Wise old man

81-year-old mechanic in Isfahan talks about life

Dirt poor, he is so wise and so interesting. I don't know why this made me cry. Something about those sad eyes and that sharp mind, I guess:

So much for religious welfare and charity and theocracy

typically, those who pass will say, "che konam, khoda ghesmat dade" or some such gibberish, or at best will give these people some money to eliviate their own egocentric superstitious mania by saying:" savab dare".

Too sad.

Not a wise man at all

A wise man is some one who does not end up sleeping on the ground, from my experience dealing with Esfahanies 8-10 are full of shit and they think they can get away with their funny accent.

Old men, are they really more wise or is it that they become more risk averse that makes them wise?  Perhaps they are less idealistic, more in touch with how finite this life is.

why the hell

all videos produced by Iranians are loaded with so much noise pollution and in particular stupid music that has nothing to do with the subject? Sick and tired of all these noise pollutions....

He is not old ...but somewhat confused

by Abol Danesh, Bored (not verified) on Sat Aug 16, 2008 07:04 PM PDT

...just look at his eyebrows...had he gone before the mirror to see the black line of hairs above each of his eyes he would have not allowed anyone to call him an old man unless he sees it for himself the last line of his eyelasheshes has turned white...

The old man is intresting, the sound track is distracting

The message is: "With old age comes wisdom and then we die".
