Threshold of Pain: A Novel in Five Scenes and Many Sights
Pain does not fit man s humanity; death is more beautiful, more appropriate. But is the choice between pain and death a fair one? Are painkillers the solution?
I think it s likely that this is the true central point around which the novel revolves. It is a warm dialogue between man possessed by this sort of pain, produced and protected by injustice such that hopelessness might prevail in approaching the idea of society/watan; that the idea of historiography instead take its place as a bearer of the question of whether pain is useful; and that a separation from this tale of Sisyphean outcomes take place and reality, with its gloomy construction of outcomes more dangerous still. Ridding oneself of pain, after all, necessitates measures totally incompatible with the available forms of treatment treatment that preserves the existence of pain while merely increasing one s abilities to bear it.

A story written by looking on the damascus streets and what are change in the hearts and minds of people by all the violent attaks that we already seen by the news
