The devil tells a story
It's not important for me to welcome you, and it's not necessary for you to welcome me. Let's agree on what will happen: I am here to write, and you are here to read. It's not necessary for you to like what I say, and I don't have to bother myself with tolerating you, so let's avoid pleasantries. I am a bigoted sheikh of the kind no one likes, and you are a group of curious young people of the kind I don't like. This way, we have distanced ourselves from the hateful formalities that humans insist on using among themselves. I will give you the opportunity to learn more, but not from me, as I suffer from rapid boredom. You will hear everything from them in their own words; they know everything because they saw it with their own eyes. Don't ask me who I am; remember that you are here to listen, not to ask. And if you don't like what you hear, then go and blow your brains out; it won't make a difference to me, just as it wouldn't make a difference to you if my soul were torn from me. So, we've agreed.
