“Yabancı Yarim (Sonnet 2701) Yabancı olarak doğmak ayıp değil, ama yabancı olarak ölmek en büyük lanettir. To be born as foreigner is normal, but to die as foreigner is animal. To salute the flag is just as animal as burning a flag, to obey the scripture blind is just as savage as burning a scripture. Delegational democracy is just as undignified as autocracy, blind abidance of law is just as primitive as anarchy. I look after the world as family, so the world may look after my family, when I'm not there - that's the kind of blind faith that actually makes a difference. To curse is animal, to console, human. If you must be blind, be blind in tolerance.” — Abhijit Naskar
Yabancı Yarim (Sonnet 2701)
Yabancı olarak doğmak ayıp değil, ama
yabancı olarak ölmek en büyük lanettir.
To be born as foreigner is normal,
but to die as foreigner is animal.
To salute the flag is just
as animal as burning a flag,
to obey the scripture blind is just
as savage as burning a scripture.
Delegational democracy is just
as undignified as autocracy,
blind abidance of law is just
as primitive as anarchy.
I look after the world as family,
so the world may look after my family,
when I'm not there - that's the kind of
blind faith that actually makes a difference.
To curse is animal, to console, human.
If you must be blind, be blind in tolerance.
