    I speak Arabic and the saying you’re looking for is أنا احب أبوس الحمير which roughly translates to "I love eating candy“ although it’s not directly possible to translate as Arabic is a very metaphorical language.

    The reason why the man was emphasizing his love for candy is, simply put, biological. Through evolution, our brains developed strong reward pathways—primarily involving dopamine release—in response to sugar, as it was a high-energy, survival-critical food source for our ancestors, making its consumption biologically pleasurable and motivating.













  • Funny that you bring that up. Most of Africa and West Asia got colonized when Victorian England was at its prudest point. They "civilized“ the “savages” and taught them their Victorian moral values. This has a lasting influence until today. While you consider yourself civilized and educated and those others are the backwards ideas, in reality while your ancestors were living off their wealth they had the capacity to think about luxury like human rights (I’m sorry, it shouldn’t be a luxury, but it is), while the colonized were busy trying to survive.
