I think we would be better off tearing our own heads off and feeding them gingerly to swans than copying the poems of Rumi in a language that -effectively smears them with excrement just by existing- and thinking ourselves erudite, sophisticated, or even anything other than simply stupid.

Seriously.

It’s like quoting Shakespeare in language comprised of sounds emitted by snot bubbles.

Please, don’t be idiots about Rumi. I know it’s almost impossible for some 87% of the Western fb population. But try. Harder, too.
