 Are there different ways to express the sadness that flows through our hearts from time to time?

Is it a feeling we're avoiding to feel even if it's there? Are we perhaps afraid to get stuck in it? 

Is that the reason why some people are feeling numb to the worlds first live streamed jenn0side*? 

What does that do with our humanity and the ability to handle emotions?

Are we going to keep going through loss and pain until we learn how to handle sadness and receive its message?

Islam Minyawi speaks from the heart about this delicate topic. Islam works as a Senior data scientist and in his spare time he likes reading, walking, running and yoga

"What is love? Baby don't hurt, don't hurt me, no more..."

Ok, how do we talk about love without using too many cliches? How does it truly feel when we're in a state of love?

Is love a decision or is it an innate spontaneous response?

In Egypt and perhaps other Eastern countries, there's an expression called ¨Westerner´s complex¨ where the person feels as if anything coming from the West is better and more valuable than what the country has.  
Lets listen to what Dr Sherif Kamel has to say about that developed trait or behaviour and if it´s still as prevalent today as it was before.

Dr Sherif is a professor of ophthalmology in Cairo University and a consultant neuro-opthalmologist.

We are social beings. 

How can improving our social Intelligence make us better humans and is it even possible to improve that type of Intelligence ?

Let's listen to what Marwa Lasheen thinks about that. Marwa is a minister plenipotentiary and currently deputy ambassador of Egypt in Moscow. I was lucky to meet her by coincidence when she had her post in Stockholm. We started speaking after watching the same movie in a cinema and have kept in touch ever since.

¨Curiosity killed the cat¨  

(and since I love cats I have to add they have 9 lives)

Is there a flip side to curiosity ? or can it actually help us overcome our fear?

Listen to Ezz Elbendarys reflections on the topic. 

Ezz who currently lives and works as a production manager in Spain, has his own pod called ¨fe de'ii'aa¨ or ¨In one minute¨ 
As you will hear, he has a lot of humour and I would like to give him credit for actually helping me create Mn'albi and navigate the world of pods. Also giving myself credit for as a novice being able to continue the episode despite my slight confusion when Ezz unexpectedly and unknowingly  ¨took the first question¨ I had prepared!
