A Show I Enjoy

What's up, Canterlot?

I've just discovered that an Arabic TV Show that I used to watch back home has finally been subtitled and uploaded on Youtube.

I'm freaking out. :!:

It's based on the historic leader Umar, who was one of the most powerful and influential Muslim rulers in history and very well known for his acts of justice and leadership.

It's the biggest show an Arab production has ever made and is standing pretty high in reviews.

Anyway, so I stumbled upon one thing he said that I found very interesting. At this point of the show he's a young man, a camel herder no less. But still so thoughtful and sharp with his thoughts, and it's no surprise he ended up a leader when he used to think like this at such an age.

"In the open, life gives you clarity of thought, sharper eyesight, purer feelings and unhindered nature. As for the camels; well, when you deal with them like I did, you will realize that they need proper management.

You will soon be able to identify them as individuals; each having its own temper, manners, needs and abilities. Each joins its herd, but no two camels are identical. When you are fully aware of this, you manage them as a herd, but you look after them as individuals. You will be as kind to them as a mother to her offspring. While this applies to camels, it is more clearly applicable to people. Their life cannot flourish unless they have leaders to manage their affairs. Whoever rebels will perish. A wolf only attacks a lone sheep. If people stick together, each will have his own personality and intellect. They will pursue their individual ways, interests and what is determined for them. None can totally replace another. Had it not been so, people would not need one another. None would need what someone else has. Thus, being together is the means of maintaining their individuality...and their differences bring them together." - Umar

I like the soundtrack too. It's like a tasty chicken burger in the form of sound to satisfy my ears. :)
