There is no room for me here. Why don’t I pack up and go? Nothing astonishes these people. They take everything in their stride. They neither rejoice at a birth nor are saddened at a death. When they laugh they say “I ask forgiveness of God” and when they weep they say “I ask forgiveness of God”. Just that. And I, what have I learnt?
