My Masochism for your Sadism.

Caution! Don’t skip these following lines just because they are too long or have been written by me or…! If there is only one thing which we all need to really think about is the following, and you may even enjoy and like it. OK! Let me begin with telling you a short story:

Not so long time ago two friends of mine were pretending that they are going to fight! One of them picked up a heavy book (I'm not sure whether it was CLRS or not) and tried to hit the other one on the head, so the other friend asked him why he wanted to hit him. The first guy said it's because of his "Sadism" and so the other one said: "But for that you still need me having Masochism!!"
Oh this doesn't mean they were gay (although I'm not sure if they are not!) because we actually use these two words in none sexual context in Iran. To those who might not know, in Iran, Sadism only means enjoying hurting others, while in reverse, Masochism means having pleasure in being subjected to pain or humiliation, or so they say. But the actual point is that the second gay…Oh! I meant GUY actually...yes! The second guy, he was totally right about that. In fact he was actually talking of a big fact, which I call “Self-strength”! Something like self-confidence mixed with a cup of power and a bottle of consciousness would make it perfect! Yes he was absolutely right, in most cases others’ Sadism could not do anything to us without our Masochism (in their Iranian or non-Iranian meanings!).

In fact, since no one on Earth will cares about us more than we can do, it’s actually up to us to protect ourselves from everything (including those we care about). So as it would be fool to sit close to a lion who haven’t eaten for weeks, and say “Hey! Please don’t eat me!” (In a rare case of “Lafcadio” a good reason and attitude would do, but don’t be sure about that, since I’ve also tested a “Lafcadio”!), it will be ridiculous to expect a criminal don’t shot you just because it’s not Right! You can always say things like “Don’t hurt me!” or “You should not hurt me” or even “You can’t hurt me”, but they may still do that. And if it’s not Right that someone murders you in cold blood! But you must also consider the fact that it shouldn’t even matter to you whether they’ll gonna take him to the jail for that or not, if you are already murdered by him!

What I mean is that although you maybe able to PROVE that what somebody did to you was totally wrong, and he really shouldn’t do that, or terms like “Didn’t have the Right to” or even “Didn’t intend to”, but this may not give you back what they’ve already caused you to lose. So instead of expecting others, even good, trusted, loved, kind or… ones, not to hurt you (in any way that they may be able to), you’d rather really “DON’T LET THEM TO”. And I bet you it will work in the most cases (not in all case, but still is great!).

And my one last word is for those “others”, including those “good”, “trusted”, “loved”, “kind”, or even “GENEROUS” ones, which also may include you and me (as we are “others” to the others) : “Don’t hurt others (in anyway) just because you don’t INTEND to do that”. Please always remember: “Not intending to”, “Not wanting to”, “Not planning to”, and above all “Not knowing”, are never gonna be an “Excuse” for ANYTHING.

OK! Enough Preach! Let’s get back to life, where we all live in it!

P.S: And also sorry about that advertisement at the first paragraph! I was worried you might skip this text from the beginning!

Special Thanks to those two Friends. You gUys were really helpful.

Man In Black

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

Journey to the Planet X

Report#7784: Living Among Human Beings
(Planet Earth - Part 309)

Agent 0815-856411-24


I’ve been in so many different places, and I’ve seen so many different things. But I’ve never been in any place stranger than the Earth and never seen any creature stranger than Human Beings [report#7475]. You never believe it, unless you’ve seen it for yourself. It’s not only famine in the land which all those oceans and forests made it look green and blue, but it’s also all those human beings on that which caused this abandoned Land to look this strange. One can write thousands of significant facts and stories about this planet (as what I’ve tried to do so far), but those creatures are always everywhere. They have many laws, facts, reasons, and also Fate [report#7648] to make them look and act that stupid. There are also too many factors involved in everything related to them. Mood [report#7750] and Time are two of the most significant phenomenon matters to them.

Spending time with a human being is just like being trapped in the wonderland among with creatures wearing masks –you’ll never know who’s who, and what you should expect to happen next. In fact, that was the hardest and most dangerous mission I’ve ever had during this long Journey. And after all that I’ve done so far, still I didn’t finish my mission on The Earth. There is still so much I don’t know about human beings, and I know there is so much I’ll never going to understand.

It’s not just those things they like to say about themselves that they fight for peace or hate to love. That’s even much more than you can even imagine. There are few examples of those many strange things I’ve seen about people so far.

The first thing I’ve noticed about them is that although they have come in many different colors and shapes, they’re always concerned about changing their look and yet they’re all look the same! They say they’re divided to two main groups: those who think they are lucky and those who don’t (some call it “Winners and Losers”). But no matter in which group they are, they’re all the same. In fact, they are so obsess about change and difference that they talk in thousands of languages, live in hundreds of Countries [report#7539], have many styles, Races [report#7541], Religions [report#7541]. But still they all try so hard to learn one specific language, live in one or few special countries, dress in one style, respect one race and religion! I just can’t figure it out what all these differences about when they’re not going to have them?!

The second is their reasons. You’ll never know why they do something. During my long presence on the Earth I’ve seen People wanting to help some they’re his/hers main problem, making friends they’ll can’t stand, lie without needing to. They may even sing for someone they’ll forget in a few weeks or less. They say, write, sing, and do many other things to show something they don’t believe or they don’t even care about. I’ve once seen someone refused to talk with her Boyfriend [report#7745] on the phone so that her parents won’t notice their relationship, and later she used to call her friends for long time to increases the phone charges so that her parent won’t notice they’ve broken up. I’ve seen people too busy doing nothing. I’ve seen people abandon their country, language, family, friends, and every other thing and then they say they love them.

As it seems enough for this report, I’ll write the rest in the next one as usual.

The problem with dating dream girls is that they have a tendency to become real.

This words are by "Yuri Orlov" (Nicolas Cage) in "Lord of War (2005)". At first, like very other words in this fabulous movie I though it should be a wise Quote.Now, I know what is really wise about it. If you've seen this movie, you might know what it it's about (he said this after he finally dated his dream girl who he always wanted to see and be with). But, Definitely this is no really about "Dream Girls" or "Dating" with them since this was in "Lord of war" screenplay!
In fact, this tiny quote might tell us that although we may have many dreams and aims or even if we put an effort achieving something (no matter what and how), it doesn't mean we really want it to be real or if we know what to do after getting it and if we really deserve it.
You may agree, disagree, or have no idea about this translation, but I've seen it in many people's lives (may be even mine too! ) In other words, it means that sometimes we think we want something just to want it and just thinking of why we can't have it, but do we really think about deserving, needing, truly wanting something, or if we will even give a damn about it after we finally achieved it?!
We might really need to think about that : "We actually deserved how much of those we have or had in our lives?". And do you know why it's important? Because, otherwise we are no longer going to have them in the future and that's why we have no excuse to complain... Do we?!
Now you may even appreciate this wise quote even more :
"There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it."
