قصة كتبها أحد الأصدقاء عن تأثره بحواري معه، بعد تعرفي به على الإنترنت، كي يسألني عن حل لصراعات خاضها في مرحلة حساسة من حياته الشخصية..
.
While I was going through a very difficult period in my life, a higher power sent me the friend of my life. It was a very hard time that I wasn’t even able to think about any thing or read anything; I was just wasting my time on things that I thought would help me forget what I was going through. Coincidently, while I was surfing the Net for nothing but wasting time, I entered a forum and started to skim the site, and there I read a subject that was exactly about what was happening with me! It was written by one who was suffering from the same thing. I was shocked as I thought he was talking about me, not him; the thing that made me return to my grief and hardness. I registered in the forum; they ask me for a sign to be displayed in the end of every reply I wrote; I wrote a one right away with no hesitation, and replied to the subject by saying “you are taking about me, don’t you?” just that sentence. I could not sleep that night and I started thinking deeply about my problem; I grabbed a pen and papers and started writing with non-stop. I wrote about many things that I didn’t think about one day. That night I knew my self more than ever before. After that night I woke up with different feelings; I don’t know how to describe them. It wasn’t even clear to be described. I went to the web site again and read the new replies, and there I found the guy who changed my life.
“
From your sign I can tell who you are” he wrote “… don’t do as I did one day. This is my email address … and I’m waiting for your message” I could not believe my eyes. He was describing me and what happened with me as he was living with me, exactly like living with me. He talked about details of my character, life, family, friends, and PLANS!! I don’t remember that I told anybody about those plans; I just believed that the man had come! After several days of sending and receiving messages, I took his number and called him. We were spending hours of talking. In these calls I started understanding my self more and more. I was thinking more deeply about every thing, but wasn’t completely clear. One day he asked me to give him my mailing address, and I received a book in four days. It was a short novel in 160 pages, copied from his copy and has some writing in its margins, his writing, he was clarifying the lessons beyond some events in the novel. The novel was in Arabic; translated from another language; it was about a Spanish boy who spent years and did many things in order to “know” his fate! And other years in order to get it. He faced millions of difficulties and discouragers. In several times, the boy was nearly to stop and give up, but somehow he was getting started again. It was the novel of my life. I really needed it that time.
That happened two years ago. I’m willing to visit him one day when the chance comes. It was a miracle that I knew him. He was the rescuer of my life. His understanding and deep thinking did help me to know my self and approach my fate. And the novel was the treasure that I look at once a while to know my self.
