Alquds Newspaper stated today that non-direct negotiations will take place in Washington in the next week between Israelis and Palestinians. Read more…

Some of us find a reason to live for while many follow other’s reasons without acknowledging this. The nature of our life today implies on us to act in a specific way in order to succeed in moving forward in a system which was already prepared for us.
Modern life demands from those who want to succeed in it to live in a specific way in order to gain it. In former ages people used to ask questions about different things…things like the reason we exist, religion, science, behavior, fake and true values. Today people are busy either with bringing the essential needs for their families or working hard to take part in the leadership of a Modern life which they never participated in designing it.

Perfection is one thing that many of us seek but no one did obtain. It is a game which could end by turning a normal man into someone who finds himself far away from reality and normal behavior of humans.
