As a translator, this newsletter made me very happy. You might have heard about the Arabic word قهر (qahr) but if not, here's a great quote about it...

“The dictionary says “anger” but it’s not. It is when you take anger, place it on a low fire, add injustice, oppression, racism, dehumanization to it, and leave it to cook slowly for a century. And then you try to say it but no one hears you. So it sits in your heart. And settles in your cells. And it becomes your genetic imprint. And then moves through generations. And one day, you find yourself unable to breathe. It washes over you and demands to break out of you. You weep. And the cycle repeats.”

Love, and free Palestine.

In summary, languages are fill with AND full of nuances and are NOT black-and-white. Am I correct?
