When I read the book "አለመኖር"... It was after "የተቆለፈበት ቁልፍ" ... So I had a very much expectation but before I know the whole thing the book is abt to end. I was like that was it.
But it has a good stuffs in it.

Among the many sayings we hear repeatedly, one of them is:
“A true friend is the one who is there for you during hard times.”
But is it always true?
Sometimes, even toxic "friends" can imitate this behavior. The Germans have a term for this: Schadenfreude — it refers to the act of extracting pleasure from someone else's loss, failure, misfortune, or downfall.
These people view the world (including their own friends) through a lens of comparison.
When your performance is lower than theirs in a certain area, they’ll eagerly share their success.
They fixate on the perceived inferiority of others — especially the truth that threatens to make them feel insecure — and they try to fabricate a version of reality where they feel superior.
Because of their deep internal insecurity, and their belief that they have failed in life, when they see that you seem to be succeeding or progressing, it makes them uncomfortable.

Being overly concerned about making everyone happy drains your energy and diminishes your authenticity.
Happiness is their responsibility, not yours.
Instead of bending over backward to make others feel good, focus on being honest and true to yourself.

If you have power...
If you have power,
Yes, you can afford to eat until you’re full.
But one day, like Sweden’s King Adolf Fredrick,
Your stomach might rupture from overeating—
And death won’t spare you.
If you have power,
You can say, “Anyone who touches me shall die.”
But think again—
One day, like Thailand’s Queen Sunanda Kumariratana,
You might drown in water,
Caught between life and death,
With no one to save you.
Remember, she was once called “The Wrecked Queen.”
If you have power,
Like Mexican General Santa Anna,
You can declare a national day of mourning
Just because your leg was amputated.
But in the end,
Opponents may dig up your amputated leg from its grave,
Drag it through the streets,
And chant: “Death to the cripple!”
If you have power,
Like the Roman Emperor Caligula (Gaius),
You can make your horse a senator.
But be warned—
One day, enraged conspirators may stab you over 30 times.
(Gaius was the first Roman emperor to be assassinated.)
If you have power,
Like the Hungarian noblewoman Elizabeth Báthory,
You can bathe in the blood of virgins
To try to preserve your youth.
But in the end...
(Elizabeth Báthory is remembered as one of history’s most murderous women.)

Greatness is joyful! Greatness inspires awe! There have been great peoples—like the ancient Persians!
They don’t like being asked, “Are you Arabs?”
It annoys them!
They respond firmly:
“…We are not Arabs. We are Persians!”
Without them, ancient history would be incomplete! They are one of the ancient peoples with thousands of years of history!
Mathematics is said to have flowed from them,
Medicine with its bitterness was given to them,
They were masters of astronomy and physics,
Chemistry was in their hands,
They were pioneers of architecture and construction!
Religion, philosophy, and science all flourished through them!
The ancient religion Zoroastrianism is theirs!
Around 2,500 years ago, these people had a king named Cyrus the Great!
His empire spanned Asia, parts of Europe, and North Africa!

This king is known by the noble noscript “King of Mercy.”
When he expanded his empire, he didn’t enslave captives!
While U.S. President Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery only 158 years ago, Cyrus had already ended slavery 2,500 years earlier—he was a king with a throne of justice!
While expanding his empire, he ensured the cultures, languages, and values of the conquered peoples were preserved and respected!
This king is mentioned extensively in the books of Isaiah, Ezra, and Daniel!
In the Bible, he is the only non-Jew referred to as “anointed by the Lord.”
It is even said he freed the Jews from Babylonian captivity!
Oh Lord! Who do these ancient Persians resemble today?
They are the modern Iranians!
