Quotes ja 目を閉じて、じっと我慢。怒ったら、怒鳴ったら、終わり。それは祈りに近い。憎むは人の業にあらず、裁きは神の領域。－そう教えてくれたのはアラブの兄弟たちだった。 “Closing my eyes and holding still. It’s the end if I get mad or scream. It’s close to a prayer. Hate is not for humans. Judgment lies with God. That’s what I learned from my Arabic brothers and sisters.”-- translated by Associated Press, cited in The Guardian and Telegraph. Literal Translation: "Closing one's eyes and enduring. If one becomes angry, if one yells, that's the end. It's akin to a prayer. Hate is not for humans. Judgement lies with God." So my Arabic brothers told me.
