فِي رِحَابِ الْغُربةِ وَتَحدِّياتِهَا

الْغُرْبَةُ هِيَ بُعْدُ الْإِنْسَانِ عَنْ وَطَنِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لِدِرَاسَةٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ أَوْ بَحْثٍ عَنْ حَيَاةٍ أَفْضَلَ. وَهِيَ تَجْرِبَةٌ إِنْسَانِيَّةٌ عَمِيقَةٌ يَمُرُّ بِهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَتَحْمِلُ فِي طَيَّاتِهَا مَزِيجًا مِنَ الصُّعُوبَاتِ وَالْفَوَائِدِ فِي آنٍ وَاحِدٍ.

عِنْدَ الْبَعْضِ الْغُرْبَةُ كَانَتِ الدَّرْسَ الْأَقْوَى وَالْمُوَاجَهَةَ الْأَصْعَبَ وَالْمَدْرَسَةَ الْكَبِيرَةَ، مَا هِيَ الدُّرُوسُ وَالْعِبَرُ الَّتِي تَعَلَّمْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الْغُرْبَةِ؟
