Wishes Do Not Die by Abdullah Hamad is a unique book, distinct from traditional prose. As you turn its pages, you forget it is a narrative text due to the lyrical and emotional language that distances itself from monotonous events. It feels like a garden with diverse flowers in color and scent, featuring poetic-like moments that transport you among the fragile segments of society, which the author calls "Boundless Emotionals."

These individuals await wishes that never die. Their suffering increases despite their simple dreams, burdened by their dependence on others. They endure sadness and pain due to their sensitivity, waiting for a simple word from others to bring joy and relief.

Each person sees themselves as alone in misery due to attachment, forgetting that many like them exist behind closed doors, possibly uttering their words, as if they are their other half. Searching can reveal that they are nearer than imagined.

The book also explores friendship, an old yet evolving concept, which can merely become history between people. Pride corrodes friendships, preventing expressions of longing, sadness, and inquiries, reducing friendship to a page in a book, willingly turned by both parties as indifference sets in.

Each party puts effort into ending rather than preserving it, though simplicity could have sweetened it.
