Aeryo Barzan, Well Said

The story is great and true as is happening in our motherland.

Very nice pictures. Looks like being on the moon!

Everything is sacred

Are you trying to imply that you do not care about this country its culture, it heritage its icons, real or mythical? Or may be you can not care less about what is happening to this land, its climate and natural environment under the stewardship of an incompetent regime.

Or may me after spending a few years in the good old West, selling a few Kebabs or Delivering a few pizzas some of us no longer consider ourselves an Iranian and think we are somehow better and wiser than the rest and that’s why we are looking down on this nation, its heritage, its culture and its national iconic stories and figures.

Well mate! What is new? We have had such traitors since Salman Parsi (coincidental name similarity though, LOL)

However they have all gone to the dustbin of history and Iran with all its heritage, history pride and glory is still here. Furthermore, and we are still here, on guard, resilient, caring and making sure of this treasure being preserved and handed over to next generation intact.

So do not even bother to reply. We love this country with all its culture, mythical icons and fictional characters as they have a deep root in our culture. Furthermore we are clever enough to look beyond the fiction to see the moral of the story and draw practical, logical and ethical lessons from them.

Thanks

Was not sure about mixing a bitter reality with myths; I'm glad that some people liked it.

Fact vs. Fiction Again!

You can write a fiction or two,

Or write them until you are blue.

If you want the fact, consider this,

Whether you are Mr., Mrs. or miss.,

Yalda fiction has its roots in myth.

Fictioners thought if earth did not turn on Yalda soon,

It would end up at the dark side of the moon.

But we know that like spitting upward,

Fiction writers get their reward.

Every event in nature makes sense to the wise,

From every sunset to every sunrise.

May Dr. Saadat Noury help me in this venture!
