Interests

I try to foster this nature, to increasingly get the courage to cultivate myself in the atmosphere of presence of The Sages, which is recorded in books. I believe they are the true sources that worth a life to settle on, others being only fleeting and false, like the sort of meaning of life that a philosopher or a psychologist may speculate on.

On the hand, although compared to myself i have got very rigid, I feel like that meaning of life should be composed of "light-footed" constancy rather than a depressed one... Yet as a guest or host I am easy going.

"coffee" here comes to my mind. it is said that it is cold and it effects a gloomy picture, but i'm sure that coffee can't even think of such an evil as long as a good nature is in sight... Deep down I praise those who have a true festive nature, whom do not need stimulants and addictions to go forth.

Music, Movies, and Books

For example 'Bhagavad Gita'.

for example 'The third man'... But i have not been watching movies for a long time.

I don't listen to music that much but sitting with someone and choosing a music to listen together, I mainly prefer traditional folklore of different cultures.

Yet interestingly despite spending almost little time for fostering it in recent years, the most solid ground of understanding and literacy that I find among the range of subjects that I have ever engaged in, is Persian poetry. which in some cases, is much more than poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is not something that i have, but is something that the first time happened to me in a normal day while lying down in my room.
I have experienced sudden accidents of intense astonishment a few times, as senseless as it seems, at the reality that 'existence instead of nothing' is the case. But by the way it is more than two and a half year that i have not been captured by it again, while being by definition just present in my plain sight, I do not see the point.
Indeed It is a rare event that Although seeming too abstract and even meaningless, it's first occurrence effected an immense immediate cognitive shift in me, splitting my life into 'before' the first accident of amazement at the existence of the world and 'after' the first accident of amazement at the existence of the world... Basically I regard that there can not exist any meaningful answer to the question of 'why is there Being instead of nothing' within the world. but only in parallel to this ultimate question, a moment of cognitive shift, which this Amazement is definitive of, does exist.

Regardless of this particular stimulant of Amazement, reality of 'Existence instead of nothing', I am sure that Amazement is a more truthful mode of perception in itself, compared to other modes, particularly 'daily' way of coping with the world. Thus i used to regularly try to well groom my perception for opening an informed state which i consider to be the more healthy and truful mode.

But this case, is not wonder at this or that magnificent phenomenon, one of those Awe-inspiring cases that are regularly heard, narrated, depicted and raised. but a very singular and paradoxically an unknown one.
As you may have felt, amazement coincides with a difficulty of expression, as if the 'significance' of the subject that have stimulated our amazement, exists as a priori to language. How could you say anything at the moment that you are truely amazed?
So for example, being informed of our memories of personal experiences of wonder, we imagine that we relate to someone who may enthusiastically speak of their wonder at a phenomenon: 'I did wonder at the birth of that Child', '...the grandeur of the sky above', '...determination of the Hero whom penetrated through the ranks of enemy, alone', '...the strength of an ant when I imagine myself being on the same footing with it', '...the genuity which runs through that grand theory', 'the mystery that flows through the veins of that poem' or ....

Although we may have never wondered at these case personally, we relate to it through the memory of our own experiences of amazement, like when we relate to someone who speaks of the pleasure that an occasion have had stimulated in them, by trying to remember the pleasure of an occasion of our own.
We readily relate to these cases when they are raised on the ground of stimulating the observer's wonder. But what about when someone raises 'suddenly i was struck that things exist instead of not existing'? Does it make sense? For gaining a touch of this particular experience, at least to make sure that it is not a totally trivial one, you could read Wittgenstein's 'Lecture on Ethics' which is really short, fluent and insightful. You will encounter that Wittgenstein regards 'wonder at the existence of the world' to be his 'experience par excellence'. and it is what he holds his mind fixated on, when intends pushing to expand on why despite our urge to put forth ethical propositions, language is unable to express it with sense.
Therefore proposing that we do not have the option of being blessed by a science of ethics, for making sense is the essential condition for propositions of science. He vivisects this acknowledged experience par excellence, to show how in contrary to cases that it makes sense to refer to them by saying 'I wondered at...', singularly this one doesn't make sense at all, meaning to say 'I wondered at the existence of the world'.

Put these two in parallel to see how delicately Amazement and morality illustrate each other:

This one:
"If I say 'I wonder at the existence of the world' I am misusing language. Let me explain this: It has a perfectly good and clear sense to say that I wonder at something being the case, we all understand what it means to say that I wonder at the size of a dog which is bigger than any one I have ever seen before or at any thing which, in the common sense of the word, is extraordinary. In every such case I wonder at something being the case which I could conceive not to be the case. I wonder at the size of this dog because I could conceive of a dog of another, namely the ordinary size, at which I should not wonder.
To say 'I wonder at such and such being the case' has only sense if I can imagine it not to be the case. In this sense one can wonder at the existence of, say, a house when one sees it and has not visited it for a long time and has imagined that it had been pulled down in the meantime. But it is nonsense to say that I wonder at the existence of the world, because I cannot imagine it not existing.
I could of course wonder at the world round me being as it is. If for instance I had this experience while looking into the blue sky, I could wonder at the sky being blue as opposed to the case when it's clouded. But that's not what I mean. I am wondering at the sky being whatever it is. One might be tempted to say that what I am wondering at is a tautology, namely at the sky being blue or not blue. But then it's just nonsense to say that one is wondering at a tautology."

In parallel to

this one:
"we cannot write a scientific book, the subject matter of which could be intrinsically sublime and above all other subject matters. I can only describe my feeling by the metaphor, that, if a man could write a book on Ethics which really was a book on Ethics, this book would, with an explosion, destroy all the other books in the world. Our words used as we use them in science, are vessels capable only of containing and conveying meaning and sense, natural meaning and sense. Ethics, if it is anything, is supernatural and our words will only express facts; as a teacup will only hold a teacup full of water and if I were to pour out a gallon over it . . . .
I said that so far as facts and propositions are concerned there is only relative value and relative good, right, etc. And let me, before I go on, illustrate this by a rather obvious example. The right road is the road which leads to an arbitrarily predetermined end and it is quite clear to us all that there is no sense in talking about the right road apart from such a predetermined goal. Now let us see what we could possibly mean by the expression, 'the absolutely right road.' I think it would be the road which everybody on seeing it would, with logical necessity, have to go, or be ashamed for not going. And similarly the absolute good, if it is a describable state of affairs, would be one which everybody, independent of his tastes and inclinations, would necessarily bring about or feel guilty for not bringing about. And I want to say that such a state of affairs is a chimera. No state of affairs has, in itself, what I would like to call the coercive power of an absolute judge."

I am also writing a book that i have already written a decent eatrly draft of it. It still needs a lot of work.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to get fruitful talk from me, I have some opinions about Truth, Literature and Culture, Society , Politics , Economics, Technology and .... that i can share with you.

In particular I would love to read and translate some poems for you... and I would cherish if you teach me about your culture or the subject that you have specialized in, or the things that you feel passionate about.

But also lets mention that it is usually easy for me to make you laugh, specially when I'm in a good mood.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talking and Going out to make memories together ...
And help each other to better clarify our vision of life and the world and strengthen our hearts.
