Another thing is, my same aunt, who was super obsessed with cleanliness, would... insists on not going to sleep before washing the dishes. And I would always tease her and say, what, you're just gonna give them the house clean? You can leave it dirty so they have to clean it up.

is that of the powerless victim, is that of the person who only weeps. Israeli propagandists, for example, will show pictures on Twitter of a house in Gaza, and they'll be like, look, this house has windows.
