Sanity vs Insanity

First and foremost let’s be clear on the fact that madness and insanity is a global problem and not limited to specific regions or cultures. However, in most places, the insane are almost always products of unfavorable environments, and never products of pre-planning and training. What we have today in the Middle East is a network which finance, plans and organizes development of insane humans for the sole purposes of engaging in terrorist acts against the general population. This process of “producing terrorists” requires a favorable social and cultural groundwork which has been provided by what has evolved as the post-Islam Arab cultures and religion>>>

Love knows no partition

Who would have thought? Marylou is in love! The queen of mean, the whistleblower of the year, the spy who hates me, she is in love. The woman, that people would re-route their path in the maze of the office cubicle isles just to avoid crossing her path, is in love. How do I know? Her teeth are whiter, her eyes are brighter, her cheeks are blusher, her lips are more vermilion, and her sagging breasts are perkier. Last week I figured out why there was so much change in her. She was talking to Joe, and I recognized her giggle over the partitions that separate my cubicle from the people who residing on the next isle. No one has ever heard her giggle before as long as anyone can remember. But, the giggle was unmistakably hers, a mimic of her voice, which sounds like a tree slamming into a house on a stormy night>>>

Layer after layer

The general belief prevailing among common people, Zoroastrians or not, is that the Avesta constitutes the “Sacred Books of the Zoroastrians.” Looking at the sacred scriptures of other living religions, it should be so. Baha’ism, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, and Sikhism, have their relevant sacred books. A closer look would, however, reveal that the conscious or unconscious founder of each religion or order had his or her inspired or thought-out message conveyed in person. Later the successors added much around the nucleus of the founding message and consequently produced a collection of writings, some of them in a different dialect or language>>>

کارت منزلت

صفر پناهی آموزگار بازنشسته بعد از 30 سال تدریس ، سرانجام با اصرار زنش رفت و کارت منزلت گرفت. همکاران سابقش وقتی در پارک محل او را می دیدند چنان از مزایای کارت منزلت که می توانی با آن مجانی سوار اتوبوس های شرکت واحد و یا مترو بشوی حرف می زدند که انگار به قول فرانسوی ها" Pass Par tout" گیرشان آمده و با آن می توانند به هر جائی خواستند سرک بکشند. در اداره بازنشستگی آموزش و پرورش، اغلب کارمندان از معلمان سابق بودند که حالا بد تر از مش صفر بالای 70 سال داشتند. بیشترشان دارای سمعک و عینک بودند و وقتی می خواستند فرمی را پر کنند، گوینده باید در گوششان داد می کشید.مش صفر پرسان پرسان مسئول صدور کارت منزلت را پیدا کرد. وقتی مقابل صندلی او نشست ، هر دو دقایقی به قیافه همدیگر زل زدند. >>>

رويــداد

دستی به هوا رفت و دو پيمانه به هم خورد
با آن دو دل عاشق و ديوانه به هم خورد

دستی به هوا رفت و نگاهی به نگاهی
پيچيد و دو دست و دو دل و شانه به هم خورد
