Some Quotes about "Compassion"



- Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
"Dalai Lama"

- It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put in the doing -- that’s compassion in action.
"Mother Teresa"

- Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: Where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless.
"Eric Hoffer"

يك هايكو


،يك صفحه سفيد
،رقص موزن قلم
،و خطوطي كه
،ترسيمهاي شني مان را
،جاودانگي ميبخشند
.تا قبل از رسيدن موج

From "the art of loving" by Erich Fromm



Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person; it is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole, not towards one 'object' of love. If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to the rest of his fellow men, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism. (Fromm 1957: 36)

ما


،يك جاده ی پر پيچ و خم
،همه جا سبز
،مه گرفته

،خنكي مطبوعي كه از لاي شيشه ی نيمه باز ميزنه تو
،زوزه آروم موتور توي يه شيب تند

... و طنين اين صدا

،عشق اولم
،عشق آخرم
،با تو زندگي
،شده باورم
،چه شكسته ام
،بي تو خسته ام
... دل پر اميد

،بوي تازه علف
،نم خاك

،صداي منظم رفت و برگشت شيشه پاكن
،عبور سريع خطوط سفيد مقطع
،.سنجابها ي كوچولويي كه هر از چند گاه اينور اونور زل زدن و نگامون ميكنن

،گرمي دستاي ظريفش كه روي شونه هامونه
،يكي روي شونه ی تو
،يكي روي شونه ی من

،بوي مطبوع حضورت
،صداي خنده هاي قشنگش
،و سئوالهاي پي در پي هميشگيش
.كه واسه خيليهاشون جواب نداريم

،انگار همه تنم شده يه دسيك سخت پر حجم
،كه بيت به بيت اين تصاوير، صداها و ... رو ذخيره ميكنه

،كاش اين جاده هيچوقت تموم نشه
مگه نه؟

Rumi always my best ...............................................




Yes Rumi has always been my
best. And here is my translation
of Rumi's poem. I hope you
like it. I welcome your
corrections/suggestions:







Where are you oh pilgrims who have already left for the Mecca?
Come back, your beloved is just here!
He is your neighbour residing only next door!
What are you looking for, bewildered in the desert?
If you can see the faceless face of your beloved,
You will be the master, the house, and the Ka'bah all by yourself.
Ten times you reached that house [Ka'bah] taking the same route;
Just once try to come up on the roof of this house.
That house is delicate. you have counted its signs,
But you should seek the sign of the master of that house as well.
Where is a single bunch of flowers if you have really seen that garden?
Where is a single pearl of your life if you are from the sea of God?
Despite all this; may your pain win your gain.
Alas you yourselves are the curtain hiding the treasure form yourselves.




ای قوم به حج رفته کجایید کجایید
معشوق همین جاست بیایید بیایید
معشوق تو همسایه و دیوار به دیوار
در بادیه سرگشته شما در چه هوایید
گر صورت بی​صورت معشوق ببینید
هم خواجه و هم خانه و هم کعبه شمایید
ده بار از آن راه بدان خانه برفتید
یک بار از این خانه بر این بام برآیید
آن خانه لطیفست نشان​هاش بگفتید
از خواجه آن خانه نشانی بنمایید
یک دسته گل کو اگر آن باغ بدیدید
یک گوهر جان کو اگر از بحر خدایید
با این همه آن رنج شما گنج شما باد
افسوس که بر گنج شما پرده شمایید

My very first post ....................................................


It's been a long time since I wanted to start my own blog. If it were not because of you, I think I would still be thinking about starting one. Now thanks to your presence in my life, one of my wishes is coming true. I should say a thousand thanks to you for that and for many other changes you introduced to my life since we met. I hope I can post proper stuffs here. I promise to do my best not to let you down. What should I say now? Probably I should welcome myself to the world of bloggers. Yeah? Ok. Hi everybody this is my first day. So don't expect much from a newbie blogger.
