I was sitting with a group of fellow intellectuals and we where debating the finer essence of belief, when one of the brothers said that he belies that dying for what you believe in is true courage. Idiris turns to me and asks
"Hey Bilal are you willing to die for what you believe in?"
Everyone looks at me already knowing my stance on dying and how little it means to me. A smile forms upon my face and I look deep into those astonishing blue eyes of his (he is one of the very few Arabs I know that has naturally blue eyes, even though his parents both have hazel eyes) and reply.....
"Many people have died for their beliefs yaqee; it's actually quite common, a grin appears on my face, the REAL courage is living and suffering for what you believe in."
I was in class with Maria and Laila, both of whom where recalling all these embarrassing events that have happened to me (which im naturally not going to repeat). As the giggle and laugh about it I try reading about Sigmin Freud but all that is running through my head is how people have an annoying habit of remembering things they shouldn't.....
