The human being is
"just stomach and sex".

But he kills and he kills
"himself from the fearof living".

"'Father".
474
00:48:23,987 --> 00:48:27,866
"There is no pain in dying".
"Father","dying doesn't hurt.'"
Sorry for copy/paste problem but i had to bring lines before-after the word i need to know about.
What can you say about "spit of sinners"? I guess it is "what they utter with anger" but before that ord it says "cannot see", this part confuses me...! I need only one or two words in Turkish or a ong explanation to help me to find the right word on my own.

spit (saliva)
'I can't even see the spit of...' is a fairly common expression. It essentially means 'I can't bear to see even the smallest sign of...'.
Here 'spit' should be understood literally in the first instance, as the saliva of a person or as what a person spits out. Perhaps the figurative usage comes from the fact that what a person spits out is subseqently of no interest to the person and thus unimportant, and/or that it remains as a sign that the person has been at that location sometime.

On second thought, in the context I'd say it means 'I am unable to see even the least sign of...'
