"Bruise: The Lingering Marks of Life's Battles" In a world scarred by violence, the aftermath of a suspected suicide bombing leaves behind a damaged house, its walls bearing witness to the devastating impact on a wedding celebration. Amidst the chaos, life continues in quieter corners. A farmer proudly displays his hand, calloused and bruised from tirelessly harvesting wheat on Qalyub farm, and is a testament to resilience and hard work amidst adversity. Love can sometimes be turbulent too, as depicted in a comic postcard from the 20th century. A married couple fights passionately, their words leaving emotional bruises that may take time to heal. Yet they are not limited to physical wounds; they can also manifest in our souls. Engraved in history is the curse pronounced upon Eve after her transgression - an eternal mark reminding us of human fallibility. But there are those who embrace bruises willingly - like Martin The Boxer who steps into the ring with determination and courage despite knowing he will face punches that leave visible marks on his face. War-torn Syria has witnessed countless innocent victims carrying invisible scars within them - Syrian Children II bear these unseen bruises yet display remarkable strength and resilience against all odds. Anger can also catapult us into situations where we inflict harm upon ourselves or others. Catapult anger leaves behind deep emotional wounds that require healing and understanding for reconciliation. History reveals intriguing tales of individuals marked by fate's cruel hand. Soeur Pierrette Toussaine Blondeau captured in an unknown artist's painting at Hospices de Beaune bears witness to her own personal battles etched onto her weary face during 1845-50. The artistry of Thomas Rowlandson showcases society's fascination with violence as he depicts "Six Stages of Marring a Face" in May 29, 1792 – revealing both our morbid curiosity and repulsion towards brutality.
