Yes but why?


Why do we feel better after taking one leg out of the blanket? Why glue does not stick to the internal part of the tube that it comes in? Why do we love dancing in the rain but can't stand it when a single sock is wet? Why do they use sterile injections when executing someone who is condemned to death? Why do we have to sleep to function properly? Why do we feel hungry when we're bored? Why do we press down harder on the remote controls despite knowing that the batteries are low? Why is it that when someone hits us in the ankle with their trolley in supermarket and apologises we say its ok, Why is it that we do not say that it hurts? Why our hair looks better just when we're about to take a shower? No matter the color of the soap, the bubbles are always white, why? Why did the Japanese Kamikaze pilots wear helmets during the Second World War? Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest but, then, duck when the vacant weapon is tossed at him? Why our dreams are always so stupid? Why do banks charge a commission when you go into debt even though they know that there is no money in that account? Why do people go back again and again to the refrigerator hoping that something new to eat will appear? Why do we eat some of the fruits along with their seeds and some seeds we take out? Same with the vegetables. Why do people believe it when they are told that there are more than four billion stars, but when they see a sign that says wet paint, they have to touch and check? Why does a plastic sack not open toward the end where you first attempt to open it? Why do you never hear jokes about fathers-in-law? Why are there dead bugs inside encased electric lights? Why is it that every time you try and catch something about to fall off the table, you always hit something else and drop that instead? 
Life has many oddities and conundrums: some funny, some less. And I am sure that there is a perfectly logical explanation for some of the questions I've written but some just don't make sense.

Painful, Patient and Powerful🍉

The story of a land that breathes resilience, whispers prayers in the dark and cradles the hopes of a people longing for peace.  The Unbearable Losses: In the tapestry of Palestinian existence, threads of sorrow are woven deeply. Families were torn apart, homes shattered, and dreams suspended in the air like delicate dandelion seeds. The losses are unbearable and unimaginable, yet the spirit of the people refuses to shatter. Everyday Heroes: Palestine is not just a piece of land; it's a testament to the power of the human spirit. Amid adversity, everyday heroes emerge. Mothers weaving warmth into the fabric of their children's lives, fathers rebuilding what war has taken, and children painting a canvas of hope with their laughter. Each face tells a story of resilience, embodying the strength of standing tall against the storm. Life, Unimaginable: Living in the shadow of conflict, every breath in Palestine is an act of defiance. Yet, life persists. Markets bustle with

The Art of Solitude

Do you ever find yourself craving some alone time, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life? In a world that constantly bombards us with noise, distractions, and a never-ending to-do list, solitude can be a precious gift. It's an opportunity to hit pause and reconnect with the most important person in your life: yourself. When you're in solitude, you can explore your thoughts and feelings without external influences. It's like having a deep conversation with yourself, uncovering layers of your personality, and gaining a profound understanding of who you truly are. And that's always a good thing. Think of solitude as your personal retreat. It's a time to recharge your mental and emotional batteries. In the quiet moments, you can let go of stress, unwind, and regain your inner balance. It's like plugging in your smartphone to charge up; solitude is your recharge time. I know, sounds funny right? but trust me it's true. Some of history's most brilliant

Surely, With Every Hardship Comes Ease

  As a believer, I have found immense comfort and strength in the teachings of the Quran, particularly in the verse "Inna ma'al usri yusra." Isn't it beautiful? This simple yet profound verse encapsulates the essence of resilience and hope in Islam. It reminds us that no matter how difficult our circumstances may be, there is always a silver lining, a ray of hope that shines through the darkness. It teaches us to have faith in Allah's plan and to trust that He will never burden us with more than we can bear. Some days, this the only thought that keeps me going. When I reflect on my own life and the challenges I've faced, and the choices i've made, I find reassurance in this verse. It serves as a reminder that hardships are temporary, and they often pave the way for something better. Every trial we endure strengthens our character, builds our patience, and ultimately leads us to personal growth. One of the most beautiful aspects of Islam is its emphasis
