Down the streets of Cairo

Down the streets of Cairo is a journey of confusion. Craziness.
What seems right can be wrong and what you believe is right is probably wrong.

Every single person is an entire world, a different story.
Some live in a fantasy, others in a nightmare, and the source of both is exactly the same.
Their fantasies have weird starts and their nightmares have the weirdest endings.

They believe in God and religion and oh they so don't.
You go down the streets of Cairo and everyone is preaching love, unity, freedom and faith.
And they all lack love, they all lack unity, they lack freedom and they definitely have almost no faith at all.

They will tell you they know the truth, tell you it is the only truth that exists, though they go back home and question it millions of times.
This is the land of confusion. Seek the truth, seek faith, go down the streets of Cairo ask people about whatever you want, they will give you answers, and they will make you feel you have the ultimate truth.

Now, you will walk back home, having the ultimate truth.
You now think you know Cairo the most, you know how it all works here. You even feel like you know the world, you know god and you understand religion.

That is actually the moment you know Cairo the least, when you understand religion the least. That is the moment when you almost have lost clue what God is.

Never seek understanding here, it is unattainable,  unreachable.
Though don't quit going down the streets, keep walking, follow the lights, till they all fade away, keep walking down the darkest streets and have faith down that very dark street are more lights, crazier and even more exciting.

one thing you should always keep in mind,
The lights...... They mislead as much as they lead.
