About Me

Please visit my homepage: http://ghassem.com.
All you may like to know is there.

I enjoy knowing the truth of everything. In this way, I have a set of powerful friends I can't live without them: My laptop, My cell phone, the Internet and the web. Sometimes, I dream I'm downloading a bread using the Internet. I'm not kidding!
My beliefs about the world and life has been changed several times, and I'm now more stable rather than my youth ages. Currently, I feel more comfortable with the philosophy that Khayyam proposed many years ago. Some people believe he was a Nihilist. I don't know he was a Nihilist or not, and although I'm not a Nihilist, I really love his beliefs. He has some interesting poems that I invite you to read them online.
For example, this is one of his interesting poems. We call these types of poems Rubai, which are just consisting 4 verses.

Literal Translation:

Khayyam, if you are intoxicated with wine, enjoy!
If you are seated with a lover of thine, enjoy!
In the end, the Void the whole world employ
Imagine thou art not, while waiting in line, enjoy!

Meaning :

In life devote yourself to joy and love
Behold the beauty of the peaceful dove
Those who live, in the end must all perish
Live as if you are already in heavens above

Another one:

Literal Translation:

This clay pot like a lover once in heat
A lock of hair his senses did defeat
The handle that has made the bottleneck its own seat
Was once the embrace of a lover that entreat

Meaning:

Everywhere I look, I see a sign
Of an order that is great, divine
Even the sweet passionate red wine
Is the blood in this heart of mine
