Do not concern us with facts!!!

Audience likes to be lied to by its leader, and in case he did not they might even overthrew him, if they can. The patient likes to be lied to by the doctor, or laboratory equipments make mistake in calculating the results of tests. Addict pays the price of the food of his family to buy a false moment, by which he escapes from the facts.

Dervish struggles even more to lose himself, and adapts in the existence searching for its secret. Likes to feel that he is as the sun and the moon has his own orbit. His motto: I'm dreaming then I exist, the argument against Descartes, which was very hard when he decided: I think then I exist..!!

But do not all of these lead us to a direct order, of self-deceiving, lying down and going on behind its illusions before the people know tobacco hashish, marijuana and heroin???

A psychological dwell, that represents in our reality a semi prevalent state a of individuals, groups, rulers and ruled, in a nation its pioneer (Prophet Mohammed) set centuries before Descartes the fact that: the impotent is the one who followed the self’s desires, and wished God a wish list...

Some people gets angry if you warn them of the truth, arise in your face, and calls you whatever names , as when passive dreamer gets angry at his wife because she wakened him up from sleep, and interrupted his beautiful dream, to gibber over his head that the house in which he is  sleeping is collapsing or burning..

There are so many facts that dreamers, addicts, dervishes, and sluggish people refuse to believe, the first of these facts: that astronomy goes on!! A heavy tragic fact, that cuts the bath of hope, before we get sure that we have built the house we want. We always have things we want to do...

Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) said: “this is the man” and lined a short line, “and this is his hope” and draw in front of  this short line a long line,  and said: “and this is his fate”, then  lined a crossing line that cut the way of the far extended line of hope.

In the horizon of Hope there is nothing but illusions. And the accomplished and studied work according to the data facts, and facts of time and place, is the real achievement. Action is the knowledge, will, and ability, according to al-Ghazali. In the framework of this continuum we think as thinking should be. It is just in the world of poetry we can scream without voice, without wings we can fly, and without walking we can step. 

There are many people who preach always such things, and build on it, perform, win, and own... and When you rub your eyes in front of them to hear them well; they tell you: close your eyes, these words should not be heard by the seer...

A drop of dew sparkling in front of you, has calculated very good the center of gravity on the smooth cheek of the glowing red apple related on the tree, battered by the four winds and settled then...

And woe ... conceited drop of dew Did not notice a that apple thread to which it relate is weak and moldy.
