Writing out of love about famine and the almond tree

What if we had almond trees planted on the side of the streets? I am not suggesting cherries nor apples because I have a reason. But really what if? Wouldn't this type of plantation eradicate hunger from the face of the earth?

Few years ago I saw a palm tree planted in a square in Budapest, of course it needed special care and it was beautiful.... Nostalgic for me coming from south of Iran if you want :) I will have to see next time I travel to Budapest if it is still there, they had to cloth it in winter and you should know some homeless people die in Budapest in the cold season because of cold.

Then you see in Dubai they have trees that definitely don't grow in deserts :) but they do in Dubai. Yes you want to say they have the money to spend on that? Yes I am with you, they do. Where is that money coming from by the way? Oil? Oil that they found in the Earth/sea? Wouldn't that belong to all the people of the earth? Who decided that the woods in Brazil belong to Brazilians only?

What if the science, the atomic energy would be used for saving lives in Africa, maybe to plant an almond trees on their pavement? Do we need the atomic energy for bombs, and knowledge of the human DNA for cloning?Do we really need a Palm tree in Budapest and a Pine tree in Dubai? Do we?

What if we didn't need to see the picture of starving children in Africa not only because it makes us feel so sad, helpless and angry but because they belong, they deserve, and the earth and all its resources are theirs too. Aren't we tired of this much ugliness in the world? War, abuse, famine, poverty, prejudice, addictions, injustice,....?

Right now no matter how much I am trying to turn my thoughts and get ready to go to world Woman programs in Oslo I am thinking about what if the intelligent nerds would find a way to plant almond trees in Africa so as those kids would taste almonds, would see the beauty of its blooms, would play under its shadow and when they would fall in love they would hear a bird chirping on its branches....?!!

Writing out of love about playfulness and moderation

Do you have moderation in your life? Are you a self-disciplined person and have a healthy balance between work, rest, reflection and play?

I am pretty sure you have a job and you rest more or less, I don’t know if you reflect, not many people do : ) but how do you play? I am so curious about that.

I was recently on a business trip, in the evening some people gathered in clicks, I joined the card playing group and I did play too and I enjoyed it as long as I felt it was just a game. The moment I felt there is a feeling of competition and winning and loosing is a matter, I left the game happily : ) and got engaged into an interesting but light conversation.

Most of us are drawn into result-oriented jobs where we don’t seem to enjoy the process. If we want to have a look at the proportion of process and result and the feeling of joy which is bound to it, isn’t the process longer that the last feeling of win? Why would we then do this to ourselves? Suffering for a long time for a moment of win that passes so quickly and follows a depression, well, yes, in lucky situations it may get into our CV : ) but when it comes to games and play, why not just enjoy the process?

So going back to moderation, how do you play? And with that I mean play like when we were kids?

And if your life was a theater, a play, what role would you like to have? This is my first question. Think about it! This is a very serious question by the way.

 If you have the answer to my first question, then why are you not playing the role you want? What prevents you from doing that? Do you really think you will have another chance to live this life? Are you kidding me or yourself?
So far the one person I have met who is playing the role he loves is Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam the Iranian dancer and choreographer.

The role I would and have chosen for myself is romantic comedy, I happen to be a medical doctor, wish me good luck for my role in this life : ) 

How about you get to the depth of your heart, find the role you want and, play it, if you don’t like it, change it, but always play...let's play just like when we were kids <3
