داستان زهرا

maryam Dec. 29, 2023, 7:55 p.m.

من یک دختر 9 ساله هستم و اسمم زهرا است. من دوست دارم با عروسک هایم بازی کنم و داستان های خیالی برای آنها بسازم. اما امروز مادرم گفت که باید برای یک مهمانی خانوادگی آماده شوم. من دوست ندارم به مهمانی ها بروم چون خیلی خسته کننده هستند. همه بزرگسال ها درباره کار و سیاست حرف می زنند و من را نمی شناسند. من تنها یک دختر کوچک هستم که دوست دارد بازی کند.

من از مادرم خواستم که بگذارد من در خانه بمانم و با عروسک هایم بازی کنم. اما او گفت که نمی توانم و باید با او بیایم. او گفت که مهمانی در خانه ی عمویم است و او یک هدیه خیلی خاص برای من دارد. من کنجکاو شدم و پرسیدم که هدیه چیست. اما او گفت که باید تا رسیدن به خانه ی عمویم صبر کنم.

من با مادرم رفتم و در ماشین نشستم. من …

Where did I come from, what was my coming for?

khayam Jan. 4, 2024, 6:55 a.m.

سالها فکر من این است و همه شب سخنم
که چرا غافل از احوال دل خویشتنم

از کجا آمده ام آمدنم بهر چه بود
به کجا می روم آخر، ننمایی وطنم؟

خیام

For years my thought is this and all night my speech
Why am I unaware of the state of my heart?

Where did I come from, what was my coming for?
Where am I going, finally, you don’t show me my homeland?

Khayam

Story:

He woke up in a strange room, with no memory of who he was or where he came from. He looked around and saw a window, a door, a bed, and a table. On the table, there was a book, a pen, and a paper. He picked up the book and opened it. It was a collection of poems by Omar Khayyam, a Persian poet he had never heard of. He read the first poem:

The Alarm

The Alarm

Every morning, the alarm goes off at 6:00 am. Every morning, he has to get up, put on his uniform, and report to his assigned station. Every morning, he has to smile and greet his neighbors, who are also wearing the same uniform and going to the same station. Every morning, he has to pretend that he is happy and normal.

He hates it.

He hates the alarm, the uniform, the station, the neighbors, the smile. He hates the society that expects him to conform to their standards of normalcy. He hates the fact that he can't express his true self, his true feelings, his true thoughts.

He is different.

He likes to read books, listen to music, watch movies, play games. He likes to explore new ideas, learn new things, create new things. He likes to be alone, to be free, to be himself.

He is not …

You Exist! Enjoy it!

khayam Jan. 25, 2024, 9:06 a.m.

خیام اگر ز باده مستی خوش باش
با ماهرخی اگر نشستی خوش باش

چون عاقبت کار جهان نیستی است
پندار که نیستی چو هستی خوش باش

Khayyam, if you are drunk, enjoy it
If you sit with a beauty, enjoy it
Because the end of the work of the world is nothingness
Imagine that you do not exist, you exist. Enjoy it!

Story:

He was a young man who hated life. He suffered every hardship that came his way. He lost his job, he had no money, he was in debt. He had no one to love, no one to care, no one to support him.

He cared too much about the troubles of the world. He worried about the future and the past. He thought too much about the meaning and the purpose of his existence. He never lived in the moment, in the here and now.

He found a poem from Khayam, that …

Ali was not like other kids. He lived in a busy city, surrounded by skyscrapers and traffic, but he dreamed of money. He wanted to know how it worked, how to make it, and how to use it wisely.

His parents taught him the basics of finance: earn, save, spend. They gave him chores and paid him for his work. Ali learned fast and looked for more ways to earn.

Jack was a software developer who loved his job. He enjoyed solving problems, creating applications, and learning new technologies. He was proud of his skills and his portfolio.

But lately, he had been feeling anxious and insecure. He had heard about the new trends of generative AI, which could produce code, design, and content with just a few inputs. He had seen some of the examples online, and they looked impressive and realistic. He wondered if his job was in danger, if he would soon be replaced by a machine that could code faster and better than him.

He decided to try out one of the generative AI tools, just to see what it could do. He signed up for a free trial and entered a simple prompt: "Create a web app that allows users to upload and edit photos". He clicked the generate button and waited.

To his surprise, …

World Is Not Just

گر کار فلک به عدل سنجیده بدی
احوال فلک جمله پسندیده بدی
ور عدل بدی به کارها در گردون
کی خاطر اهل فضل رنجیده بدی

If the world was governed by justice
Everything in the world was done correctly
In the world, things were done based on justice
When were the wise in the world worried?
