Oh, it is nice to see your reply. Yes, you are right, we don't even have any slight idea of the walking you mentioned. But I believe Iraq and Iran have been warring rivals for so many years and just wonder how they can stay with each other peacefully (Well, perhaps you may tell me Muslims under the sky are friends or brothers, but considering you fought each other like god and demon, sometimes this is a hard question to many of us outsiders.)

A while back I worked in another Muslim country Bangladesh where there was short of bitumen supply that was needed for road construction, so we imported through the local refinery a large quantity of Iranian oil products for our project there, and that was the first direct tie we had with your great country.

A student of graduate level now, I live in Nanning, in the south of China, very far away from Ningbo, which is located in the east. As you know, China is so big that there are many places that I haven't been to. Ningbo is a port city with thriving business, but that is what I hear because I have never been there either, perhaps you can share with me and other forum users your photos or personal experience there

Ni ha Sitang
Hope everything goes well for you , about the Arbaeen walking , I explain more later

About relation of Iran -Iraq relation , i send you some points to you , may it help you to find the answer of your question

at the time of Sadam Hussien , the demised president of Iraq ,he attacked Iran and started the war , Sadam Hussien was a despotic president , so many people of Iraq were not agree to fight against Iran , Sadam sent people to frontier by force . also Sadam killed many of Iraqi people , he was crazy , he attacked with chemical weapons to one of Iraq city ( Halabja) killed 5000 people most civilian,10000 people injoured , the chemical weapons which was sold by Germany to Iraq.

If I want to explain why Sadam attacked Iran , it will be a long story , but in a not shell , Sadam was supported by USA and many European government during the war , his mission was to overthrow the IRan Islamic revolution.

Sadam Hussien was not supported by most people of Iraq , so when the war finished and Sadam died , people of Iraq were happy , and Iran and Iraq started their friendly relations, and Iran helped Iraq in many aspects.
Specially when the ISIS attacked Iraq , ISIS captured many areas in Iraq ,so Iran sent his troops to Iraq to fight against ISIS , although ISIS was supported by USA in all military operation , but Iran could defeated ISIS and killed many of them in Iraq , some of them run away , or were taken to Afghanestan by USA to keep them for future war, now the ISIS has not any power in Iraq.


it is enough for now , I have some work to do

[Mohsen]

Oh, it is nice to see your reply. Yes, you are right, we don't even have any slight idea of the walking you mentioned.

I send you more information and pictures about Arbaeen .
Arbaeen is a holy day for Muslim people , particularly Shia sector .
About 10 day before Arbaeen day people gather in one city of Iraq ( Najaf) , then they walk from Najaf to another city of Iraq ( Karbala.
many people from Iran and other countries took part in this ceremony .

Iranian goes to Iraq through several border's entrance . many Iranian goes by bus or plane and some of them by private cars , They park the cars behind the border , and enter the Iraq , then , they get on a bus ,and will go to Najaf

This is the picture of one of the parking behind the border






This is the road between Najaf and Karbala , about 80 Km full of people who are walking

Hello Taravat , nice to write about your topic
some people can't keep their secrets and the reveal their secrets soon , these people are not normal ,because if they don't speak ,they will be ill with croup. so as they can't keep their secrets and reveal it soon , no body can trust them because of their sickness.

[Taravat]

Hi Mohsen
Welcome back. May Allah accept your pilgrimage.  Write more about it.
 Well... As to the topic '' We are as sick as our secrets.'', you have explained your opinions pretty well. Thank you very much.
I looked at this topic from a different angle. In my humble opinion, the sentence says that keeping secrets might be unhealthy sometimes. What secrets? A good question. I dont mean we reveal our personal information and secrets.
Im talking about wrongdoing and everything makes us feel bad afterwards. Lemme give an example to make it clear. Suppose Im a doctor. I inject a wrong medication to a poor patient and she dies. Nobody is around, and I keep it secret. I made a wrongdoing and kept it secret. Right? The secret will be like a burden which is with me all the time and I carry it around. I'd feel bad even if I got used to that. In other words, the negative feeling will always be with me.
This could be the case in every other situation such as cheating, faking, pretending, etc. Also, people who dont pretend and show their real and genuine personality traits are healthier.
Whats your idea? Do you agree with me?
By the way, I guess some people are talkative because their are lonely. Any idea?

thank you dear friend , I visited 6 Imam holy shrine plus Imam Hussein 's brother majesty Abulfazal.
I had a kind of feeling that I was beside the kindness people in the world , and that was my chance to be there once more , during the travel I met many people , every night I slept beside a persons from another city , one night I slept and hug a clergyman from Gorgan , one night a fisherman from Mazandaran , one night a national athlete from Karaj ,one night a young boy from Narmak, one night a teacher from Oromieh, and the nights which I slept beside people of Iraq , an engineer of communication from Najaf , one night in Karbala I was in a Iraqi 's lounge, first we made prayer and we were received with dinner, then a clergy man gave speech in Arabic ,although I didn't understand Arabic ,but I got what he was telling , he was Ayatollah Sistani representative .
In the road of Samera ,we were laughing a lot , because there are many Army stations to check the people . In one station they asked one of my friend to get off the bus, the Araqi soldier said that he is Askari , and we laughed at the soldier and said , no he is Akbari, Askari in Arabic mean military , my friend wore a military pants , and he was asked to change his pants, hereafter we called him Mr. Askari pants.

See you
I will write more about your subject

Sounds like more of an adventurous journey than a religious pilgrimage to me! You know whats interesting?! Most pilgrims talk about the accommodations, foods, etc when they get back from this holy pilgrimage. I would like to read more about the spiritual aspects of visiting our Imams' holy shrines. Is it equal to the feeling we experience when we visit our Imam Reza ( PBUH)? If not, why?
By the way, this pilgrimage has brought us some bad news too. A staff in my workplace lost her husband. He was on duty there as a police officer. I'm too upset about it. May Allah rest his soul in peace and bestow his peace on his loved ones.

This is similar to fast month of Ramadan , people talk about foods , because the pilgrims walks too much ,they talk about food , that is important how to feed . Arbaeen Walk is more political movement ,not a spiritual , that is like the day of Ghods ,this a biggest demonstration to show the Imam Mahdi supporters , many people don't visit the holy shrines in Arbaeen walk , they just send a hello to Imam from distance when the see the golden dome and come back, it shows the unity of Shia , the motto is the love of Hussein gather us together. also the unity of Iraq and Iran which is very harmful for enemies , they always try to make disagreement between two nations, you saw that at the first days a bus of Iranian pilgrims was attacked by some hireling and some people were killed and some injured.
about the spiritual aspects of visiting our Imams' holy shrines , it depends to insight , wisdom , knowledge of people . when people say prayers how much they are near to Allah. ,it depends to how much they have knowledge and how much they love Allah . visiting the Imam's holy shrine is the same .Many people ask Imam to cover their demands , because we have a narration which say what ever demands you ask for under the Imam Hussein dome , it will be granted .
Sorry for that police man death , God bless him . Some people were killed during the travel to Iraq , I saw a bad car accident near the boarder on the way back to Iran , several people were killed, that is the driver who drive too fast and couldn't control the car. we have this kind of accident during the new year holiday.

Have you ever gone to Iraq ? how was your feeling?

Note: two hours ago, after I finished the writing the reply and posted it the network had some unknown problems that made my efforts in vain, so I have to write it another time.

Hi, dear Iranian friends, whether you are the same family or an actor in three roles at the same time, I would say nice to meet you again.

Mr. Mohsen, when you tells us that you slept with many fellow travelers, it sounds like you are a king having too many concubines who offer best service to you, and it also reminds me of Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales”, in which he also slept with many of his fellow pilgrims during their journey, but seen in the modern context, you might have been known as GAY.

On Oct 23, our host team Guangzhou Evergrande played against a Japanese club during their Asian Federation Championship, with an Iranian serving as a referee. But this guy strongly prejudiced against our team and favored much the Japs. He might be beat next time when he comes to China again, it is hard to say.

Chinese media for the first time told us that Iranian women fans are permitted into the stadium for watching football matches. I remember that it was back in 1990 during the Beijing Asian Games Iranian women shooters appeared in the field with black masks covering their faces, looking like professional killers.

Hello Sitang,
first you should wash your mind ,there is a proverb which say Every madman thinks all other men mad. that is why you say I am actor in three roles ,maybe you make several fake names in the campus.

I don't know what has happened for you when you were sleeping in dormitory beside your friends ,maybe they misused you as a gay , so when you hear that a person slept beside other travelers ,you consider him as a gay , you remember your bitter memories .maybe you are actually a concubine following the Chaucer in real life.

usually when a team is defeated the fans are going to find an excuse for their defeat , it is better to make your team more strong , not to accuse the Iranian referee.

your media have no news ,except that some women entered the stadium in Iran , what a important news
did your media tell you In Nonrthern Ireland, the UK Parliament will soon legalize same-sex marriage and abortion. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that does not allow same-sex marriage, and in 2019 human is allowed legally to do an action which animals don't do.

it is better you speak about problems of prisoners in China and how the government suppress the Muslim people in China , what is that your media don't dare to write about it

[Taravat]

Chill out guys. We are here to meet people from different countries, practice English with one another, and learn more about other nations and countries.
These controversial topics are pointless and get you nowhere. We should cherish and respect our differences in terms of beliefs, opinions, backgrounds, and whatnot. Lets enjoy our company here.

Mohsen, thanks for your detailed descriptions. Its a pity I havent crossed the borders of my country yet. One of my dreams is to travel to different spots on the globe.
Sitang, thanks for your reply. Im pleased to meet you too. Id like to learn more about your country. By the way next time you write here or there, save a copy of your written text on your computer. I bet you had it in your mind right after you lost your text.
Meanwhile, Im neither an actress nor I know Mohsen. We are not a single identity. I swear. I met him here and dunno much about him.

OK, it is simply spice added to our usual dull life, so don’t take it too seriously.

In sports games, we all know that fair play is necessary, otherwise it might be a gamble game that is controlled by factors outside the field, and that is the violation of sportsmanship. That Iranian guy who was appointed to work as a referee is notoriously unfair toward Chinese teams, either at club or national side level. Even judging from his performance of that very night you could easily tell he did not work properly. When a Chinese player collided with the Japanese goal keeper out of the restricted area and the former was hurt seriously with bleeding by the strong hit from the latter, the referee signaled that it was the Chinese player who fouled. During an attack, the Chinese striker was intercepted and hit on the throat by a Japanese defender, this Iranian referee only stopped the game and gave no yellow card. Then after a few minutes, in a struggle in the box, two Japanese players who failed to get the ball collided with each other and fell on the ground, the Chinese striker near them were judged foul and lost the chance of a goal.

Though China and Iran are in good relationship, Iranian football players are not so friendly as far as I remembered. During an international game (I am not sure whether it was a World Cup qualifier, an Asian Cup or an Asian Game match), an Iranian player, after passing all of the Chinese defenders and knowing nobody could save the goal, stood right before the goal and put the ball right there on the goal line, then kicked with his back heel the ball slowly and slightly into the net. That is a big humiliation to Chinese fans.

With regard to the killing of Muslims, since we do not have any legal access to world renowned resources, we can only follow the voice of our government. But nowadays those international agencies become unreliable any more, the recent case of 39 people found dead in a British truck revealed they were liars too. Those victims were claimed to be Chinese, but now it was revealed that they might be Vietnamese.

The price of pork is on the rise in China, and Muslims do not eat pork as far as I know, even in the crisis of Bosnia, many Muslims there rejected the pork sent to them to save their lives. I respect them in believing their religion, but I also think they might have been wiser because life is the most precious thing in the world, without which human being becomes nothing and useless.

Hello dear Friend Taravat,
I hope you take a trip to Iraq to visit holy shrine of Imam Hussein and Imam Ali as soon as possible , In Iraq you don't feel that you are in another country , because we have the same religion , also our cultures are near together , what we read in the books about Kufa ,karbala , we will see there and touch it more
I don't know if you are single or got married , maybe you have children , and you had not opportunity to travel , but you should know that we have always a problem in our life , we should not postpone our program , because of problems,
Do you agree with me?

[Taravat]

Hi Mohsen
As to your question about my personal info, I would like to leave your question unanswered. Im certain you are smart enough to guess. Isnt it exciting?
Well... Hopefully or sadly, Im a one-dimentional person. It means I mostly get focused on one task at the moment and can hardly multitask. Though, I do my best to do the jobs as perfect as I possibly can. Ive run into multiple problems due to this perfectionism and lost some opportunities. Im trying to be less strict and perfectionism though. Its not a good strategy in Iran. You know what I mean? Sure you do...We are living in the same country.

Dear Friend,

What is exciting , I don’t know what should I guess.
One dimensional is a general word , but generally one dimensional people become isolated , have less friends and boring , I have a friend , he got married two times ,and divorced two times ,because their wives couldn’t tolerate living with him, he limited his world with learning languages , when he came back to home , he was busy with watching movie with original language . How does a woman endure this kind of life?
Also I know a one dimensional woman who just interested in studying science ,education and university , her husband couldn’t continue living with her , although they had a nice children , he got divorced, , he get married with another woman and his nice girl is living with her foster mother.
Being perfectionism is good ,but it is opposite of one dimensional ,as a paradigm of perfectionism we consider Imam Ali . The kindest people with his family ,people and children , work hard in the field , the longest worship , in the war the most brave man ,in science and theology the book of Nahjolbalgheh ,in mysticism Komail prayer.

We are in the same country , but I didn't get you well

Thanks for your reply.

Indeed. The ancient Greeks, who had a hotline to the gods, knew that perfection was dangerous. Only the gods could be perfect. So they never completed a building to perfection so as not to challenge the gods.

[Taravat]

Joe,
Thank you very much for your explanations.
Mohsen, as Mr Joe in his latest blog beautifully wrote, perfectionism has too much hassles that will go in vain. We humans are fallible and make mistakes. Trying to be perfect could be good provided that it were possible. There is no mere perfection in our earthly world. Only God and our prophets are infallible. We should try to be good instead.
Also, there is nothing wrong with accomplishments unless they again put us in hassles. Imam Ali (PBUH) talked us out of dreams. You know why? Because being obsessed with pursing dreams will leave us nowhere and makes life difficult. Only moderation is recommended.

Hellooo everybody
I'm back. I've been too busy these days and thats why I havent shown up lately. I confess that I missed this place and writing here. I might tell you later What I've been up to.
Mohsen, I'm happy you found my explanations convincing. How have you been these days? Any news?
Tonight, I want to write about patience and tolerance. I believe patience is one of the most important traits. The most basic benefits that patience brings us are tranquility and comfort. People who are patient are living a happier life, are healthier, and in some cases are even more successful. How do we develop this trait in ourselves? Those who undergo difficult situations and hardly complain learn to be more patient. Those who control their wrath and anger are more resilient and patient. Also, tolerant individuals look mature and wiser and are more likeable.

Hardships in our lives are meant to make us more patient and more stronger. Do you agree?

Hello dear
I missed you , I hope you will be busy for ever , because being idle and jobless is the worst thing
I agree with your idea ,hardships ,patience and success come together
In our holy book (Quran) we have a lot of verses about patience .

Therefore have patience, the Promise of Allah is true. Whether We show you something of that We promise them or call you to Us, to Us they shall all return. (40:77)

and poet Hafiz Shirazi says: Patience and success are friends of each other, Success comes as a result of patience.

Patience and perseverance, tolerance and forbearance are common traits of the world’s most successful people. Patience is a very high quality of man.

Finally patience is the key of success .
And should be careful patience against injustice and being oppressed , is the big sin and disaster . God doesn't accept people who are patience in this case ,and this is a trait of inferiority

yours sincerely

Hi dear friends ,

Have ever been in Isfahan , If you want to travel Iran , you can visit the traditional city of Isfahan
