“Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth.

Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.” MindDoeLyingPassionDifferencesCircumstancesCivilizationHatredInstitutionsPassionateCivilizedSavagesSavagery Author:Carl von Clausewitz
“Everest is regarded as one of, if not the most challenging of human conquests. I was passionate about climbing and a great believer that one should always challenge their own perception of where their boundaries lie.

The desire and pride of representing my country and raising the Egyptian flag on the highest points on earth has been with me ever since.” IfsWorldShouldHumansHas BeensCountryFeelingsEarthLyingDesireChallengesPrideGrewPerceptionHighestStrongerPassionateBelieverI RealizedBoundariesClimbingFlagsRoofIrrationalConquestRepresentingEgyptianEverestWholeheartedly Author:Omar Samra
