CURRENT MISSION

Getting energized from the fine esprit of the couchsurfers and meet nice, kind and lovely people from all around the world, to abate the bitterness/cruelty/inequality/paradoxes that exist in the world!

After two years of hard work, My brother and I could finally open a cafe right in front of the most famous mosque (Vakil Mosque) in Shiraz.
It's really cool, and we enjoy meeting and serving amazing people from all around this world.

ABOUT ME

Please read all parts of my profile CAREFULLY, before sending me your requests. Many many thanks :)

Sometimes I feel I'm not just like many of the people around me, which means I don't do a lot of things others do. This doesn't mean I'm a geek, nerd, or ...; I just think a little bit differently about my values and try to consider them in doing things.
I always try to be easygoing, always-laughing, Honest, kind, loving and affectionate.
I don't think anything serious exist in the world, so why to get sad over minor problems! That only makes things more difficult; life is so hard in itself; no need to worsen it ;)
There is a reason for everything and every problem and SURE there is a solution for each of them.
Love, Laugh and enjoy the life to the most. I believe that Kindness and love are two things that help everyone abate the paradoxes, bitterness, cruelty and inequalities of life!

By the way, two things that I can't stand are cigarette smoke and racists! :D

PHILOSOPHY

Every one of us are from the same soul (source) but in different shapes and forms:

"The souls of wolves and dogs are separate, every one;
the souls of the Lions of God are united.
I have spoken of their souls nominally in the plural,
for that single soul is a hundred in relation to the body,
Just as the single light of the sun in heaven
is a hundred in relation to the house-courts,
But when you remove the wall,
all the lights on them are one
When the houses have no foundation remaining, the Faithful remain one soul"
Rumi

جان گرگان و سگان هر يك جداست
متحد جانهاى شيران خداست
جمع گفتم جانهاشان من به اسم
كان يكى جان صد بود نسبت به جسم
همچو آن يك نور خورشيد سما
صد بود نسبت به صحن خانه ها
ليك يك باشد همه انوارشان
چون كه برگيرى تو ديوار از ميان
چون نماند خانه ها را قاعده
مومنان مانند نفس واحده
مولانا

If you love good music and you sometimes close your eyes while listening to the guitar solo in Pink's "Comfortably Numb", and feel moved by it, or you love to listen to (ZZtop, BB King, Andre Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Pinkfloyd, Mark Knopfler, Keb Mo, Ray Charles,...) then we share an international language and we have a lot in common!
I don't feel like I need to tag myself with ideologies (Islam, Christianity, -isms,...). I just try to be nice, kind, honest, fair, free (=ethical). I don't believe in any ideologies; I make use of all the reasonable/logical pieces from any system of thought, and try to develop my ideals and values.
