“The real impostor doesn’t just lie to others—he creates himself. And sometimes, he even believes it.” — Jean-Bertrand Pontalis.

Yet, behind the ...

‘Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way:’ Myth or Reality?

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way” – most of us have grown up hearing it, whether at home, in school, or later in the workplace.

It implies that sheer willpower ...

Love Bombing: Irresistible Pull of Excess

In digital culture as in everyday language, love bombing is quite literally a “bombardment of love.” The term describes a seduction phase in which someone is overwhelmed with attention, declarations, and conspicuous displays of interest (streams of messages, unexpected gifts, sudden plans, sweeping promises). It is less the passion or joyful ...

Silence in Psychoanalysis: What the Absence of Words Reveals

Some silences are deafening, heavy, cutting through, and freezing the space around them. Others, by contrast, open a gap, suspending the flow of speech like a hand gently soothing a wound.

Barrack's Glaring Error on Syria and Lebanon

U.S. envoy Tom Barrack keeps warning that Lebanon will be “reabsorbed” into Syria unless Hezbollah is disarmed, a historically unfounded threat from someone who derides the Sykes-Picot boundaries as colonial nonsense yet treats Syria’s borders as sacrosanct.

I Didn’t Choose to Love Fayrouz

I didn’t choose my name, and I didn’t choose to love Fayrouz. In our home, loving Fayrouz was a heritage, a love passed down like a family secret. My name, borrowed from one of her songs—as my father proudly reminded me—bound me to her in a way I couldn’t escape. And I knew it from the very start, from the moment I could speak: “I am ...
