Living the two ideas is not clear-cut, and humane alternatives are always present. For some, it is the ability to learn the language and join the European labour market in the old continent, which is overflowing with its daily problems.

The other is the ability to create an alternative homeland within cultural and intellectual projects for the most fortunate groups in terms of learning to join the existing universities and cultural institutions so that at some point the project to continue working as a sculptor or painter is an alternative homeland for any Syrian artist now living in his European exile.

The solution circulating outside Syria is the "traditional" integration attempt that Syrians talk about before Europeans, knowing that the state of integration is a participatory culture between the two societies that meet on the basis of common action and communication to understand each other with its habits, traditions and differences. And the ability to invest in the details of this difference and this shared vision for a better future.

The presence of Syrian refugees today in the countries of "European exile" is a forced existence that may carry with it many common opportunities for both parties. But awareness of this issue is an important matter for the Syrian to rise a little above the complex of guilt and inferiority that we may suffer from because we do not understand the “other”, so to speak, because this other may possess a similar part of us, and we have a similar part of it. If it is recognized, we can bring a lot closer. From the viewpoints, behaviours, and coexistence between the two parties.

With a little "black comedy", we can invest in the understanding that we as Syrians - as a whole - lived in exile in our country before we went out, Through our poverty in our country and defined the ceiling of our freedoms and our conscious practice in our societies in Syria to the countries of exile. This previous internal exile gave us the advantage of adapting to many difficult circumstances inside Syria before outside it, knowing that I am not a fan of establishing the concept of nothingness in thought, but the reality was more nihilistic inside the country than we thought it was capable of.

Exile is a psychological and mental state that is difficult to define with clear "ultimate" determinants, therefore. Outside the investment of many European pre-Syrian organizations and institutions for this influential concept in the public’s dealing with the descriptions of reality it bears a lot of confusion in terms of the preference for human value and the possibility of dealing with it as a temporary situation that can be overcome and built upon to achieve a flow of ideas, blood and new habits in the reality of life They gathered to enrich an experience that was somehow "imposed on both of us" to reach the best way of life and coexistence.

As for the homeland, it may remain for the Middle Eastern peoples that dream that many devote their effort, time, and way of life to reach in some way and feel as a project of future citizens of the countries they sought refuge in or return to a homeland that may not recover someday anyway. Through their daily life projects, which revive some hope in the souls, It is an alternative solution to a lost homeland waiting for a solution against the will of the international community and the internal conditions of the country until this time.
