Why is it that when we’re depressed and miserable and just feeling like running into a semi or driving off a cliff is when we feel most inspired to write?! or is it just me?

(not that I’ve been feeling this way lately, but.)  

My latest reading (which, overall, was not all that impressive…but not too bad either) triggered some thoughts in my mind … As I was driving to work, I sent 2 rounds of a mass sms to some of my female friends with the first asking:

Hi! Would u take on prostitution if it guarantees a free palestine and exclusive return of all refugees?

Minutes later, my phone began to vibrate.

Response 1: No because it wud never happen. I know this is not an answer but that’s not even a valid question

Response 2: No cuz my parents care more about me than palestine, cuz i care about not hurting them more than the fate of others no matter how selfish that sounds. And cuz when i die, God will not take ‘for palestine’ as an excuse for selling myself and ignoring his conditions, right? You cant shut off human nature.

Revised Question sent in round 2 :

Hi! Just thinking about this … just pretend the result is guaranteed… Would u take on prostitution if it guarantees a free palestine and exclusive return of all refugees?

Response 1: I would sell my husband

Response 2: Does the end justify the means?

Response 3: No. God will not bless or free palestine if its women enter prostitution en mass!

Response 4: No Maam. What kind of barakah [blessing] would we have bel watan [in our homeland]

Response 5: Yes. Arent i such a ho. But at least a loyal one

Response 6: Inti Khateera [You are dangerous - fatal]

Response 7: I need time. It’s not easy.

Response 8: why think of something which is just not going to happen??!! Why waste your thoughts on that! and if it can really happen then when the time comes, we can think of it ….depends on the situation we are in reality

So, would you?!

Aside from war, violence, poverty…What could make someone so damn bitter!

Just wondering if there are any sick disgusting people out there who would justify such… so the question is:

Is rape ever justified?

Why/Why not?

For bilingual people out there… when you - and if you actually do - think, what language do you usually think in?

Delight the eye without distracting the mind?

(How so?)

In the words of Einstein, A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
