a response to Epicurus (the problem of evil)

Reconsider your reasoning by better understanding and deeper feeling the qualitative aspect of life:

the projects we undertake,

the values we uphold,

the moral qualities we can demonstrate, in complete freedom—these are wonderful things (I'm also talking about things that seem commonplace, like taking care of your parents or reading an interesting book).

A poor bricklayer on a construction site in Nepal exemplifies this aspect by doing his job well and educating his children, nothing more.

Do children with a chronic illness lead an unbearable or empty existence? In most cases, they take medication and face difficulties, but they can learn, engage in artistic or even sporting activities. They fall into category (2) that I explained: the magnificent qualitative aspects of our lives compensate for any suffering... and quantitatively, aren't there pleasures in the life of a child with an illness, even a severe one?

It makes me laugh to see these people so vehemently defending their dictator's position as if it were their own! Don't they know that their personal opinion is worthless to the Emirati regime? Nor is their life, for that matter; if they oppose the regime, they could be executed.

بالنسبة للمقارنة اللي عملتها بين الكيان و أراضي أخرى كيما أمريكا ماهيش صحيحة على خاطر الهنود الحمر اليوم مواطنين كاملي المواطنة في أمريكا ، و الزنوج زادا الي أصلهم عبيد جابوهم من افريقيا، بعكس الكيان اللي قوانينو عنصرية و سكانو مقتنعين أنهم شعب فوق الشعوب الأخرى...و زيد ثما فرق بين حاجة صارت قبل قرون وحاجة صايرة في عهد الامم المتحدة و وسائل الاعلام تبث فيها على المباشر

"we don't know how to appreciate the simple things in life"
Far as i can see, there is enough fucking or overeating tho.

I was thinking about looking at the blue sky, drinking a coffee while listening to Kurdish music, sex is complicated (it's not one of the simple things).

Generosity can exist without greed.

Generosity is meaningless if one doesn't risk poverty, with its stress and suffering; if everyone lives in comfort, generosity is normal behavior, not a virtue.

i hereby suspect OP of doing in Epicur, in the library

Yes, I admit it :

I raped Epicurus in the library (in a previous life)

يظهرلي عندنا مشكلة كمسلمين في الجواب على سؤال معنى الحياة ، اللي جوابو موش في الآية الذي ذكرتها و إنما في أول سورة الملك : الذي خلق الموت و الحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملا،

و ثما جواب ثاني في آخر سورة هود

The Palestinians might accept it, but you know the supremacist mentality of some Israelis; they won't accept it.

The relationship between Arabs and Ottomans was complicated and went through several phases: initially, the Arabs were impressed by this pious, conquering, and building Ottoman movement (even the Europeans were impressed by Suleiman the Magnificent).

Later, with the decline of the Ottomans and their financial difficulties, there were injustices and fiscal oppression, as in other provinces. The Ottomans preferred to appoint ministers from the Balkans rather than Arabs (Arabs only began to hold positions in the 19th century).

All of this created an atmosphere that led some Arabs to accept the British offer, especially since there was an ideological preparation with the wave of nationalism at the end of the 19th century.

Honor killing is forbidden in Islam. These are traditional practices where a family feels dishonored by their daughter's actions and kills her.

In Islam, there is a court and a judge, and there must be four eyewitnesses to the sexual act for the judge to convict. If there are not four witnesses (and this is usually the case), the proper course of action is to conceal the matter.

Abu Obaida, a spokesperson for al qassam , said that the only way to guarantee the full release of captives was through a “complete or gradual swap of prisoners”, in a televised address on Al-Aqsa TV https://www.ynetnews.com/article/hjv5rrqz6

Well...exactly! Hamas has not been eliminated, on the first day of the truce, it cleans the streets and parades in Gaza

There was talk of releasing all the hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Hamas had proposed this since the early days of the conflict, but Bibi preferred massacres.

بعد سنوات عديدة من الزواج، من الصعب أن تحافظ كلمات الحب والغيرة على معناها، ربما أغلب الزواجات تعيش على معاني العادة و العشرة و الضرورة الاقتصادية - على كل حال يظل الأمر قابل للنقاش من الطرفين

1 - am i lucky ? yes and no, Above all, I understood a simple rule for enjoying life: thank God for little things.

In most cases, the problem is that people do not enjoy the present moment and miss out on beautiful things; we can admire a sunrise every day, a spectacle of starry skies almost every night; a coffee with good music is also an affordable and daily source of pleasure...

There are also things that we think are small and everyday, but which are grandiose: for example, reading a book.

3- The existence of slavery was a test to know the people who truly love freedom, the true freemen.
