"Mine-ing" is an attribute common to all species, be it human or animal, every one and every thing wants to have something; this something they could flaunt to others which they consider their own. Moreover, this attribute don't just come-out naturally for anyone or anything needs it, rather it comes out since their is such a strong need for it.
A need is a construct, a convenient fiction or hypothetical concept, which stands for a force. In the brain region, a force which organizes perception, apperception, intellection, conation and action in such a way as to transform in a certain direction an existing, unsatisfying situation (Murray, 1938, pp. 123-124). . .
Guests on the Sea, a poem by Mahmoud Darwish, speaks about the dilemma of every Palestinian. It narrates their journey and their quest towards liberation. The guests as referred in the poem, are the Palestinians; to be a guest means to be distinguished visitor to whom the hospitality of an institution, a city, or government is extended. Same as the Palestinians, they are simply valued guests for they are just settlers of the land and never the owners of it. The sea, as used as the setting to situate the story symbolizes the land in which the Palestinians would want to call their own. A land that would never be bounded by all means, a land that would be free from any other dominion but theirs, just like the sea.
. . . a need is sometimes provoked directly by internal processes of a certain kind, but more frequently, when in a state of readiness, by the occurrence of one of a few commonly effective press of environmental forces (Murray, 1938, pp. 123-124). . .
This longing of the Palestinians to have their own territory came from their need to have and establish their own identity. Just like all the other countries that were given sovereignty, they should be given as well. The right to take control of their own people, people living in their own land, people fed with the food harvested from their own land.
. . .Thus, it manifests itself by leading the organism to search or to avoid encountering or, when encountered, to attend and respond to certain kinds of press. Each need is characteristically accompanied by a particular feeling or emotion and tends to use certain modes to further its trend (Murray, 1938, pp. 123-124). . .
And with this great motivational force, the Palestinian would do whatever it takes just so they could be the masters of their people. Even if they would degrade their value into a mere object (i.e woman has her first task:seduction) because of being overly desperate (i.e poets fall from melancholy). They are as ready as the martyrs to be above their graves just so they could follow their reverie (i.e martyrs to explode in dream) even if it takes them to lead their youth, or even their own children, to fight with them as well in achieving this long-dreamed goal (i.e wise men to lead a people on towards happy dreams).
. . . It may be weak or intense, momentary or enduring. But usually it persists and give rise to a certain course of overt behavior which changes the initiating circumstance in such a way as to bring about an end situation which stills, appeases or satisfies, the organism (Murray, 1938, pp. 123-124).
Thus, with this need to be free from any forms of subordination, Palestinians would rather take the long road, walk the longer journey, just to realize this life-long dream.
