agree  Sam Berner: "still needs" - there is nothing in the text about "craving" (تشوق)
11 mins
  -> Thank you Sam. "Still needs" fits more. I agree.
agree  natasha stoyanova: Well done. Better to change "when" with "while"
25 mins
  -> Thank you. although I used "When" on purpose as I have this personal issue issue with "while": I feel it is over-used! :)
agree  Mohsin Alabdali
