سرمدی سرمستی

ای بهار غیرمنتظره!

تو را زیر درخت تابستان

آنجا که سایه تو در خواب افتادن یک سیب طلوع کرد

مثل خاطره شبنم روی گونه یک برگ شبدر

در مارپیچ سفرم تا ظهر ردیابی کردم.

در موسم تو

برگهای من به تب آفتاب مبتلا بودند

و من صدای پای تو را در تلاوت هور نشنیدم

و فرصت تو در سبزینه شور بدوی محو شد.

حوالی ظهر است... چه باید بکنم

من که در موسم یک روزه تو به شکوفه‌ای آبستن نشدم

not from lebanon, but here and there

In the sweetness of friendship:

let, 

there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. 

For,

in the dew of little things,

the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Gibran Khalil Gibran

are you up

what about tough times?

are they gonna end?

do you think there will be a point in your life at which tough times are finally behind you?

me?

I don't have a simple yes or no answer.

I say yes there will be such a point but only for those who stop trying.

and I say no there won't be such a point but only for those who are not gonna fall asleep.

خرج کن

فکر کن دکتر بهت گفته فقط یک ماه دیگه زنده می‌مونی،

در این صورت

با مردم چطور رفتار میکنی؟

رفتارت فرق میکنه، نه؟

سوال اینه: چه ضمانتی هست که بیشتر از یک ماه دیگه زنده می‌مونی؟

what does a man seeking a woman think of her? part 2

our response to intrinsic calls is not limited to finding a companion and although we always contemplate on our next act most of the time we get pulled by our needs results in compulsive acts!
take a look at your life, for example, how many decisions have you made so far? what percent of them were made without the slightest pull from your intrinsic needs?
again, I'm not disapproving. I'm the one who has done almost everything in favor of intrinsic values; based on his own view.
let me ask you another question: what does make you happy when you're in the death bed? and let me guess: "results". if you see results in your lived life at the time of death you embrace the soil with happiness; and vice versa.
that question was the introduction to this one: how are you gonna evaluate the results? isn't it based on what you have learned in your life; upon the foundation made by your family in your early life?
see we get restricted to a lifestyle which makes our destiny and at the end we analyze and score our effort based on the values defined by that lifestyle which is in turn a web of decisions and actions. 

and you may guess what percent of this web are made because of intrinsic pulls.

what does a man seeking a woman think of her? part 1

the intrinsic pull toward having a companion is not a thing that one can deny, including me.
I went down that road at the very beginning state of shaping my individual character, say early 20s.
(it was terrifically enjoyable and it was when I got the barest inkling of what solace would be, though I did not take it).
in general, some men are seeking a "wife", some a "doll" and others either going after someone in between or not having made up their mind yet. this classification can be applicable to, say, 80 percent of men.
to my observations, I think most of the men seeking a relationship are actually being pulled by the intrinsic call to find someone besides themselves ( what's happening in practice is different from having a companion and is inferior), though this call might be totally vague to them.
I'm not gonna take a dim view of it or condemn it, I'm just saying how strong this pull I see from where I'm standing. actually I cut men some slacks here.

next major movement

what's your prognostication of the next major fight in the world?

a war between superpowers?

war between Jews+Christians and Muslims?

or just a virus will come like Corona and a major portion of people will die?

my thought?

I think there will be a fight between classes of people in all places of the world.

wouldn't you be happier

the best thing that may ever happen to a person is that he or she can feel the God better than before.

good for all

the best service one can ever do the society is to become a better person just for itself.

know it

be confident that there will be another way.

there is always another way.

choice is only the sign

on the journey of your life the distance you travel, from the person you were at born to the person you have become at death, is measured and then you will be rewarded or punished.

the direction you choose is the key of course.

but,

never think that if you got nothing compared to other people in the sense of materials while you have made efforts you will not be rewarded greatly.

remember what is gonna be measured: effort  x  direction.

?if not what's the use

are dreams meant to be taken seriously?

the greatest sin ever

every person has some kind of a burden to bear in their life

though sometimes the burden is breaking the person's back it is to teach something; something specifically designed for that person in order that the person finds their way up =)

so, I'm neither in favor of removing the burden nor lightening it

the only thing needed here is understanding of 1. it is necessary 2. how to deal with it

so, I like to see the way of bearing the burden is getting enlightened for each person

this is the job of the next envoy if there would be any!

and that's why the only deadly sin in early Christianity was acedia; unfortunately the whole philosophy has changed during the time

because in acedia the person is not gonna bear the burden, while they may not commit any of the known sins.
