All farewells are bitter, wars are bitter, death is bitter, longing is bitter, and everything that steals a person from a person is bitter.

There is a fine line between some qualities, which makes some people confuse them..
There is humility and humiliation..
There is self-esteem and arrogance..
There is frankness and impudence..
There is self-confidence and vanity..
There is kindness and naivety..
There is greed and stinginess..
There is flattery and hypocrisy..
If a quality exceeds a certain limit, it turns to be replaced by another quality..
He who exaggerates in humility humiliates himself, and he who exaggerates in his self-esteem is arrogant, and he who exaggerates in frankness turns into impudence, and he who has excessive self-confidence turns into arrogance..
Kindness and good opinion are required, but excess in them turns into naivety, and he who is excessive in his greed is stingy..
It was said in the past: Excessive affection is like false affection, both of them do not benefit their owner..
There is also a fine line between some feelings..
There is admiration And love..
And there is disagreement and hatred..
If we do not wake up to the nature of feelings, we fall into the clutches of wrong feelings..
Perhaps you admire a certain person because you found in him a quality that you love, your admiration for this quality does not mean that you are infatuated with that person and you must not leave him..
Also when you disagree with someone, this does not mean that you hate him, perhaps you hated his idea, but you did not hate the person himself..
We need to have an accurate indicator that maintains that fine line..
The secret word is not to exaggerate..
Do not exaggerate in your thoughts, qualities, actions or feelings..
Do not exaggerate in humility to others, so that you reduce your value, and fall in the eyes of others..
Do not exaggerate in haughtiness, so that others think that you are arrogant and avoid you, nor in courtship, so that they are repelled by you..
Also, always check the truth of your feelings, so that you put each person in his right place, so that you do not lose yourself and others..

If a person becomes more mature and aware, and more patient and knowledgeable, the desire to argue will gradually fade away, and he will become further away from quarreling and flattery, and closer to ignoring and overlooking, and he will realize that his time is more valuable than to waste it in pointless arguments, and his mood is more worthy than to spoil it in order to win in a passing situation. -Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud

My mother always tells us:

Laugh in your father's face when he comes home because the world outside is scary and breaks parents.

The difference between a mother and a father???

A mother carries you in her womb for 9 months

A father carries you for the rest of your life (and you don't feel it)

A mother makes sure you're not hungry

A father teaches you not to be hungry (and you don't realize it)

A mother carries you on her chest

And a father carries you on his back (and you don't see him)
You know a mother's love from birth

You know a father's love when you become a father (so be patient)

A mother is priceless

And a father will never be repeated
