If I’m choosing to judge myself based on my ability to have open and accepting friendships, that means I’m rejecting trashing my friends behind their backs. These are all healthy decisions, yet they require rejection at every turn. The point is this: we all must give a fuck about something, in order to value something.

is that
you can start over
as many times
as you like.”

“لقد أضاء الصبح لذى عينين”
― امام علی بن ابی طالب / Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, نهج البلاغه

“إذا المرء لا يرعاك إلا تكلفاً.. فدعه ولا تُكثِر عليه التأسفا
ففي الناس أبدال وفي الترك راحةٌ.. وفي القلب صبرٌ للحبيب ولو جفا
فما كل من تهواه يهواكَ قلبُه.. ولا كل من صافيته لك قد صفا
إذا لم يكن صفو الوداد طبيعةً.. فلا خيرَ في ودٍ يجئُ تكلٌفا
ولا خيرَ في خِلٍ يخون خليله.. ويلقاهُ من بعدِ المودة بالجفا
ويُنكِرُ عيشاً قد تقادم عهدهُ.. ويُظهِرُ سراً كان بالأمس قد خفا
سلامٌ على الدنيا إذا لم يكن بها.. صديقٌ صدوقٌ صادقُ الوعدِ مُنصِفا”
― محمد بن إدريس الشافعي

― محمد بن إدريس الشافعي, ديوان الإمام الشافعي
