The situation in Palestine at the moment made me think about the input I wrote back in April, “the endless struggle for power“, in which I wrote… Powerstruggles have been a part of human history as far as we can remember. A reach for power. […] Thinking about these things always leads me to ask… why?? What is it all for? Does the end justify the means?
Well, not if normal civilian people have to pay with their lives. They didn’t sign up for it. They have no means of defense… but somehow they end up being the ones who suffer the most.
A hospital alone shows what war is.
– Erich Maria Remarque
I personally know people who have had to leave the home and everything in order to stay alive. It’s a difficult situation to even imagine. Sometimes I wonder if the ones who make decisions and are sitting behind desks have actually been in such situations themselves? Can most people even relate to it? The thing I asked in my previous update is just as suitable here… to what end?
We constantly need to remind ourselves that life exists for a reason, it is about more than a pursuit of comfort and social status… because clearly, our time is limited, and conflicts of this kind is a cold reminder of that.
I repeat what I said in my last update… let us take a moment to pray for those of our brothers and sisters who currently face difficulties and struggles. Peace to all who face difficulties and to those who put their trust in Him. Amin.

I do hope that all of you are safe and that this input has brought something to consider.
The best of times to you all inshallah.
Peace, happiness, and stay faithful.
