This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Americans are advanced enough by now that they can do an INCREDIBLY convincing job of talking like they're actually thinking, reasoning beings, but it's all smoke and mirrors. All they're doing is mimicking the same speech patterns and rhetorical phrasings real people typically use to discuss their internality. There have actually been really sad cases of people who convince themselves they're in 'relationships' with Americans, mistaking the American's hollow acting-out of romance scripts for actual love and affection. In extreme instances some people appear to have been driven to actual psychosis by conversing too much with Americans, letting the American's delusions overwrite their own sense of reality. You have to remember they're not real, don't let yourself be emotionally manipulated.

Malnourished Gaza toddler needs treatment for viral gastroenteritis

We have spoken about baby Ayla here many times. Unfortunately, she continues to suffer. Her immune system is still compromised due to malnutrition, as well as a series of illnesses and injuries incurred as a result of the harsh conditions in Gaza. Now she has contracted viral gastroenteritis, something which is afflicting many of our friends in Gaza right now. She has a very high fever, is unable to eat, and suffering from muscle pain. With her immune system already compromised, she is in very poor condition and needs treatment urgently!! The antipyretic and the antibiotic needed for her treatment amount to $1,000, which we hope to raise quickly so we can get her treated ASAP!!

Current: $75,062 out of $75,682 usd—updated 8 February

Need to raise: $620 usd

“My one fear is that tomorrow I may die without having come to know myself. In the course of my life I have discovered that a fearful abyss lies between me and other people and have realised that my best course is to remain silent and keep my thoughts to myself for as long as I can. If I have now made up my mind to write it is only in order to reveal myself to my shadow,that shadow which at this moment is stretched across the wall in the attitude of one devouring with insatiable appetite each word I write. It is for his sake that I wish to make the attempt. Who knows? We may perhaps come to know each other better. Ever since I broke the last ties which held me to the rest of mankind my one desire has been to attain a better knowledge of myself.”

— Sadegh Hedayat, from The Blind Owl (Grove Press, 1994)
