The first time Hagar finds herself lost and afraid in the desert she has run away from her mistress. At that time, God answers her plea, and she exclaims, "You are El Ro'i . . ." (Gen. 16:13). Hagar calls God "the One who looks upon me" and names the well where she sits accordingly: Be'er-lachai-ro'i, "Well of the One who looks upon me." What is it that God sees? Rabbi Aybu said that this kind of seeing means: You identify with the embarrassment of those who have been insulted and humiliated ( B'reishit Rabbah 45).
Rabbi Zoë Klein

TERRIBLE
Marco, watching Mackie Hand classic on the TV, softly muttering the lines: "You can try to crush my soul as much as you like, but a fighter always gives his all!"
Tom: Man, you weren't kidding when you said it was your favorite.
Star: You think that's crazy? You should see him dance to "Boogie Beatdown".
Tom: The musical written by Mackie Hand?
Star: Yeah! Marco's got the choreography down to a science!
Hekapoo, entering from a portal: Het, guys, what's-?
Marco, softly repeating: "I'm sorry, Lady of the Sun, but this brave warrior heart of mine belongs to the fist!"
Hekapoo, smirking: So that's where that line's from. And here I thought you actually had the charm all on your own.
Jackie: He still has charm. Just not a lot of confidence.
Hekapoo: Honey, he has confidence. You just don't see it here.
Marco, muttering still: "And so, our heroic epic ends, but another will begin." (Credits play) Yes, Tom, I wasn't kidding. Yes, Star, because I see the funky rhythms as a way to keep my balance and agility on point. Thank you, Jackie, I think. Hekapoo, we don't need to discuss the Neverzone. And Eclipsa, I told you dinner would be at six, so stop snacking at four thirty!
Eclipsa, mouthful of chocolate candies: Wha? Ez e-aybu!
Marco: It is not pre-gaming! It's spoiling your appetite!
Janna, walking through a portal: And this my hou-! Oh, wait, this isn't mine! ...Yet.
Jackie: Uh, hey, Janna? Who are you talking to?
Janna: My new friend!
Ocram: OCRAM!
Marco: Ugh! Not again! This is, like, 5th one!
Janna: It'd be the last one if you quit pushing them into the Neverzone!
Hekapoo: WHAT?!
Marco: Oof... Here we go.
Hekapoo: What did I tell you about abusing your scissors?! And the fact that your friend keeps stealing them doesn't exactly build confidence either!
Marco: Hekapoo, it's Janna! You try controlling her!
Janna: The beast cannot be tamed!
Marco: And besides, they always end up in the wastelands. No harm, no foul, right?
Hekapoo: And what if one of them survives?
Ocram: OCRAM!
Marco, snagging the scissors: Impossible. (Opens portal) It took me three years to cross. ( Drags Ocram and throws him into the portal.) And that was after five years of surviving the rest of the Neverzone! (Shuts the portal.)
Janna: Aw!
Tom: Dude, did you just commit murder?
Marco: Look, everyone just calm down. Ocram's are made from wish magic. The only way they could survive is if they were kept alive by another, more powerful magical entity.
Hekapoo: How do you even know it's the wasteland? It could be a bog, or a volcano, or even the Pit!
Marco: Hekapoo, it's me. Do you really think I'm reckless enough to not be careful with what I do? (Everyone opens their mouths to say something) Don't answer that. Now, let's sit back, relax, and watch "Thunder 2000 Fists Below"
Hekapoo: The squid one you told me about?
Marco, sitting back down: Muay-Tai Squid.
Hekapoo, sitting next to him: Fine, but this isn't over.
Jackie: I remember this one! This has Claudia Tear as the Sea Hag, right?
Star, bending her fingers and raising her hands: Doesn't she have those sharp claws for hands?
Tom: Like a horse-cat?
Janna, eye-brow raised: Horse-cat?
Eclipsa, swallowing her chocolates: Think of a cat the size of a horse.
Marco: Shh! It's starting!
Meanwhile, in the Neverzone.
Ocram, in the Forest of Blades: OCRAM! (Echo from a nearby cave) OCRAM! (Walks into cave) OCRAM! (In absolute darkness) OCRA-! (Muffled struggling followed by a crunch)
Large, purple Ocram with sharp teeth: Another snack, just in time for ice-cold revenge... Marco.

Benim 1 bucuk senelik bir ilişkim vardı çok seviyoruz birbirimizi ayrılmıs olamamıza rağmen hala derdimizi anlatiyoruz bişey olduğunda birbirimze yardım edip hala daha birbirimizi sevdiğimizi söylüyoruz. Bir bucuk ay oldu ayrılalı ve sevgilim bana olmaz artık seni yine üzücem yine aybu seyler olucak yine kavga edicez ( sorunlu ilişkimiz vardı biraz) diyor ama ben onu çom seviyorum çok fedakarlık yaptım barısmak için de herseyi dedim sence napmam lazım lütfen yardım et
gerçek niyetini öğrenmeye çalış, gönülden koparak seni korumak için mi bunu düşünüyor yoksa geleceğiniz hakkında senden ayrı bir yolumu seçiyor bunu ayırt et ilk önce. sonra harekete geçersin
