        someone who cares about someone else represents lives value. You could consider yourself a stone but if you're in your friends hand you might feel like an apple something greater than a stone

        no matter how cheap or worthless a gift may be (or seem), if it comes from the hand of a loved one, it will still hold great value.

        Regardless of how awkward their actions may seem, a close friend or relative always mean well in the end.

        someone who cares about someone else represents lives value. You could consider yourself a stone but if you're in your friends hand you might feel like an apple something greater than a stone. This means people from morocco care about their people.
