About this listen
Rafat was indiscriminate with brutal honesty,which made him safe and his tails were the talk of the town; however, his storiesmelted away like morning dews, making room for new tails. Rafat became a villagemyth and folk hero, where villagersblamed and contributed lots of stories to him, things he had never said or done.Refat cleansed and mudded the village’s morality fabrics and formed theircollective memories. Refatwas tolerated by the villagers for his venerability and powerlessness. However,he was a mirror of the village’s vices and values, reflecting uncomfortabletruths. It takes a village to raise an idiot, but the real tragedy? Unlike the olddays when people in the village could ignore their fools, in modern days, we don’thave that luxury.
