“To agonize over the past cripples our thoughts of the future.
Do not procrastinate for fear of what might have been, or what might become. Your choices define you - you must learn to live with them all, good and bad.” -Anonymous
To the friend who disappeared without notice:
I hope that the plans worked out and that you are feeling better accompanied by a sense of contentment and gratitude.
@noor_alrahbi Reminds me of Al Assima Mall in Kuwait where they have a dedicated track for walking. It is not a bad idea in the summer heat; it also drives the economy up which is always good.

Reading levels did not make much sense to me for a long time until I transitioned from reading “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius 1893 Long’s translation to read The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It is precisely then, I began to make serious distinction about different reading levels.
Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. How? Teachers are respected as professionals, given adequate time for planning during the school day, and more autonomy in school decisions. Maybe that's why we lose nearly 50% of teachers every 5 years!
@SaulBalushi This is actually true to some extent. Its only what attracts them will make them focus and attentive. I believe that much of the content nowadays is geared towards short-form. However, it would be incredibly dismissive to say that long-form content has no place.
@Noor_AlRahbi This struck similarity with social interactions in real life as well. More often than not; people do not like opposing/contradicting thoughts. Because of this, there is a lot of sugar-coating in the community to avoid undesirable outcomes.
@SaulBalushi Been feeling the same lately. Don’t know the reason behind it but I am not complaining. The majority of the books I cannot find physically in stores so I have no other choice.
