It was unlikely to receive, from the young generation, responses and feedback on the previous article about the differences and struggle between generations.

I stared at her in amusement and asked: "what? Did you win the lottery?" She sarcastically replied: "No I wish, then added, my wedding day has been set!" I remembered; her wedding was postponed three times in over 6 months due to the unwelcomed vi ...

My very dear friend the intellectual and decent Sawsan Daher known as Sue, argued with me persistently, after my last article where I emphasized the state of restlessness among our society nowadays, insisting that happiness is just a state of mind!
