“الواحد بيعمل جدول مذاكرة عشان ينظم القلق”

“Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering.

“إزاي هزهد في حاجا ماعييش؟
-ياحمار دي فضيله الاستغناء
وانا كنت استغنيت بمزاجي؟
أنا اسمي يئست ومستغنتش
إيه الزهد في إني أما أجي
أشتري ما بجيبش عشان ما لقتش؟
فيه فرق ما بين صبر العاجز
علشان مبقاش حاجه ف إيده
وبين واحد أصلا مش عايز
غير زي ما بس يعوز سيده
صدقني أنا زاهد بالصدفه .. أو من غير قصد
أنا طاير آه .. لكن علشان مش لاقي الأرض”
― مصطفى إبراهيم, المانيفستو

“The truth is not in the middle, and not in one extreme; but in both extremes.”
