The Lost Book
لا ينتصر الشر دائمًا حين يجعلنا أشرارًا. أحيانًا يكفيه أن يجعل الطيبين يخافون أن يربوا أبناءهم على الخير.
The Lost Book
تمنيت أحيانًا، في طفولة بالغة، لو أن الخير يملك شيئًا من الوقاحة التي يملكها الشر. فالشر كثيرًا ما يكون جريئًا، مبادرًا.
The Lost Book
فأنت لست مهمًا كما تعتقد، إنك عابر منسي، فلا تدع وهم جلالتك يسلب متعة حياتك…
The Lost Book
ليست كل المسافات عوائق ينبغي اختصارها، وليست كل الدقائق التي توفرها مكاسب، وليس الوصول وحده ما يحدد قيمة الطريق.
The Lost Book
The Lost Book
ليس حسن الظن أن تكون ساذجًا، أو أن تثق بمن ثبت غدره، وإنما ألا تجعل الخوف أصل علاقاتك بالناس. أن تحاول.
The Lost Book

Jawlat el Dounia

Between the Strange and the Prevailing: a meeting about love and life

The lecture invites us to rethink the ideas and behaviors we have grown used to, and to take apart the beliefs that shaped how we see ourselves and our relationships. It highlights the importance of family and its central role in building psychological and social balance, strengthens personal responsibility toward ourselves and others, and restores values and ethics as a core reference for more aware, balanced relationships and a more cohesive society.

Workshops

Up-close gatherings, in limited numbers

Dedicated, guided gatherings in small groups that draw close to people's individual experiences, opening room to rethink their lives, their problems, and their decisions. We talk about relationships, marriage and divorce, upbringing, the struggle for authority between generations, freedom, and the loss of harmony and meaning, through a scientific approach that stays close to people and in tune with human values and the culture of our Arab societies. These gatherings aim to lighten the weight of personal crises, to understand them clearly, and to reach practical solutions that help people live more aware, more balanced lives.

Between the strange and the familiar lies the meeting of love and lifeListen to those who disagree with you, for they hold the half of the truth you don't seeReading is not entertainment. It is the work of the soulA society that does not read does not see itselfKnowledge without doubt is dogma. Doubt without knowledge is despairWe carry the questions long after we forget the answers
A personal invitation

I do not write a newsletter to market. I write it because I want our conversation to continue through the week, even when we do not meet. One essay, a small letter, plenty of meaning.
