I chose 50 people whose experiences I lived through, whether through the interviews I conducted or the long dialogues through the “Bassat Qalam” program that I presented on Sama Dubai Channel, or through their books that I read and were influenced by. I presented to you a summary of what I read of their ideas and philosophy, and before you sail with me, I want to say that There are other strong personalities, without a doubt, and many that I did not write about, and they deserve to be written about, but I chose these personalities because I lived through their experience closely, and they were 50 Emirati personalities that I present to my dear country (the UAE is in its fiftieth year).
This collection presents views from different wars that the writer's generation either witnessed and was a victim of, or fought in. It extends from the June defeat, which was beautified by calling it “the setback,” through all the other wars that did not end with the last war taking place now. The stories presented in this collection present different humanitarian situations experienced by the person of war, in which Syria has become something of a practical laboratory for it due to the large extent to which its people have suffered from the scourges of war. It includes the suffering of a child of war who was uprooted from his home and his childhood playground to begin a departure that most likely will not end with a return. The child of war who was accustomed to it and lived with it later to become a victim of a different kind; When the fragments allocated for killing turn into monetary wealth created by his innocent mind, and then he becomes an element in this war, this time being a victim in the form of a fighter, circumstances force him to be placed between two options (either the killer or the killed). The stories of all the world will not be sufficient to express the horrors and suffering that man experiences in wars. These stories are a simple example of them in the form of samples from different stages. Unfortunately, it seems that this notebook will remain open indefinitely, and more tragic stories will join its pages, because the experience It has proven that the tragedy on our land takes escalating forms and generates pain that grows more every day. It seems from the scene in which the events take place that we will experience all forms of pain.
