Entry 11

This is the burning rule of man
which turns the grape into wine
the coal into fire
the kiss into human.
This is the harsh rule of man
to survive
the war, the misery
the countless dangers.
This is the gentle rule of man
which changes water to light
dreams to reality
foes to friends.

Paul Eluad

Entry 10

Last week I watched a documentary by Michael Moore on TV ...


I love him & his ideas ...
Brave and intellectual like Noam Chomsky , he criticizes his society as well as his government very well ...
There are really a few people who dare to critisize their society and their governors honestly ...
Anyway , his programme was about the violence in the US ...
He showed some films from the horrifying murder in a school in Atlanta which happened a few years ago ...
He interviewed people and asked them if they kept guns in their house ... most of the people did ...
When he asked people about the cause of the violence there , most of them believed it's because of the existance of guns in most of the families , and also the high violence shown in the films ...
In his programme there were also pictures of the white cops who behaved violently towards the Black People they arrested ... so I think the discrimination between Black and White still exists ...
In the end , he said that according to statistics, the highest number of people who are killed and murdered each year in the world is in Germany and they are about 165 people ...
This becomes less in other countries ...
But in the US this number is about 11.000 people each year ...

Meysam , my lovely brother ,

Entry 8

I reallyyyyy feel tired ... it's just because I woke up soon this morning ... it's soon for me ... not for others ... I woke up with great difficulty at 8:30 !
Of course I got up twenty minutes later...
Anyway, the classes were good today. The students , esp. in my second class , who are between 11 & 13 were happy , because the institute is closed on Thursday ...
They wanted me to assign less homework for them and I didn't accept ... then they accepted that I assign less homework for them than their teacher did last term ... Today's lesson was interesting ... it was about the process through which a bug becomes a caterpillar and then a butterfly ...
This evening I'm supposed to meet one of my relatives who is actually one of my best friends as well ... she lives in Canada and has come here to stay for 40 days ...

Entry 7

I look at her ...



I have nothing to say...
She's an African refugee ...
I really suffer when I see the pain and pressure in her face ... when I see there is no way to choose ... no way to escape ... nothing to decide ... and nothing to live for ... and there is still something that makes us choose life ... with all its pressure ...

Entry 6

It's not a long time we've started living in this confusing world of communication and information ... From morning till night wherever we are, we can hear the most recent news about whatever subject we may imagine ...we can watch , read and hear it at the same time on TV, satelite, internet , radio, newspapers , magazines , books , etc. ...
Choosing one of them is really difficult and sometimes we may become mad ...
Even if we choose one of them to get the news from , satelite for instance , we'll get more confused , because now we don't know which channel to choose ...
And it's the same for the rest of them: hundreds of sites on the internet ... lots of newspapers ...
And my problem is DOUBLE , because I like to read and listen in both English and Farsi ...
On the whole , I think we're always behind ...
I don't know ... Are we really behind? ...
The picture of man in this world is like the one who is just running and running fast to get somewhere and never arrives ...
He just finds , bites and chews, without having time to swallow and enjoy what he has found ...
I've come to this conclusion that if we don't direct ourselves towards a certain goal and if we can't find and choose whatever we want among this huge pile and store of communication and information , we'll drown in this ocean !!!

Entry 5

They say he had gone there ... to the other side of the road... to pick up some plants...
They had told him a lot not to go ... because it was late and they were expected at a dinner party that night ...
But ... yes it was late !
He went ... and went forever ... and never picked up any plants ... instead , nature picked him up ...

Entry 3

The young boy , never thought that one day he would sit in front of HIM and tell HIM, " This is not the Presidential Palace ; you cannot speak in this way ; here, you must be polite ... " while HE muttered a curse at Kwait and called it a DOG !
In history we have seen such events a lot ... and this time we see this cruel ruler of Iraq in court with just a suit and nothing more ... thinking he is still the president ... as he introduced himself " I am Saddam Hossein , the president of Iraq ..." at the beginning of his trial ...
The whole matter made everyone happy and satisfied , but is it an honest , just and fair trial ?
Isn't it a "Theatre" as he himself called it ?Aren't we deceived ? Isn't the whole court and the trial a scene of an agreement between the snake and the viper ? Bush and Saddam ?
These days everyone has heard and knows that this is amongst the election propaganda for Bush ...
The only thing that comforts us is that today we see _ maybe on the surface _ such a cruel man in the hands of a young judge and we see that Iraq has got rid of the snake, but aren't they entrapped by a viper ?!?
