The problem is that you resemble no one

The problem is that you resemble no one

You're not the best, but you're the strangest, the version that truly owns uniqueness. You have several resemblances; for example, in the world of birds, you're the lone bird chirping on the edge of a tree in a mysterious, desolate desert. You're the whale striving in desperate attempts to escape its world by throwing itself onto the shore.

You're the flute that only plays about alienation and detachment, and you're the night seeking daylight. You're the stillness in the music of the desert. You resemble no one; no matter how hard you try to speak, everyone listens, but no one understands. You're the philosopher whose philosophy fell in the wars of the Mongols, and you're the scientist whose theories vanished before the invention of writing. You're the discourse that hasn't been narrated yet like disconnected text from its context... and the dancing word between throat and tongue. You're the one whose confession lurks in circles of secrecy, always suspected because it hasn't been comprehended yet, subject to broad accusations!

You're lost between the corners of truth, in a place between death and life, fallen beyond all human data, silent in the face of days. And one of the striking ironies to behold is that sometimes you might not even resemble yourself... the speed of your transformation is faster than the mutation of terrestrial epidemics!

The crime is not in the strangeness of your appearance, language, or speech, but in how everyone interprets your condition. The least others will describe you as is being eccentric.

May Allah ease your journey, young man... May Allah ease it for you!
