Arabic Proverb: "Friendship is an unlimited Treasure"
What a True Friend IS?
In my last post, I did make a mistake by generalizing that I don’t have friends here! I confess and admit that I shouldn’t put it that way. However, for my dear friends in class, who felt bad about what I said.

Please, try to look at it from this point of view. Allow me to introduce you to the theory of what a friend is?
- A friend is someone feels your pain, and considers it his ‘or hers’.
-A friend is someone helps you when you are there, and when you are NOT there!
- A friend is someone covers your back, even without your knowledge.
- A friend is someone who doesn’t have a bad timing when it comes to you.
- A friend is someone understands you, better than most people do.
- A friend is someone saves your friendship from everything, even from yourself.
- A friend is someone if you slapped him ‘or her’ on the face, before he ‘or she’ reacts, he ‘or she’ will ask ‘why’?
- A friend doesn’t act ‘friendship’, he ‘or she’ just feels it!
- A friend is a whole family to you: he ‘or she’ is the mother, the father, the brother, the wife, the son and the bodyguard!
- A friend is not a ‘bodyguard’, he ‘or she’ is a soul guard!
- A friend is the only place to go, when you don’t have any place to go.
- A friend is a partner in joy, sorrows and love.
- A friend is the only one that you feel him ‘or her’ safe to say anything about everything.
- A friend is the one that knows you’re not made out of diamond, but feels you so.
- A friend is the one, if you take from him ‘or her’ everything, he ‘or she’ will feel sorry for not having more to offer!
- A friend is the lap to cry if you’re sad, the party if you’re lonely and the beauty maker if everything is ugly.
- In short, a friend is another eternal free spot you can get from this life!

Does such a person exist in life? Do I believe in it?

Mohammad the prophet (May Allah has his blesses and prayers upon his soul) existed in this life. Jesus Christ existed in life! Mother Teresa existed in life! Why not?

Life to me is very short. I know that I’m going to die and it’s all a matter of when? Maybe I’ll die tomorrow, maybe in some years, maybe before I post this article! I’d love to live my life to the fullest, To enjoy every gift I can get from God who made my life for me!

Lucky me, I have some free spots in the life of others, but I never get enough! It’s the only legitimized greed, and in this concept, I’m the most vicious greedy in the world! I love to have more friends than anyone, but, with people who meet this concept of the above mentioned points! It’s not a fairytale or imaginary view, it’s how I’m!
Show me your friendship, and try me! Do you dare??

It's Snowing Here in Orebro!

I’m astonished! Is it the white color? Is it the relief I feel when I see it? It’s not the first time I see snow! I lived in Syria and France enough time to see snow tens of times in my life.

I have one explanation. Snow to me is the truth. It’s the feel of truth I miss. I feel it like a friend came from the sky to share with me.

Let me face it now, I don’t have true friends here. People are nice, but are they friends? I don’t think so. Or at least, I’m not sure.

At least, I’m sure snow will listen. I can talk forever, and be sure that it will never feel bored.

Sometimes, we need miracles to happen. We need something to come from the sky to help us.

Sometimes, we say rubbish without knowing what it means, but we do feel it! I do!

I’ll stop talking to you now. Snow is waiting!
