Honest letter to David

...How are you doing man?I wasn't feeling well the other day because of the pressure at school.Anyway,To answer your question I should say that because gay behavior is forbidden and Haram(an act against religious law)so,I it is not protected by Islamic law.Religion and government are mixed and this has created a situation in which the government interfere in almost everything.I believe that government and religion must be separated to ensure the rights of  individuals but,I also wished that some behaviors(Gay) aren't allowed in the society because excessive freedom cause trouble for the whole society in the long run .Agree?But, as you know democracy is a two edge sword!

Now,Did you hear that Michael Jackson was introduced as the most stupid person in the united states in an internet  poll ?What do you think of the singer?...I haven't heard from Sade but iItried to download some of her music from the net but, I couldn't.I was curious to know your taste of music.Did you finally watch the "Green Mile?If so,What did you think of it?

Today, I talked about American holidays and especially Easter to my students.One question:After talking about dating difference in Iran and western countries a question popped in my mind:When boyfriends and girlfriends go out on a date to a restaurant,who pays?The boy or the girl?Does it depend?Or They happen to go dutch most of the time?

Take care my friend,

Thank you for the interesting article you sent. It helped me understand your country and it's people better. I would love to visit your beautiful country, and see it with my own two eyes. It has such a rich history. I appreciate places like that. I was happy to find out that the people there did not hate Americans like we've been often told here. I'm glad that they understand the difference between the government and it's people. As for the relationship between Jews, Muslims, and Christians. We are all people of the book. We share many commonalties and religious history. We are brothers in heart and spirit. As for my comment regarding women's rights, I think it's a matter of cultural differences and understanding. While I respect your customs and culture very much, I may not agree with all aspects of  some customs. I'm sure you feel the same way regarding western culture and customs also. I think we have more in common than not. Islam has contributed a lot to civilization and to the world.you never cease to amaze me with your thoughts and views. You are an intelligent insightful person. I enjoy corresponding with you. I always learn something through our conversations. Sometimes I may disagree, but often I share your viewpoints on issues. I wished you lived here my friend. It would be nice to hang out with you. How was your day today? Mine was pretty good. It's three thirty in the afternoon while writing this to you. I managed to go out for a run. The day has been warm and sunny. Finally, spring has arrived here! Flowers are beginning to blossom and the leaves are returning to the trees again. I love this time of the year. Everything is coming back to life. How is work? I have to work through this weekend. I hate working on the weekends, because it's usually short staffed on weekends. It makes for a long and hectic work day. I'll be starting school in the fall. (If I passed the entrance exam, that is.) I'll be finding out in a few more weeks. I've been thinking about visiting your country this year. I'm checking out hotel's and things on the Internet. While visiting your country, I would like to stop by and meet you. If that is okay with you. I respect your privacy, and if you would rather not, I'll understand. It wouldn't offend me. I'm not one hundred percent certain I will make the trip or not. It's still in the thinking stage for now. Well, my friend, Take care of yourself. My regards to your family.

Perception

I searched and asked
What is life?
I received many answers,
Long explanations of different theories, quotations from different
philosophers and on and on.
I realized the more words are used to explain life, the less that person
knows about life.
One day an old man, tossed a coin in the air and asked me how many sides
this coin has? Of course I said two! He laughed and said, "A coin has 3
sides"..... With his finger he pointed at the edge, the border of the coin
and said this is the side that most people don't see.
As soon as you choose a side (head or tail) it stops you from seeing the
other side, it puts a wall between you and the other "side".
If you can sit on the edge of the coin then you are sitting on the wall and
can see both side of the coin, therefore no more walls to separate
you from the "other"!!
I had the answer I had been searching for. A simple explanation with few
words,
LIFE IS A PERCEPTION.
