I once heard a salutation (attributed to the Bedouins) I still admire despite not knowing if it is true or not. That salutation, made as I imagine it between strangers in the desert:
I salute you and I thank you for your life.In my mind, it is a handsome way of being.
Such a statement has to be given context.
ReplyDeleteit’s probably the Books I’ve read, and the TV Shows and Movies I’ve watched, but I see a desert scene. One in which the guy who received the salutation is murdered for some property. The murderer like any good sociopath says afterwards, “Idiot! He should have realized this was going to happen.”
Makes me wonder where the Arab hate comes from.
