At a pivotal moment in history, the Middle East stands as a corpse that has not yet been buried. An entire region is eroding culturally, morally, educationally, security, politically and economically.

Because every tragedy begins with reason, the tragedy of this land began when it decided to resign from critical thinking, and to devote its existence to wars and conflicts, rather than building man.

The Middle East is in a declining stage culturally, morally and educationally, and this affects the reality of the people of the region.

They have been thrown through a time gate into an abyss where displacement and fragile tents, high unemployment and famine rates, disease and wastewater mixed with water, with no ability to return.

But is this the best reality that can be given to man?

The equation is simple: tell me where you invest yourself, your mind, your thought, your energy, less your reality.

Preoccupation with wars and conflicts has led to the economic, security, political, service, social, educational and health collapse of many countries, in addition to the existence of major obstacles and challenges facing the development of civil society in this region, in addition to the administrative corruption already nested in its structures, the lack of a healthy environment to respect and accept party pluralism and respect for the entire societal components of countries, religious, sectarian, faith, ideological and intellectual differences, and the absence of a critical and analytical philosophy in raising and addressing issues, all of which led them to destruction and hell.

The catastrophe is not only in the decline of the educational system and the fragility of the curriculum, but also in the absence of critical thought from the general culture and the man in the street.

You cannot tell me that the Arab person is trained in thinking, creativity and criticism; educational systems and cultural structures have relied for decades on indoctrination, ready-made templates and repetition, until there is intellectual calcification in societies and populist discourse has spread in them. These peoples were not allowed to ask questions, but were raised fearful of asking such questions.

Unfortunately, for a long time, religious, sectarian and intellectual pluralism has been considered a charge, difference a crime, and dreaming of freedom and rights a deviation.

Nothing compares to investing in education, thought, health and service sectors, nothing compares to positive investment in the development of human beings, they are the backbone of countries and societies, so it is important to provide an environment that allows individuals to prosper and dream and achieve conditions that help them prolong their lives and provide them with a better quality of life, and harness tools to serve their comfort and stability, and think about reforming and developing their physical, psychological, intellectual, mental and value health. Otherwise, in other possibilities and other ways, all that will grow is more sterility in societies, people have no food except from shrines and zaqqum, they have no food except intimate and pus.

Those who have long warned of hell and its food and torment, their fears are embodied in their reality. There is no hell greater than this great abyss.

As for thinking about solutions, there is no magic solution, but man must resort to his wisdom, his mind, and the purity of his heart, to resort to his values and ethics and to just laws in order to build upright societies.

It is important to start investing in peace, stability and logic, not hatred, fanaticism, takfir and conflicts.

The Middle East, in its final abyss, has built the walls of its hell of ignorance, superstition, intimidation, oppression and fanaticism, and will be destroyed only by the light of knowledge, wisdom and rationality.
