Second Note to “Khuda Buwad Yaret”

But aside from the death and destruction which resulted and will continue to result from the distance and separation, there’s the issue of prestige and social status as well. You thought that perhaps your overall prestige and social status would diminish if we hooked up. It’s all about prestige and social status after all. But mine is higher than any of yours! If anything, mine will diminish. Not yours. Yours will go up. And mine will go down now, considering how things actually are in the world. Considering bloodlines and history above all else. It’s the bloodlines and history that matter the most for these people. I’m an aristocrat. And you’re a commoner in their book. That never occurred to you, it seems.
