00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.033
That other once you meet him

2
00:00:03.217 --> 00:00:06.938
he stops to become
the other you know.

3
00:00:06.963 --> 00:00:09.078
And this is what is really strange.

4
00:00:09.103 --> 00:00:14.604
I mean you live,
I don't know how many long years

5
00:00:15.407 --> 00:00:17.807
living with the idea
that there is another.

6
00:00:17.832 --> 00:00:21.133
And this helps you to

7
00:00:21.158 --> 00:00:24.000
helps your ego you know
at a certain level.

8
00:00:24.025 --> 00:00:29.094
But when you meet the other who
stops to become another for you

9
00:00:29.297 --> 00:00:31.767
you discover his beauty

10
00:00:32.072 --> 00:00:35.561
you discover that he is different, yes.

11
00:00:35.561 --> 00:00:42.012
But this is a plus that you add to
your knowledge to the way you live

12
00:00:42.037 --> 00:00:45.815
to your style to your way,
to the way you think

13
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.959
because he is carrying
also his own culture

14
00:00:48.984 --> 00:00:54.953
what he brings as good things
for your own culture too

15
00:00:54.978 --> 00:00:59.692
so you have a larger
culture to select from.

16
00:00:59.717 --> 00:01:07.417
Yes, I was enriched really
by meeting and having now

17
00:01:07.442 --> 00:01:14.518
close friends and the people I work
with who were the other previously.

18
00:01:14.543 --> 00:01:17.058
Now I don't see them any,

19
00:01:17.846 --> 00:01:24.567
I don't look at them as different
as other but people like me

20
00:01:24.592 --> 00:01:28.496
who might add something
new to my life you know.

21
00:01:28.521 --> 00:01:33.652
And at the end I discovered
too late something that

22
00:01:34.606 --> 00:01:37.565
under this flesh we are all red.

23
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:40.166
Our skeletons are all white.

24
00:01:40.191 --> 00:01:45.410
So it's ridiculous the idea is
really ridiculous at the end

25
00:01:45.435 --> 00:01:48.244
once I understood this,

26
00:01:48.269 --> 00:01:55.621
I am not even able to call
myself as a Christian Lebanese

27
00:01:55.646 --> 00:01:59.040
Arab living in the Middle East.

28
00:01:59.065 --> 00:02:01.837
You know I'm part
of humanity you know

29
00:02:01.862 --> 00:02:05.634
and I don't think
that I have any one

30
00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:08.712
I can call other now,
nowadays you know.

31
00:02:08.944 --> 00:02:11.416
Now it's someone who
might be different

32
00:02:11.441 --> 00:02:16.700
but I don't look at him as a danger

33
00:02:16.725 --> 00:02:21.195
or as really something
that I should not deal with

34
00:02:21.220 --> 00:02:24.367
or not at all, no.
