Vocabulary session ; "We don't have these!"

Androgynous
Gynandrous
Hermaphrodite
Bisexual

I have been thinking A LOT recently about the vocabularies above thinking how many of these people i have seen here in Iran.One of them is a distant relative of us who has happened to be a talented surgeon and a poet. I do accept it as an abnormality, but denying it is atrocious! and when I think about that stupid guy saying "We don't have these in Iran It is as if saying in Iran genetic pattern is different !

Sa'adi Afshar; the black friend of childhood days

Such a beautiful and cheerful perfomance was it that made me go there for 3 successive nights, and each night i had seen sa'adi crying in front of the young group playing, singing and dancing simply reminding people how much they all need a little fun and laughter!

Masule

That was a Nice change being away from the din of civilization !! Although I got really angry at some of the guests traveling with the tour because of indulging in drinking, all in all it was great; playing, dancing, enjoying the nice rain, finding new friends, playing pantomime on the way back - I love this game, I am wondering why I didn't play it before ! It made me use my brain a little bit !!- Wherever we turned our head there was only beauty and harmoney, comparable with all those beautiful little villages in France , and even more ancient!

Of all the traditional and unspoiled mountain villages in the Caspian Province of Gilan, Masulé (Masuleh) is the most breathtakingly beautiful. It's a cool 1050m (3444ft) above sea level and, formed by several irregular levels of terraced cream houses, appears to have grown out of its surroundings.

"The Joy Of Life"

This is the true joy of life. The being used for a purpose
recognized by yourself as a mighty one. The being a force
of nature instead of a feverish and selfish clod of ailments
and grieving senses complaining that the world will not
devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole
community and that as long as I live it is my privilege
to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used
up when I die. For the harder I work, the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief
candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I
have got to hold up for the moment, and I want to make
it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on
to future generations.
-George Bernard Shaw

A New Start

That's enough blaming others (including my parents) for my own shortcomings. It is time to take steps towards building my desired life . It is time to grow. I have always been terrible at balancing between my work, studies ,doing my hobbies and taking care of my soul. I am used to taking one step at a time. Most of the time I think untill when I am going on this way ? All in all I am NOT enjoying myself and my life at all. A typical Iranian life style. Worse than that I am escaping from accepting that ! I wish to be more positive from now on.

Are these big desires?..

I hate being a woman in Iran

It was not a long time ago when i have heared this sentence from one of my classmates who quoted Madona calling K-h-o-m-e-y-n-i " I hope you die and be born again as a WOMAN in iran " ! At that time I just felt sympathy towards women who were living in difficulty. Now at this age i understand that if you only have a little wit you can suffer to death living as a woman in iran . Even those with little sense of humanitarism can understand this fact that if one CANNOT express her feelings and thoughts with absolutely NO fear is doomed to be dead dead ! If you can find a mentally healthy man or woman in iran well you absolutely should doubt your sense of judgment and you should define what "healthy" really means ! To wrap up if you want to live the way you feel is right and makes sense to you you are dead OTHERS will not let you do so . Because you are called INSANE in their points of view and things are even much more difficult for women living the way they wish !

Good "old days"

I have started going back to my "old things". Like the books I used to read, my family, my old freinds, my Yoga practices. It was as if I did never pay attention to them as I should have and I am wondering if this is going to be a cycle in my life. They say that only stupid people are like that. I mean you don't understand what you have untill it is gone . I am afraid this cycle is going to be repeated again and again.

I used to do a lot of meditation and only I thought it was totaly useless. But now that i have been away from that for almost 1 year or more I undretsnad how essential it is to make your mind quiet at least for 10 minutes aday. "The power of now" was just wonderful taking me away from my Current self, my current position to a non-defined status where only silence and being resided...

I am coming back to you all, Give me a big hug :)

Sorry for all these years..

There were some words between my sister and I tonight, just like the past 17 years, since she was born. when I think back I see that I have never ever grown up, changing the shell without really changing the inside or be insighful . Sorry that I have been such a selfish older sister throught these years, sorry for not imagining you as a naughty student but rather imagining you as a disaster who just has appeared to stop me from improving, sorry for not teaching you english and instead teaching to laods of people who i didn;t know very well. sorry for not hightening our inteligence both..

But i don not blame only myself, we pass on to our children and our younger siblings what we have been passed on to. Why some parents think that their ONLY job is to keep food in their children's mouths and send them to school and they have just done perfectly? perhaps because it is what they have ben passed onto !!

Teaching Our Children Well

as a 25-year old kid! i all the time look back and try to remember some of my childhood memories and make them all relevant to my current unwanted behaviours such as angriness , uneasiness , fatigue, lack of hope,depression and so on..

It is said that it is very easy to blame others and unlish the blame on ourselves, But sometimes it is really all about others, I am not going to be too pushy, But in this children training case who is to blame mostly except for the parrents itself?

Anyway, I got to spot some of the areas in my childhood that really hurt me now, Oneof them is this lack of being able to think effectively and come up with good decisions and results.. I have never ever been taught HOW to think and what is the phisolophy behind thinking at all..

Most of these thoughts lead me to get attracted to any kind of training, philiosophical, pedagogica or psychological issues regarding great ideas on children and adulthood thinking and life style..

Being a parent is deffinitely the most difficult task on earth, but the quations is whether I AM going to turn out to be a good mom knowing how to be a perfect symbol of a human being for her children or not??
