Cyrus Charter of Human Rights
“I am Cyrus. King of the world. When I entered Babylon… I did not allow anyone to terrorize the land… I kept in view the needs of people and all its sanctuaries to promote their well-being… I put an end to their misfortune.

"I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be that of Shariati's."
Jean-Paul Sartre
----------------------------------
My Lord, grant me success in struggling during failure, in having patience in disappointment, in going alone, in Jihad without weapons, in working without pay, in making sacrifice in silence, in having religious belief in the world, in having ideology without popular traditions, in having faith (Iman) without pretensions, non-conformity without immaturity, beauty without physical appearance, loneliness in the crowd, and loving with the beloved knowing about it.

Hey Parsin,
I love the video about the suffocating mosquitoes in Andrea Bocelli’s power point site.
I don’t believe I ever told you, but I live behind a nature preserve, and those pesky little bloodsuckers can be a real problem during the summer.

Glenn,
Thanks, I love the nature so much. When I was in US I always used to go for hiking. I have been to Yellowstone National Park several times.
I wish I could live in a calm and quiet place too. Tehran is really a noisy and crowded city.
I guess you must be very close to the Gulf of Mexico too! Do you get hurricanes there?

Actually, Parsin, I live right on the Atlantic Ocean. We are always a threat for hurricanes, but I have only seen one bad one in the 12 years I’ve been here. I am about 35 miles north of Miami Beach.
