00:30Who is this seventh man and why is he called that? The story has no names at all. It has no name. The hero of the story is called the seventh man.
00:40The story begins with someone explaining that it was a big wave, so we know that he is the seventh man, and we understand from the dialogue that there is a group of people sitting
00:58Almost at the doctor's office, each one explains his story or tragedy. He was the last one in the group. There were six of them, and he was the seventh. That's why he was the seventh man.
01:16The one who narrates the story is the doctor himself. Of course, there is no mention of the doctor or anything, but the story is made up of...
01:27The third person who speaks is the one who says the seventh man said so and so, and the seventh man who speaks is pointing to himself, so the first person is the first person.
01:39First person first pronoun I I
01:41He tells the story, saying that when he was ten years old, there was a neighbor of mine, that is, a friend of mine, a student who was one year younger than him, but he was his only friend.
01:54He pointed to him with the letter K, but he did not name him. He pointed to him with the letter K and said that he was younger than him and was weak, physically weak. So he remained the hero of the story, the seventh man.
02:08He was the boy, he was ten years old, he was the strongest body in Banah and he was a year older than him, so he always defended him and protected him against the children who tried to train him or control him.
02:23He used to say that this guy had an extraordinary talent for drawing. He wasn't special in the other subjects, but when it came to drawing, he would say, "Give him a pen and paper, and in a few minutes he can create an amazing painting for you." He had an extraordinary ability to draw.
02:50He had an older brother, at least a year older than him, about six years older.
02:58But the age difference was what created a gap between them. He was the boy, Dot, which is the letter K, let's call it Kaf, for example.
03:09He is his only friend who he spends most of his time with. One day, the radio said that there will be...
03:19There is a hurricane with a typhoon. Typhoon Dot. For those who don't know, it is like the hurricane that occurred in the sea storm.
03:27But the Alexandrian wind certainly knows it, or the ants and people who live on the sea know what a sea wind means.
03:35But this typhoon is something, I mean, because I live in Hong Kong, this typhoon comes every year and it is something destructive, something destructive, I mean, I
03:45I'm recording this episode during a storm in Egypt and heavy rains that have almost flooded the country, but all of this doesn't water anything except the typhoon.
04:01What happens in Hong Kong every year is a typhoon that starts at level three, so be prepared, the typhoon is coming to the beaches.
04:14On the beaches of Hong Kong and Japan, when the typhoon reaches a level of eight, this is the danger.
04:23The danger is that if you are at work, you have to go home. Do not leave your house and stay home until this typhoon passes.
04:32If the typhoon reached level ten, it would be a destructive typhoon. I remember, I think in the year 2000, there was a Typhoon York called York that happened in Hong Kong.
04:45The typhoon was so devastating that even the storms said at the time that it was the most powerful typhoon to hit Hong Kong in perhaps fifty years.
04:54It was around 2000, if I remember correctly.
04:57It means that more than what I remember, Al-Sahf said, were uprooted. More than four thousand trees were uprooted from their roots and destroyed.
05:06It is destroyed and it has been a few months since last December
05:11December or not? Not before December, my God, not before December
05:16How many months ago in 2019 did another typhoon occur? This is more than ten.
05:22Typhoon was a devastating destroyer. I mean, at the time I was in China. When I returned to Hong Kong, I found...
05:29Thousands of trees mean it fell
05:33When there is a typhoon, it is atrophy.
05:37Of course, when it comes to poor countries like the Philippines and Indonesia, it is destructive because it destroys homes, huts, and nests.
05:52The important thing is that we go back to our story. The radio said that a typhoon would happen on the same day.
05:59The family of the boy who is the seventh man, this boy, I mean he was not even ten years old yet, and he is telling the story, and Abdul is forty years old
06:11He says that his mother started cooking a large amount, and his father and older uncles started filling the house with water, preparing food, and closing all the windows, making sure that all the windows were closed well, and that the house...
06:30They sat waiting for the typhoon to come at any moment, and indeed, after a while, the sky began to cloud, meaning to gather, and it began to rain heavily, with thunder and lightning.
06:48And something happens, I mean I tried this talk, so I know, in the sky there is a war happening in the sky from Qatar because of the strength of the thunder
06:58It's like there really is, you can't stand the strength of the thunder, you feel like the house is shaking from the thunder in the sky, the cold, the rain, and something that's difficult to describe.
07:14The important thing is to take a few hours until things calm down. The Typhoon calms down.
07:22But Abu told him that he wanted to go out, meaning to see what happened, and he told him that the Typhoon would come back again.
07:30This typhoon only calms you down for a few minutes, ten minutes, ten minutes, half an hour, until it blows again.
07:40He said to him, "If you want to go out, I can, but don't go far, and as soon as the wind blows, come back home immediately."
07:47He said to him, "Okay." So he went out of the house and found the world very dark. They were near the beach and found the world very dark, with fallen trees and scattered ivory.
08:00He met his friend, who is known by the letter K, and said to him, “I am going to the beach, come with me.”
08:10His friend was not with him. He had a dog, so they walked and went to the beach. Things were very calm, and they saw things scattered on the beach.
08:20And the beach has pictures built by the Beni Suef people so that when the waves come to collide with this picture, it is called breakwater, it is called a barrier or a wall.
08:33Because the waves crash into it and don't sink, they crash into it and return to the sea again, so the houses don't sink.
08:42The important thing is that they crossed this wall, climbed it, and entered the beach.
08:50After a while, the sky started to cloud again. The clouds started to gather.
08:57And while he was talking, he said that suddenly he heard a sound as if it was coming from the depths of the sea, as if someone was belching.
09:07As if the sea is belching
09:09And suddenly he heard a very loud thunder
09:16And he found a wave
09:18That means he knew before the wave came that the typhoon would blow.
09:26He will strike again
09:28Fajr came and he was right at the bank of the water, so he started running towards the wall.
09:36It is a wall on which the waves break
09:39He called his friend because his friend was sitting like this
09:43The curfew on the beach is looking at something specific.
09:48Nada raised her voice with determination, it became the loudest voice he had ever heard.
09:51But they did not hear Fajr towards the wall
09:56Because he was scared
09:58When he heard the sound of thunder
10:00I feel the wind is about to blow
10:04Fear possessed him
10:06So he was left with two options
10:08He greeted his friend and woke him up and told him to stay well.
10:11He is crying and his friend is not listening
10:14The center was in need
10:15He looks like he's playing with something in the sand
10:17Or he saves himself and runs towards the wall.
10:20He was overcome by fear, and he ran towards the wall.
10:24and hid behind the wall
10:27He looked at his friend because his friend was still distracted by the game.
10:33In your game, you are not paying attention
10:35It was only dew on him again
10:38Here his friend paid attention and looked at him
10:41Be careful, there is something wrong
10:43He felt that something was coming from behind him
10:45And he actually looked like the wave was still there
10:48The wave was about three stories high.
10:51Like a three-story house
10:53A very huge and massive wave
10:56He was accused of it
10:58I devoured it
11:00What a huge high wave blew
11:04He became the hero of the story
11:06The child hid behind the wall
11:10Even her spray
11:13Jaeger means they reached behind the same wall
11:16The wave pulled on the second one
11:19So I went out and looked at him
11:21Ten, where is his friend? There is none.
11:24I didn't find it
11:26Even the dog that is with its owner
11:29He himself disappeared
11:31Look right, they are not there
11:34After a while, the wave rose, then it blew again.
11:37And she did
11:38I even came back from the top
11:40I counted the wall, the wall he is hiding behind
11:44He says that the wave, after it passed the wall, reverberated. Look from above at the wave.
11:51He thought he saw his friend
11:56His friend was leaning on his side, looking at him and smiling from ear to ear.
12:04wide smile
12:06His eyes were fixed on him and he extended his hand
12:09Meaning he was leaning on his side and extended his hand wanting to pull him
12:14When the boy saw this, he fainted.
12:18He found himself in the hospital
12:21And he later learned that his neighbor saw him unconscious, so he took him home and then to the hospital.
12:31He discovered that he had been unconscious for three days.
12:36He lived on alcohol for three days.
12:40The important thing is that he left the hospital.
12:43He was of course in a very bad state and felt terrible guilt.
12:48Which doubled his sense of guilt.
12:51Neither his father nor his mother ever asked him about this profession, nor did they scold him or blame him.
12:58Not even his friend's father who died
13:03Or his mother means he never blamed him for anything
13:09But they were all trying to avoid bringing up the subject.
13:16Or talk about him in his presence
13:19So as not to tire him out more
13:22All of this made him feel more guilty.
13:28The important thing is that he asked his father to move him from this city because he was unable to live there any longer.
13:35His father transferred him to a district called Ngannou.
13:41His father's family lived there, so the boy moved to live with his father's family and entered school there.
13:47He attended primary, middle and secondary school until he finished university. He entered the College of Engineering and graduated from the College of Engineering and never visited that city again.
13:59His parents used to visit him in Nakano City in Nakano Prefecture. They used to visit him in Date City.
14:11He didn't live with his father's family
14:14The important thing is that even after graduation, he always had nightmares where he saw his friend Dot in the same situation, drowning, looking at him, smiling, and trying to pull him back in.
14:28He always wakes up from this nightmare terrified, screaming, and sweating. That's why he was always afraid of getting attached to another human being.
14:43Because he could not imagine the idea that there was another person, a woman sleeping next to him, and he would wake up screaming and have a nightmare about the idea that marriage was...
14:57She was unacceptable to him and he was over forty and had not married. These nightmares continued to haunt him from time to time until years passed and his father died, his mother died and his older brother sold the house.
15:15His older brother sold the house. Before he sold the house, he was looking for things. He found a box full of drawings, personal things of his, and full of drawings that his friend had drawn.
15:31His brother was on vacation at the Dot Fund, and his family bought him all the necessary things, as a souvenir for him. At first, he was not able to look at the pictures.
15:46If she carries a memory, of course, it is strong enough for him to carry it, so he thought about throwing away the whole box and cutting the rope and throwing it away.
15:58But he couldn't throw the trays either, so he decided to face her and watch her. So he kept looking at every picture. Every day, he looked at one of his friend's paintings.
16:08He sits in front of the painting for hours, contemplating this painting, every painting. Every day, he contemplates just one painting for hours.
16:18And all this time it was an accident of guilt and an accident that his friend died and he was blaming him and his friend was blaming him for not having done me something like this
16:35But when he started to look at his friend's paintings again, he felt how tender he was, that he was a child and it was not possible that he died while he was upset with him or blaming him for something.
16:51He began to doubt that he had actually seen him, that it was possible that he had imagined that he had seen his body in the wave. It was possible that he had not seen him, that is, he began to doubt the whole matter.
17:06And he became certain that his friend could not have died while blaming him or being angry with him.
17:14He decided to return to the city again for a visit.
17:19Indeed, Adel found that the city had completely changed. The shop, which was a small shop, had almost been transformed into a supermarket.
17:34The only cinema was houses that were turned into garages for cars, and there was a small cinema that was turned into a large supermarket.
17:46Meaning the city has changed, and of course his house is no longer there, and his friend's house is nowhere to be found. Meaning the city is beyond recognition, and nothing else at all.
17:56He walked to the sea, still ignoring the situation and afraid
18:03And he preferred to walk until the water began to touch his feet, then come to his feet, then submerge his feet.
18:12And Kaba Nasr says to her, "The water washed his feet."
18:16He found himself falling into the water, his face submerged in the water, and he was no longer able to get up.
18:25And he stayed in this situation for a long time until he got up and his clothes were very attractive
18:35People looked at her standing in the water, surprised by an old man, meaning someone over forty years old, standing in the water like that.
18:43The important thing is that he did not pay attention to them. He felt that he had overcome the crisis.
18:52He felt that he no longer had this feeling of guilt controlling him.
19:00And he no longer lives in the past like before
19:04Psychologists say about the point
19:08That peace remains means that he is controlled by guilt and lives in the past, which he says about him
19:14He is locked in the past, living in the past.
19:20He went out and was able to free himself from the shackles of the past and the guilt complex.
19:30He began to feel that life was going to change for him.
19:36And to finish the story, let me tell you the last line of the story.
19:42It means a line, it means very beautiful
19:45The translation is huge, there are two translations.
19:48I have two translations, but there is a specific translation from them.
19:53One of them that I really liked was the translator, Jay Rubin.
20:02The translator's name is Jay Rubin.
20:05He holds a PhD in Japanese literature and Japanese language.
20:10The seventh man stayed and told the story to the people around him.
20:17They tell us that what we should be afraid of is fear itself.
20:30But I don't think so.
20:33Then then he puts after a moment he added saying
20:37Fear is already there.
20:42Fear is already there.
20:47It comes to us in many forms.
20:53At different times
20:57And it controls us and overwhelms us with it
21:02But what should we do at that time?
21:09But the most terrifying thing we do at that time
21:14Why fear overwhelms us is to turn our backs on it
21:20And we turn our backs on him
21:23And we close our eyes
21:26We turn our backs on fear and close our eyes.
21:29Why?
21:30Because then
21:32Let's help her if we do this
21:40If we could turn our backs to fear and close our eyes
21:42We will have given away the most precious thing inside us.
21:47And we gave it to that other thing.
21:51For something else
21:53In my case
21:55In my story
21:57This other thing was the wave.
22:02He says that
22:05Fear when it overcomes him
22:07When he saw the high wave
22:09He is a small and smart baby
22:12And the thunder and the wind are terrifying
22:14Fear is all around
22:15My dawn
22:16He turned his back to the waves
22:18And running
22:19save himself
22:21When he did that
22:23He is the wave ladder
22:25The most precious thing to him
22:27The most precious person to him
22:28He is his friend
22:30He says we don't have to do this
22:32When fear comes to us
22:33Fear exists, yes.
22:34Fear has driven us to
22:36Many times
22:38And different forms
22:40The worst thing we do
22:42It is that
22:43When fear comes
22:45Why do we turn our backs?
22:47And we close our eyes
22:48Because if we did that
22:49We will have surrendered to this fear.
22:52Our most precious and determined thing
22:55The story ends like this
22:57Very strong and beautiful story
23:00And it becomes clear to us how
23:04It means one
23:05If he had peoples in blood
23:07towards any human being
23:09How to overcome this people
23:11He faces reality
23:13And he tries to understand him and why he did this and behaved like this and was he really able to?
23:17And could he really?
23:19I mean, he was wondering all his life.
23:23I wonder what if I ran towards his friend
23:25Could I have ruined it?
23:27Otherwise, I would have run away from him and we might both die?
23:30Was there any hope of saving him?
23:32I don't know if there is any hope to save him or not
23:37But in the end it means that
23:40We are required to face reality and try to understand it.
23:43And we are trying to see
23:45Could we have done anything else?
23:49Even if
23:51If there is a chance to remove the rest, we will do this thing
23:54We must do it and change our behavior in the future.
