I remember a gent telling me I would never understand the Arab wordl because I didn't think like an Arab,
I asked him how an Arab thinks and this is what he told me.
"It's not over until you lose, and you don't lose until you die"
It made me realize that to some people, life deals only setbacks, not defeat. Some people simply do not give up.
I was 19, it changed my perspective on a lot of things.
NOTE: The above conversation was related to a discussion about Arabs, not Muslims. If it offends you, please be offended on the basis of race, not religion. Thank you.
