Why do we live?

Author's name: Saeed Nashed Publisher: Dar Al-Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2022 Literary classification: Human Development and Self-Improvement Brief about the book: After a period of exposure to accusations and harm because of his opinions and writings, the harm reached the point of his dismissal from his job in the most difficult circumstances. And although he regained his job after his dismissal turned into a public opinion issue... that difficult phase for him and his family had to make him contemplate the philosophy of living, so Saeed Nashed stood before the question: Why do we live? And this is the book he dedicates to "the losers who wasted time in contemplation, so they fell behind the road, then missed the breakfast." "I am one of them. I sit at the waiting station without expecting anything." We do not cross life; rather, life is what crosses us. Life is not a corridor or passage, but a cosmic energy hidden in all things, possessing its own will that surpasses all wills, but its manifestations differ from one thing to another, from one type to another, and from one person to another. So how can one make the crossing good? One might think that living life lies in striving to obtain a position that grants power and control, or money that can provide comfortable material living conditions, or other things... and this is enough for him to contemplate and search for the meaning of life. But how does one do without meaning when falling prey to illness and pain, or boredom and fatigue, or when losing loved ones, or the end of youth, or facing death... and how heavy is this?
