The month of friendship
It is the Holy month of Ramazan. I was always told and believe that the true meaning of a “fast” is not just refraining from eating. This month is a good opportunity to “fast” from seeing, hearing, saying and doing. This is the month for forgiving and forgetting, for renewing friendships and opening our homes and hearts to those around us, despite our differences.
It may be quite simple to miss a couple of meals, but the REAL TEST is to find a way to tell the person(s) we have been trying to avoid for months that we still care for them and ask them to include us in their prayers. I wonder how many of us have the “will” to do something that our pride, arrogance, and self-pity would prevent us from doing.
There is only one way to find out.

بسیار درست است واین نگاه به دنیا همه ی مشکلات بشر را حل می کند. همه ی ما نیازمند تذکر هستیم و باید از عادتهای روزمره گاهی وقتها دست بر داریم و روزه هم در واقع نوعی خلاف آمد عادت است که حافظ همه ی کامجویی های زندگی را در گرو آن می داند.اما شرط عمده این است که ما همواره خودمان را به جای دیگران هم بگذاریم و ببینیم در شرایط برابر اگر ما بودیم چه می کردیم. به هر حال سخنان شما بوی آزادگی و بهشت و پاکی و مهر و گذشت می دهد. چیز هایی که زندگی بشر بدون آنها به جهنم بدل می شود. خداوند در راهی که پیش گرفته اید روز به روز موفق ترتان بدارد. دوستدار همیشگی

Ramadan Mubarak Sara :)
Sadly Ramadan is leaving us, hope we'll live another year to live it and do what we failed to do this year.
Nice blog you have.
