In the Name of Defiance

Samer Amin

 

 

Despite the dire consequences of challenging human limitations,

 

 

 

deep within our souls, is a constant calling for embracing the challenge, and challenging the impossible.

 

 

 

Going beyond our limits can give us a deep sense of glory and an indescribable sense of victory.

 

 

 

Regardless of our gender or any ideological background, this glorious feeling never changes whenever we overcome an insurmountable challenge.

 

 

 

 Only to convince themselves that they are still in control of the various parameters of this world, some people exceed the limits of their potentialities.

 

 

 

Like the stubborn young maid who insisted on hanging clothes on clotheslines on a stormy day without using clothespins.

 

 

 

Despite the deep sadness that afflicted the entire family, she still believes that she achieved her glory,

 

 

 

 when she had raised to the challenge of the elements of nature in general, and the authority of the housewife in particular.

 

 

 

 Insisting on insulting a bad-tempered elephant in front of that elephant's family, during the elephant's annual peak of testosterone level.

 

 

 

The zoo keeper did not vent his anger upon this elephant because he could not vent his anger elsewhere.

 

 

 

But because he wanted to tell himself that he was still not afraid of that frenzied elephant and he was still in control.

 

 

 

   Immediately putting down his answers on the answer sheet without being bothered to have a look at the question paper first.

 

 

 

Certainly, this brilliant math student thought his intelligence was more superior than the inherent inferiority of that question paper.

 

 

 

In the same way, a university professor who usually forgets to write some questions on the question paper.

 

 

 

Instead of admitting his forgetfulness, he asked his students to infer these questions and answer them in detail.

 

 

 

 Doing a high jump into a swimming pool with too little amount of water.

 

 

 

A friend of mine used to kept reducing the amount of water until he decided to jump into a swimming pool with no water at all,

 

 

 

except for a small wet towel at the bottom of that pool.

 

 

 

On his deathbed, after breaking every single bone in his body, he was asked to seek forgiveness from his Creator for what he had incurred upon himself.

 

 

 

However, he never showed any sign of repentance and said it was not his fault.

 

 

 

It was just the fault of an envious friend who had squeezed the water out of that towel.
