On Valentine’s Day
By Hossam Badrawi

To all those who fill our lives with warmth, beauty, and serenity.

I do not believe that love is confined to a single day in the year, nor that it is a gift to be bought or a flower to be given and then wither away. Love, to me, is that feeling that continues to grow in the heart every day. It is the kind word spoken with sincerity, the gentle touch that reaches the soul before the body.

I believe that love is both giving and receiving—that we give, and in doing so, we find more of ourselves when we offer a part of who we are to another.

Love is having someone in our lives who understands us before we even speak, who sees our beauty even when we believe we are not at our best.

As for me, today and every day, I celebrate the fact that I love and am loved.

I love not because today is a day for love, but because love itself is the celebration—it is the secret of life, its light, and its source of strength.

To those who dwell in the heart and give life its meaning, love is not just a day to be celebrated, nor an occasion that ends when the day is over.

Love, as Gibran said, gives nothing but itself, takes nothing but from itself, does not seek to possess, but is content simply with being.

And so is my love… I ask nothing from the one I love except that she remains as she is.

Love may sometimes wound us, but these wounds are merely gentle reminders that we are alive, that we are growing, that we love sincerely.

And how beautiful love is when it intertwines with friendship.

I do not seek to possess love; rather, I wish for it to be a light that fills the heart, a hand that reaches out when needed, a silence that speaks when words fail.

I want us to walk together, not because we need each other, but because we choose to be together—every day, every moment. And it does not matter if that is only physical, but rather in every way.

To me, love is both destiny and choice.

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
