"Every footstep leaves a mark, just like every soul leaves a story behind." We learn best through stories and narrations that we explore and enjoy. 'I is for Ithar' is a collection of fictional short stories and poems written in a fable-like manner. They are established upon core principles and messages that transcend time and place. 'Ithar' is an Arabic word which means to prefer something over oneself for the greater good - an act of selflessness. So even though we are all individuals in this world, it's through our selfless acts for others that we leave our mark in this life. 'I' is not about us; it's about the trace we leave behind for others.
