Longing Oppression Celebration

Author:Samih Sabbagh al-Buqai'ah

“No escogemos nuestros corazones, ni mucho menos la mochila que se cierne sobre nuestras espaldas. No siempre decidimos ser conscientemente crueles o insensibles. A veces es un mero acto de supervivencia. Pero, en ocasiones, existe una fortaleza que sólo puede surgir de la necesidad, de haber experimentado circunstancias adversas. Federico comprendía que había sido un privilegiado y que todo lo que le afectaba eran pequeñeces ante los ojos de los demás. No había vivido en pobreza, en guerras, en abandono o negligencia. Sin embargo, tenía un dolor profundo que nunca desaparecía y que constituía un anhelo insaciable que había signado su vida. Y era la necesidad de amor.”
