Religion as Opium of the People

Now is Ramadan and Reza speaks about Karl Marx: Religion is Opium of the Masses. "According to Marx, religion is an expression of material realities and economic injustice. Thus, problems in religion are ultimately problems in society. Religion is not the disease, but merely a symptom. It is used by oppressors to make people feel better about the distress they experience due to being poor and exploited. This is the origin of his comment that religion is the “opium of the masses” — but as shall see, his thoughts are much more complex than commonly portrayed. " I think he is a religious man that influenced by don't taking fast, is justifying, legalizing.

Karkas

A few days ago, one of my maybe best friends, Morteza, had gone to Asadabad. Nearly 10 kilometer east of Asadabad, there is a village called Khondab. I think nowadays approximately 20 family are living in this village. Agriculture and ranching are main professions of Khondab families, like most people of Asadabad region (or in other words Asadabad flat), and walnut and grape are main agricultural products. Laki is language of village, one of the branches of Kurdish.
Morteza had captured some pictures from our village. Most beautiful pictures are those that had been captured from Karkas, an estimated 3000 meter height peak.
35 years ago, our family migrated from Khondab to Asadabad and inhabited in Sare-e-viar alley. Because of some geographical causes, nature of this village has remained virgin. A picturesque view from Karkas, are observable in this post. Enjoy it.

Routineness

Today, like other days of these two recent years, by metro, and a course by bus, arrived my office. Pressed "turn on" button of my computer, hanged on my coat from clothes tree, shake handed with male fellows and "salaamed" to others.
Opening a news website, checking emails and via "www.asadabadi.ir"'s linkage, reviewing web logs of townsmen are my first daily activities.
Reza, postgraduate of economy, from Tehran University, is closest person to me in Contracts office, IPDC organization. Other fellows are Mr. Tehrani, Mr. Hassan beik, Mr. Zia'i and so on.

(I don’t remember), winner of 1988 Noble Prize, with an (I think) existentialistic content, that attempted to read, in a unsuccessful effort, today morning. The book is in my sport bag, now.

Innocent Children

Sometimes I think that this severe emotion is under influence of media. Emotions due to seeing pictures that have been published from children of Gaza. But when I see TV channels of ever-enemy countries of Palestinian, such as CNN and BBC, that even these are anger and concerned about tragic situation of Gaza, "under attack and fire" city, assure that "this is not media influence". This is real. They are innocent killed children of a immured city.

But a Shelter

"A young couple, with a child, don't afford about rental. They are honest, but poor. They are looking for a job like guarding a project or a residential complex, anywhere. They do not want salary or other fringe benefits, but a shelter."
This is text an advertisement that apparently has been published in one of the Iranian newspapers. Seeing this Ad made me very angry and maybe tearful. Many people of Tehran have such, if not exaggerating, situation.
