You can be starving  And make a quick meal  But the slower you cook  The tastier the dish I have developed a symptom of hastiness as I feel every time I start working on a project, it needs to be finished as soon as possible.  I reflected back to my earlier experience of hastiness when I was an architectural student at Damascus University. In the last three years of my studies, the Syrian crisis broke out. It did not affect me directly in Damascus as I was living in somewhat safer parts. However, the energy supply system was severely damaged. That led the authorities to compensate for the energy shortage by making regular blackouts in residential areas. Which sometimes last for 16 hours a day (we only get to use electricity 4 hours a day). Now energy supply is not supposed to be an essential need that would affect you profoundly. But an architecture student depends on computer programs to work on their projects. That will result in considerable stress problems for su...

The first movement a jaw was moving with plans, dreams, and jokes the second movement away from the mover away laying on grass but in me was moving his plans, dreams, and jokes his first love and noisy brother screaming loudly as I stood like a scolded child apologising yet again for his loss

When we understand that the mechanical view of the world is been built on a method of gaining knowledge, not knowledge itself, we might be able to set on the first step of gaining that missing knowledge. Imagining the world as a machine of push/pull factors was the method to answer how things work mechanically not how things work. Christopher Alexander wrote in his book "Nature of Order: The Phenomenon of Life" that what makes us create this lifeless modern building is our new disturbed understanding of the world (as a machine), confusing the parts we understand as they are the entire whole. Maybe this is why we say "the whole is greater than the parts" because we have only understood one part of these "parts" so we can't yet manage to build the entire "whole" picture. So if we admit having some missing parts but still somehow grasp the whole then maybe we could grasp a bit the nature of the universe?. Ok, let's try this on...

I found the translation of "Homeless" interesting in the other two languages that I know about.  Beginning with  English:  Homeless is a person minus a home (where one lives permanently). Its equivalence in  German  is "Heimatlos". The literal meaning of Heimat is "homeland or native country". Heimatlos is a person without a nation. I guess Germans described the people they had on their streets as people who lost their native land.  On the other hand, "Homeless" feels like they can be on their native land without a house or family. Now when it comes to  Arabic  متشرّد "mutasharrid" we start by seeing the word's root as a verb: as no expert here, I will try out two roots: 1- شَردَ this is the three-letter root verb: sharada : lost (like lost in thought or lost their way) 2- تَشَرّد this is the five-letter root verb: tasharrada wandering around without a goal It feels like the meaning in Arabic transcended from the "form" ...

This is a trial article to post, so please do not read this if you are looking for educational, inspiring, funny or whatever content. I am still a beginner since English is my second language. Thus, I am training here right now with this word and that sentence.  No, wait, I do have one piece of advice! Here are two internet links that helped me grasp what is being oneself and have fun for a moment. And for me: 1. Waitandwhy.com  Taming the Mammoth  post:  It is an excellent start just to understand the concept of being yourself in being yourself topic. I mean, I don’t see myself as a writer or a pro in blogging. Still, Zuhar can confidently say that I am blogging away without following what professionals say about the right way of blogging, which is enough for me. 2.Pewdiepie  THERE IS NO GAME : I admire his sense of humour, which I find falls under the theme of him doing shit and having fun. And maybe that very thing answers why so many people adore him; This i...
