The Broken Vows

By Munaa Alfazea

Human nature is based on contradictions and the constant struggle between good and evil. There is no good based on transgressing the humanity of the innocent and violating covenants and oaths among people. A good act, no matter how benevolent it seems, if done by force is no different than any evil.

Acknowledgement

Failure is the greatest teacher and harshest critic. Without failure, none of us would know their true friends and lovers. There are people who come to us in the darkness of life to give us the opportunity to come back again.
