Mahmoud Darwish, Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (trans. Ibrahim Muhawi) [ID'd]

on context: "[set during] the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the shelling of Beirut [...] Memory for Forgetfulness is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. What is the meaning of exile? What is the role of the writer in time of war? What is the relationship of writing (memory) to history (forgetfulness)?" (source)

In Arabic, the word ذنب is used to describe both a sin and a tail, because they have the same nature: they both follow you wherever you go.

The Arabic language has it’s own philosophy.

Why are you beating yourself over things you can’t control? Breathe. Even if everything is in pieces now, that doesn’t mean they won’t come back together.

“Sufyān ath-Thawrī رحمه الله تعالى said: “Do not speak about three things: ١. Sins. ٢. Good deeds. ٣. Pain. This is true patience.””
