The daily struggle of life is to make it large, make it happen, make it cool, and somehow to make it extraordinary, which takes the pleasure away from the simple ordinary things.

The Almost Forgotten Human Language is ‘Feeling’
We all have read this phrase “Think less. Feel more.” However, our lives are so busy these days that we forget to consider the core of all our learned languages, feelings. “Feeling” is becoming the almost forgotten language. We are caught up in the monotony of survival that there is no time to pause and […]
Why Playfulness is Prohibited When We Grow Up? #justcurious
What I have gotten so far that growing up means saying goodbye to your playfulness.

Suppressing Desires to ‘Fit-in’ is a Bad Idea

The whole idea of “fitting in” can be so exhausting and is equal to life imprisonment. Certain behaviors are expected from us, and others define even […]
‘Anal al Haq’ – What does it mean?
Anal al haq is a famous controversial statement which leads to a painful execution of its first narrator. ‘Anal al haq’ was said by a Persian mystic Mansoor al-Hallaj (Mansur al-Hallaj).

Master the Art of Questioning Oneself
Constructively questioning oneself is art. Asking questions to our self is like a ‘peeling an onion’ process; one layer leads to another one. Most of our questions should be directed inwards. Benjamin Franklin started his day with a question: “What good shall I do this day?” and ended his day with “What good have I […]
