FRIENDS?

Doostie khale kherse

I hope Iran’s politicians are not counting too much on China and Russia’s support

This “friendship” that politicians and clerics in the Islamic Republic of Iran consider useful, is nothing more than a “doostie khale kherse”! Either Iran’s politicians have no problems with this one-sided friendship or they are ignorant of the fact that they are being played! When the Russians attacked South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Iran’s media blew this up into former-USSR-propaganda proportions! I don’t think Russian media even claimed this attack to be as much as a success as Iranian media did! >>>

RELATIONSHIPS

Kissing all the frogs*

It seems everybody hurts in a different way

What does it take to be truly happy in life? Is it absolutely necessary to have a lover or a partner in life in order to be happy? Why are so many people out there looking, looking, and looking? Is our search for love a part of our yearning for our “personal legend” as reflected by Paulo Coelho? Can we have perfectly satisfying and rewarding lives without a love interest in the center of it? And, after all, how hard can it be to find someone? Most of us are looking for only one person in our lives, no more. If you think about it, there are more or less the same number of men as there are women in this world, give or take a few (million!) >>>

THINK

Stupid, and proud of it

Rational thought and free inquiry vs. faith

Through centuries of living, learning, experimenting, experiencing, innovating and gaining vast knowledge, man has evolved to the next level. Today we are guided by our conscience and act with humanity; we no longer are bound by “one book”, rather we have many books to choose from for any aspect of our lives. Hitchens writes: “Literature, not scripture, sustains the mind … and the soul. … Religion spoke its last intelligible or noble or inspiring words a long time ago, … the devotions of today are the echoing repetitions of yesterday, sometimes ratcheted up to screaming point so as to ward off the terrible emptiness.” >>>

می خواهم بگویم که زیبایی های زندگی هیچگاه فراموش شدنی نیست

وصیت نامه ها و نامه ها یی که می خوانید بخشی از اسناد جنایات حکومت اسلامی اند , این وصیت نامه ها و نامه ها,که در آستانه ی اعدام قربانیان نوشته شده اند, نیازی به تفسیر و تحلیل ندارند ,گلواژه هایی هستند که خود به روشنی سخن می گویند و هر کدام عطر خویش می افشانند, سخن و عطر شور زندگی و عشق به آزادی و آزاده بودن تا حد جان دادن در ره این عشق. می توان با نظرات سیاسی و عقیدتی این قربانیان مخالف بود اما نمی توان و نمی باید بر این همه شور وعشق چشم بست و به آنان که داس تاراج شور و شادی وعشق در دست داشته و دارند رخصت داد به تاراج گل هایمان ادامه دهند, و یا تاراجگری های ضدانسانی شان به فراموشی سپرده شود. >>>

We are all Baha'is

Discrimination against Baha’is has been so intense that human rights activists have also come to accept it

The criminal scheme of Baha’i-killing, of which the Hojjatieh Society was the standard-bearer and promulgator before the [1979] revolution – a scheme whose promoters came to power with the emergence of the Islamic Republic – is at its foundation a felonious concept intended to bring about religious cleansing through the murder of all Baha’is. If there had been no barriers to this planned genocide, such as international laws or global reaction, then no doubt by now the leaders of the Islamic Republic would have fully implemented their atrocious scheme.>>>
