Devam etmeden önce Afganistan'la ilgili başka şeyler de anlatır mısın?
Ne gibi?
Annenle, arkadaşlarınla ya da akrabalarınla ilgili şeyler. Örneğin köyünün nasıl olduğu...
Onlardan bahsetmek istemiyorum, mekanlardan da bahsetmek istemiyorum. Bunun bir önemi yok.
Neden?
Önemli olan olaylardır, hikayelerdir. İnsanın hayatını değiştiren şey yaşadıklarıdır, mekanlar ya da insanlar değil.

Denizde Timsahlar Var, Fabio Geda

"The waitress came and I ordered breakfast. I watched someone at the next table working away at his plate of ham with eggs. I had long since come to the conclusion that man's treatment of God's creatures makes mockery of his ideals and of the whole alleged humanism. In order for this overstuffed individual to enjoy his ham, a living creature had to be raised, dragged to its death, stabbed, tortured, scalded in hot water. The man didn't give a second's thought to the fact that the pig was made of the same stuff as he and that it had to pay with suffering and death so that he could taste its flesh. I've thought more than once that when it comes to animals, every man is a Nazi. Yes, I had always felt these things, but that morning they literally hit me on the head like a hammer. That morning I realised for the first time what a horrible hypocrite I was." 

The Penitent, Bashevis Singer
