of a family member or a friend. A truly shattering experience that could strike any human’s emotional core. Depression, hopelessness, defeat and loneliness are one of the few initiating responses that we feel when a person who we truly care for dissolves to the unknown. Our ability to love is one of mankind’s greatest inheritance that comes with its own philosophy. It is a gift and it is a curse but it is also one of life’s elemental pillars. After all, we are the poignant creation of… Read More

So we continue the faded trail of supreme curiosity. The deflowering of such a paradigm can be considered as the degradation of a ghost’s silhouette, but of course ghosts do not exist and so how does one reveal the soul of a spectre? Now the invisible superpowers have done a terrific job by surrounding their very existence with nothing but uncertain and expressively confusing emanation; an intentional self-defensive mechanism to shield their true identity and something even worse: their intentions. Powered by money and greed they have aggressively proliferated… Read More

Fifty years ago, if a man would walk in the streets wearing a shirt and jeans, he’d get awkward looks from people in the neighborhood. In Kuwait, the Dishdasha was the only suitable clothing for a man, and with time, the society started adapting new traditions as it engaged more with the rest of the world. The traditional clothing, Dishdasha for men and Abaya for women is now optional choices. Just as this concept of clothing was changed in the eyes of our society, so did other things… Read More

There are barriers between us and the better us. Some of these barriers require a massive will to break them, and some of these barriers are really thin, yet they still stand unbreakable. When we are physically sick, we can reach the better us by going to a physician easily, but when we are psychologically sick –which is usually more dangerous–, it is way too embarrassing to get better by visiting a psychologist. Thus, we remain sick. .… Read More

The perception that you perceive of the global culture is only an illusion employed by devious trickery. Look beyond the interior shell of pop culture and political media to witness the true identity of evil, and only then will you distinguish reality from global hypnosis. To fully understand this statement, you must first reveal the questions it arouses: What illusion? What trickery? What shell? What global hypnosis? The answer to all these unknowns comes down to the fundamental understanding of the motivation and engineering of such an entrapment, where our minds… Read More

the alarm goes off “I need a wife”, “I need a wife”, if he tries to ignore that alarm, it goes “NOW!”. At this point, this young lad has two options:- .… Read More

In the current stormy life we have, darkness has fallen over our hearts, rendering us blind when we're at our peak of need for sight, not being able to take the right step we try to open our eyes and find conciliation through the hazy and vicious surroundings as a last salvation for what we've spiraled in from the horrifying chasm of misery to the asphyxiating gasps of sorrow but when all hope is lost and the vultures of desperation start circling a certain rose starts to grow awaiting for our attention, a rose that its own heavenly aroma could purify our very souls from… Read More

I think the moon has an effect on people, have you seen it? I’ve noticed that whenever it’s a full moon, people tend to be more aggressive and emotional; or maybe it’s just me. This year, we’ve welcomed 2010 with a lunar eclipse, and boy, did people define madness? . My friends wanted to hang out for the New Year eve, and because… Read More
