yiswaa

Audio with Theyab's pronunciation

Three words to help navigate today's story are:

Adjective	غبي	ghabii	Stupid
Noun	الحاضر	al-Haadir	The present
Verb	يسوا	yiswaa	It is worth it

We're encouraged to "live in al-HaaDir" but often this is a sure-fire way to make decisions that are completely aghbiyaa. 

So what do you listen to, heart or head? ithnayn-hum might be the answer, or at least one that's vaguely dhakii anyway. The trouble is, how do you know that something yiswaa until you've seen it through? Answer: of course you don't.

I love someone who could be described as "waallah maa yiswaa". All they care about is buukii. I know, they know and everyone knows it but still I can't resist the charm of it all.

Wow, am I ghabii! But when I think of the romantic times, even if they ultimately landed me on a dose of Valium, I know that yiswuun every last bittersweet minute.
