Flirt like an arab poet: — Thread 🧵

Arabic has 14 words for love. Each one describes a different stage. And here's what got me. Each one comes from a root that has nothing to do with love. Until you see the connection. And then you can't unsee it. All 14. Let me walk you through them.

The Japanese Samurai had a rule: never make a decision before you can answer this one question. In feudal Japan, elite samurai were trained never to act until they could honestly answer one question their masters repeated for decades: "If I die tomorrow, does this choice still matter?" It wasn't philosophy. It was a mental filter designed to cut through fear, ego, and short-term emotion in seconds. Most modern decisions are made under invisible pressure: deadlines, social approval, FOMO. The result is a life built on reactions instead of clarity. When you start applying the samurai question daily, something shifts. Small irritations lose power. Big risks become obvious. You stop chasing things that won't matter next year. The samurai understood that true strength isn't speed. It's the ability to see clearly when everyone else is rushing.

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.”

“Now, with God's help, I shall become myself.” — Søren Kierkegaard

According to Philosophy, the highest form of peace is to have zero desire to be understood, admired, pitied or even known.

The beautiful paradox of growing up. You work so hard to become an adult just to realize the child was the destination all along.

"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does." —Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
