\u00a0 \u00a0Crises, hardships and difficulties are experienced by all of us. Many ask: is there a way to lead an easy life? The answer is in following lines of the famous poet, Abu al-Alaa al-Maarri<\/span><\/h2>\n

“Life is but a hardship<\/span><\/h2>\n

How strange is he who thirsts for more?!”<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Life is full of hardships; however each one of us perceives it differently according to his life vision, understanding of the eventual end of all the hardships he suffers whether desirable or destructive.

\u00a0 \u00a0Quitting life when facing crises is negative as it would only add to your pain and foil any attempt to overcome the crisis.

You can forget or try to forget your crises, but you would never be able to embark on a new era in your life that leads to a bigger success. Whoever resort to lying, deceit or fear and surrender would face the inevitable consequences of his decisions.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0It came to pass that a country had to suffer a huge starvation which threatened death of its inhabitants. Its governor summoned them and discussed the coming crisis with them and how they should collaborate to face it. Then, he had a queer request that each one of them should empty a glass of milk in a huge jar amid the city under condition that no one should watch him. Then ……………<\/span><\/h2>\n
