its better to sit and observe first to get correct understanding of a situation. i could have just came right out and said what i had to say but why not try and understand the POV of another. lately i'm more interested in why people say what they do, not so much WHAT they are saying...

*read some of my other posts* i'm the last one to hold his tongue (wrath is my specialty)


(((((SCENE FROM AMISTAD)))))

Baldwin(white man): "I said it! I said it! But I shouldn't have. Now what I should have said..."

Translator: "I can't translate that. I can't translate SHOULD."

Roger Baldwin: "You mean there's no word in Mende for SHOULD?"

Translator: "No, either you do something or you don't don't do it."

Roger Baldwin: "What I said to you before the judgment is ALMOST how it works, ALMOST..."

Cinqué (Sengbe): "What kind of place is this?!? Where you almost mean what you say?!? Where laws almost work?!? How can you live like this?!?"
