Mercy Killing

2006-05-16T23:21:00.000-07:00

Last week , one of the Iranian actrees, Poupak Goldareh,died after being in coma for about nine months.She was about 34.During those months she was stayed alive by help of different devices.what do you think about her ?why didnt doctors end his life ?

Mercy killing is an issue that needs lots of thinking and thinking.Poupak is one example of thousands of people who have this problem.Doctors could end her life but they didnt.why?One reason may be her family.They didnt allow them to do that.They love their daughter and each moment they expected a miracle.

There are many people who are against Mercy killing.They have some reasons that seems logical.Firstly, they say that to end the life of someone is equal to meddle in Gods affair.God is the only person who decides when somebody has to die.So with Mercy Killing people do a sin.secondly, they believe that with praying it is possible to save some ones life.So many people believe in God and his prophets.They can ask them to save his life.

On the other hand,some thinks that it is good.They believe that by ending ones life we can save others life by his or her organs.
In conclusion,Mercy Killing can be good and bad.We have to choose the right choice for somone who has this problem. I mean by considering his or her condition(whether he or she is old or not.......) .

Sweet Experience

2006-05-10T00:09:00.000-07:00

I want to talk about my most exciting experience during my life ,I mean during these 22 years.
My sweet experience is marriage.Maybe you say :Wow!what is she saying?Marriage cant be sweet at all.But believe me it is.It is an experience that every girl wish to have it.
The first day of my married life was so exciting.It was exactly 20 months ago. I was very surprised, ask why?well, because it was the first time I wanted to cook,cook for my husband and myself.To tell you the truth, I was alittle bit out of control.I talked to myself "oh ,God help me , help me to cook the most delious dish for him".I cooked eggplant stew for the dinner and spagetti for the lunch.Both of them were good.I couldnt imagine that my cooking was as like as a lady who cooks for a long time. I forgot to tell you that my obsession was cooking rice .I thought that I cant cook it well .
But ,I want to advise you not to be out of control on that special day.The day Which worth having this feeling is when you have guests,a large number of guests.It is really awful.Make yourself ready for it.
I hope you enjoy reading my experience.

A long a dusty road in India there sat a begger who sold cocoons. A young boy watched him day after day,and the begger finally beckoned to him.

"Do you know what beauty lies within this chrysalis?I will give you one so you might see for

yourself.But you must be careful not to handle the cocoon until the butterfly comes out."

The boy was enchanted with the gift and hurried home to await the butterfly.He laid the cocoon on the floor and became aware of a curious thing.The butterfly was beating its fragile wings against the hard wall of chrysalis until it apperared it would surely perish, before it could break the unyielding prison.Wanting only to help, the boy swiftly pried the cocoon open.

Out flopped a wet , brown, ugly thing which quickly died.When the begger discovred what had happened,he explained to the boy "In order for the butterfly wings to grow strong enough to support him, it is necessary that he beat them against the walls of his cocoon. Only by this struggle can his wings become beautiful and durable.When you denied him that struggle, you took away from him his only chance of survival."

May the walls of your cocoon,Be just thick enough , To allow you to struggle, Just long enough, to emerge, The beautiful person,I already know you to be.

The Ghost City

2006-05-02T23:31:00.000-07:00

Among the Asian countries,India is the most famous one.Every body knows about this country and its wonders.In fact ,India is the treasure of wonders.The place where I choose for visiting is Fatehpur Sikiri.You know, when I searched about it ,I recognize that its worth visiting.

Fatehpur Sikri(The city of victory) is a ghost city located 37 km from Agra, Uttar Pradesh in India.It was found by Akbar ,the Mugals emperor between 1571-1585 .He had plannned this city as his capital but because of the shortage of water he abandoned there.
Akbar built this city in the honor of the saint, Shaikh Salim Chishti(lived in a city called Sikri) . That saint by his blessing gave Akbar 3 sons.His oldest son was Gahangir who is a famous person.
The city of red sandstone buildings encloses magnificent monuments and tempels.The finest ones are the Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, panch Mahal, Jama Masjid and the tomb of saint Shaikh Salim Chisti.
Fatehpur Sikri is siad to be the look -alike of the mosque in Mecca and its designs is the mixing of Persian and Hindu architecture .

I suggest you visiting this place.

Nowrooz(new day) is the Iranians festival which begins in March and it ends after about two weeks.We have a lot of different customs for the festival.Before Nowrooz coming Iranians family do many things.They clean their house because it is the symbol of renewing(As spring comes after winter and everything becomes new and green).They buy new clothes and also they buy sweets and nuts.We have a special ceremony at Tahvile-sal .We have sofreh haft sin that contains seven different things which begins with word sin.They are senjed,somagh,coin,vinegar,garlic,sabzeh and apple.Each of them is the symbol of a thing.For example; senjed is the symbol of love,apple symbol of beauty and sabzeh symbol of rebirth.Also we put our holy book koran in this cloth.Some puts the book of the great Shirazi poet, Hafez ,in it as well.We put a mirror,a candel ,a bowl of water or rose water too. They are the symbol of rebirth and beauty.When the new year begins we go to the oldest familys house for respecting.This visiting continues about twelve days.On the last day of the festival people go on picnic and celebrate the last day of the festival happily.The thing that we do in this day is throwing the sabzeh into water.
