I wish someone would round up all of you evil primitive savages and gas you to death in gas chambers.
SMELLY SAND N*GGERS*.

Im sorry ur living such a miserable life but it does not make it alright to take out ur anger on anyone. I dont know what tf is ur problem ..ppl like u disgust me. ..!!! Calling us evil??.hahaha ha all we need is typical hypocrites like u...ur evil thoughts aint gonna get u anywhere hun...i really wonder how u manage with a disgusting mouth like that...i really wish ur mum spoon fed some manners when she had to wipe ur ass too....
My advice is if ur having problems in life as i can see its miserable already. .talk to a psychiatrist and maybe u might get treated. ..i can see ur mentally ill and have alot of hatred in u so honey if u do find it hard to be nice and talk to ppl nicely ...just shut ur mf mouth and dont speak at all OK? ? No one asked what ur opinion towards us is and no one clearly invited u to this thread..so i suggest u take u nd ur filthy mouth out of this thread becuz this thread aint for ppl who dont know simple rules in life which one of them is TO HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT. ....☺...

Al-Tayeb Salih's Caravan of Life (from Season of Migration):

"The world goes on whether we choose for it to do so or in defiance of us. And I, like millions of mankind, walk and move, generally by force of habit, in a long caravan that ascends and descends, encamps, and then proceeds on its way. Life in this caravan is not altogether bad. You no doubt are aware of this. The going may be hard by day, the wilderness sweeping out before us like shoreless seas; we pour with sweat, our throats are parched with thirst, and we reach the frontier beyond which we think we cannot go. Then the sun sets, the air grows cool, and millions of stars twinkle in the sky. We eat and drink and the singer of the caravan breaks into song. Some of us pray in a group behind the Sheikh, others form ourselves into circles to dance and sing and clap. Above us the sky is warm and compassionate. Sometimes we travel by night for as long as we have mind do, and when the white thread is distinguished from the black we say, 'When dawn breaks the travellers are thankful that they have journeyed by night.' If occasionally we are decieved by a mirage, and if our heads, feverish from the action of heat and thirst, sometimes bubble with ideas devoid of any basis of validity, no harm is done. The spectrers of night dissolve with the dawn, the fever of day is cooled by the night breeze. Is there any alternative?"

الدنيا تسير ، باختيارنا أو رغم أنوفنا . وأنا كملايين البشر ، أسير ، أتحرك بحكم العادة في الغالب ، في قافلة طويلة ، تصعد وتنزل ، تحط وترحل . والحياة في هذه القافلة ليست كلها شراً . أنتم ولا شك تدركون ذلك . قد يكون السير شاقاً بالنهار ، البوادي تترامى أمامنا كبحور ليس لها ساحل . نتصبب عراً . وتجف حلوقنا من الظمأ . ونبلغ الحد الذي نظن أن ليس بعده متقدم . ثم تغيب الشمس . ويبرد الهواء . وتتألق ملايين النجوم في السماء . نطعم ونشرب حينئذ ، ويغني مغني الركب . بعضنا يصلي جماعة وراء الشيخ ، وبعضنا يتحلق حلقات يرقصون ويغنون ويصفقون . وفوقنا سماء دافئة رخيمة . وأحياناً نسري بالليل ما طاب لنا السري ، وحين يبين الخيط الأبيض من الخيط الأسود نقول : (( عند انبلاج الصبح يحمد القوم السري )) . وإذا كان السراب أحياناً يخدعنا ، وإذا كانت رسومنا المحمومة بفعل الحر والعطش تغرر أحياناً بأفكار لا أساس لها من الصحة فلا جرم . أشباح الليل تتبخر مع الفجر ، وحمى النهار تبرد مع نسيم الليل . هل ثمة وسيلة أخرى غير هذه؟

I think this is the best line he said, and it resonates with me:
إنني أريد أن آخذ حقي من الحياة عنوة.أريد أن أعطي بسخاء
I want to take my right from this life by brute force(to me it means hard work and sweat, ya3ni nothing comes free for you), and I want to be given generously( the greedy nature of mankind always wanting/expecting more.
