Sonamarg has wild animals; what if these people would just dump my son in the snow and a wild animal takes him away from me?
I cannot trust this country anymore.
++
I cried and cried with his mother, but they didn’t allow us. ++
__This is lanath on us, Allah is watching 💔🥺 how can people be so heartless__
Allah 🤐😔

Near 7:30 pm, I spotted the police vehicle in Sonamarg on the road. I sighed that I reached on time. I asked for permission:
“Can I see my son now?” ++
I held my son’s corpse on a shoulder and started climbing a small hill, covered in snow. It was so dark that I couldn’t see who else shouldered my son, other than my brother, to the grave. ++
The only light bulb in nothingness lightened the grave that wasn’t. It was a pit, dug by JCB. How could I bury my son here, I wondered ++
When the women were crying on the road, I entered the pit and my brother lowered the body. Ather was bleeding a lot; the shroud was stained. ++
They shut the light and asked us to leave. ++

“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”
“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”
4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:
“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”
“What’s end-game here?”
“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”
5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:
“What would the best version of yourself do”?
One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing
