Personal Life

We Went Today to Celebrate the Wedding of Some Friends (the reader might think the wedding will be today, but not so — rather, so that the visa application starts; the explanation may be long, so the reader will be spared it)

The wedding rings
The wedding rings.

Back to our topic: the attendees, before this day, were flying at each other in shreds in the WhatsApp group in which everyone wants to prove his patriotism.

I do not know exactly who benefits from it — neither the person who starts with obscene insults, nor the community or the homeland they claim to belong to — and their braying does not help here or there, and yet they squabble... and at the wedding they dance!

Either the flaw is in the genes or in the factory calibration! The thing that brings them together is the food! And the amount of extravagance that happens every time is utterly illogical. Logic says: if you must be extravagant, then bring with you — or ask the attendees to bring — empty containers, so that they may be filled from the surplus food. I do not know how we read — if we read — that God does not love the extravagant. What audacity! And in the end, someone comes and says: what can we do! May God refer you to your mind, brother of the Arabs!

Why can't every five people be grouped into a circle or a group, so that food is divided equally among them without extravagance — not even a grain of rice (I feel I have exaggerated).

Anyway, I am thinking of making a special group I will call "Al-Hamdani's Friends Group", so that when we want to hold a celebration, it is arranged and organized in the right way and with a calculated quantity.

Stay in God's safety.
