Sad story, yesterday, I happened to mate a boy of 3years serving/working at machanic workshop instead of being in school. Very interesting that I had opportunity to chat with him a little.. I asked "my friend what is your name"? and responds was - no comment, I asked again " where do you come from, what is the name of your town" to my greatest surprised, not even was he ashamed to say something but really he don't know what to say nor do he even understand what i'm requring from him.In ther other hand, I'm wondering how such person will cope with such hard work when himself can't even call out the word "spanner" or some other tools involves in such manchanic works. Personaly to me I saw the boy as person who only knows how to eat food when he feels hungry and responds when he want to easy himself and that is all, the necessary ideas or sense which he surposed must aquired at home or in school has been denied and abused by the parents or guidance.

‘It is natural to die as to be born’ (Francis Bacon)

Introduction

Death is usually understood as the cessation of vital functions in an organism, resulting in the termination of life. However, to say that at death life ends is somewhat misleading. In religious literature a distinction is commonly made between the body and the soul (or spirit), and with this the accompanying belief that whilst the body will die, the soul will move on into another dimension of reality. In light of this religiously minded people tend to postulate the inner, spiritual reality of the human person as constituting the real person. People do not cease to be when their bodily functions cease to work, and their body is discarded. This dualism of body and soul is typically promoted in the major worldviews of Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism right through to the primal religions (although exceptions can always be found). Although Buddhism does not distinguish between the body and soul in the same way (preferring to teach anatta (non-self)), they do accept the belief that the essence of a person (skandhas – material shape, feelings, perception, volition (will), consciousness) is reborn into a new body after death (reincarnation) (for more on this see Buddhism and Life After Death). In philosophy the most famous exponents of the body/soul dualism are Plato (428-347BCE) and René Descartes (1596-1650).

Theories about what happens at death

Theories concerning the afterlife and the place of deceased humans in it are many and varied. However we can usually group them under four main headings.

Soul Sleep/Resurrection – The belief that after death the soul goes to place where it waits for the resurrection day. In the Old Testament souls gathered in Sheol (which describes either the grave itself or ‘a place of shadows’ where souls dwelled). In the New Testament several passages teach that souls await the final return of Jesus when the dead will be resurrected to face judgement.

Embodied Existence – This is the belief that after death the soul is given a new body (although people would still recognise each other) and lives in the spiritual dimension. In Christianity this is the belief that after death the righteous go to heaven whilst the unrighteous go to hell (E.g. Luke 16:19-31). A biblical argument in favour of this belief is that a disembodied soul could not be punished (NB. ‘weeping and gnashing of teeth’ (Matthew 24:51)). It is also taught that those with physical disabilities will not have them in the afterlife.

Reincarnation – A belief commonly associated with Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism although some Christians are incorporating it into their theology as well. This is the understanding that the soul of each person is reborn into another body on earth after death. Rebirth is connected with karma in that the kind of body the soul is reborn into is determined by balancing the good and bad deeds a person has done in their former life/lives and how spiritually enlightened they are. In Hinduism the soul is only liberated from the birth/death/rebirth cycle (samsara) when a person achieves moksha (spiritual liberation and union with Brahman). Buddhism and Sikhism teach alternative versions of this.

Mystical Union – This is the belief that after death the soul becomes one with the Divine (or is incorporated into the Divine). In Hinduism this idea finds expression in Vedantic philosophy (non-dualism). In Buddhism it is called nirvana (or nibbana - which means ‘blowing out’). Mystics of all faiths/beliefs are likely to teach the doctrine of Mystical Union.

Each of these theories concerning the afterlife are formulated on the assumption that the soul is immortal (or will continue to survive after death). In the Western traditions the philosophical foundations for this belief can be traced back to Plato (or Socrates), who argued that the soul is indestructible as it is a simple entity. In other words, it is not reducible (divisible) any further and thus cannot be destroyed (which would entail it being divided into nothing). Contemporary Christian theologians have been keen to ground the immortality of the soul in God (NB. 1 Timothy 6:16), as against the notion that it has innate immortality apart from God. Thus the immortal soul is not an autonomous entity but relies solely on God for its existence (or non-existence).

Shadi Sadr and Mahboubeh Abasgholizadeh have been arraigned, charged with being a "threat to national security," and remanded on March 11 by Evin Ward 209 interrogators authorized by the Ministry of Intelligence of Islamic Republic of Iran. Sadr and Abasgholizadeh are the only two women who still remain in custody after their arrest last week. Thirty-one other women were also arrested but have been gradually released on bail (cash or bond). Sadr is a lawyer and women's rights defender and was arrested while performing her duty defending the women activists on March 4th.

Based on the Criminal Procedure Laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran, at any point in the investigation, the interrogator is authorized to issue a remand and extend the temporary detention until the date of the trial. If not in agreement, the prosecutor has the power to appeal the interrogator's remand to the court system. If the prosecutor does agree with the order of detention – which is often the case – it is very difficult and almost impossible for the prisoners to appeal the collective decision of the prosecutor and the interrogator. As such both Sadr and Abasgholizadeh continue to be in detention since their arrest on March 4th, 2007 without any likely prospect of being released.

Throughout their detention, Sadr and Abasgholizadeh have been interrogated in the absence of their lawyers (Mohammad Mostafaei, Farideh Gheirat, and Elham Fahimi) and were denied the right to speak with them. Furthermore, the detainees are unaware that the interrogator and the prosecutor have refused to speak with their lawyers. In the face of such confusion and the absence of any legal representation, the detainees themselves have been unable to ask for a court hearing.

Abasgholizadeh has been held incommunicado since her arrest. Sadr has had two short telephone conversations with her husband, the last of which was on Saturday, March 10. Sadr's husband, Hossein Nilchian, who contacted the Revolutionary Court authorities on March 11, has confirmed this.
The families of the two have been denied all visitation rights and are extremely alarmed, especially considering the women's medical conditions. According to other women who have recently been released from Evin Ward 209, Sadr and Abasgholizadeh have no access to medical care. Sadr is suffering from chronic stomach ulcer. Abasgholizadeh suffers from arthritis and migraine headaches.
Those recently released described the cells as being damp and very cold. To make matters worse there are no toilets in the cell. As a routine measure, the prisoners are deprived of warmth, since they are given only one blanket and forced to sleep on the cold floor. Mahnaz Mohammadi, who was arrested on March 4 th and recently released, is still suffering from pneumonia. Moreover, those in custody have reportedly been interrogated while blindfolded during the night, and thus, have had little if any sleep.

Article 27 of Iran's Constitution guarantees the citizens' right to assemble peacefully, which is precisely what the women defenders were doing. However, the interrogator/prosecutor claim that their peaceful gathering was instead a threat to Iran's national security. As such Sadr and Abasgholizadeh were charged according to Chapter 16, Article 113 of the Islamic Penal Code: "Whenever two or more people gather and plan to commit a crime against the internal or external security of the country or facilitate the implementation of a crime, … then they will be sentenced to two to five years of imprisonment." http://www.ghavanin.ir/detail.asp?id=6955

The women's rights advocates have become one of the main targets of the recently increased violation of human rights and the rising repression on the civil rights in the name of "national security". Another concern is that certain intelligence authorities seem to be after plotting a "corruption and moral scandal" against some prominent women detainees in order to defame and de-legitimize women's rights cause in the eyes of the larger public.

Sadr and Abasgholizadeh are prominent activists and women rights defenders who have organized the Stop Stoning Forever Campaign, which aims to abolish stoning as a legal form of punishment for adultery. After exposing two incidents of stoning and identifying 10 more individuals condemned to be stoned, the campaign has successfully saved the lives of three women and one man.

The Nursery Rhyme
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child born on the Sabbath Day,
Is fair and wise and good in every way.


This is an old Nursery rhyme supposed to tell your character or future based on the day you were born.

If it were true, do you think people would notice that most models were born on Monday (fair of face) and most dancers were born on Tuesday (full of grace)? Do your own research to find if there is any truth in it!

You know, not far from the White House is a statue of the great liberator, Simon Bolivar. He's often compared to George Washington -- Jorge W. (Laughter.) Like Washington, he was a general who fought for the right of his people to govern themselves. Like Washington, he succeeded in defeating a much stronger colonial power, and like Washington, he belongs to all of us who love liberty. One Latin American diplomat put it this way: "Neither Washington, nor Bolivar was destined to have children of their own, so that we Americans might call ourselves their children."

We are the sons and daughters of this struggle, and it is our mission to complete the revolution they began on our two continents. The millions across our hemisphere who every day suffer the degradations of poverty and hunger have a right to be impatient. And I'm going to make them this pledge: The goal of this great country, the goal of a country full of generous people, is an Americas where the dignity of every person is respected, where all find room at the table, and where opportunity reaches into every village and every home. By extending the blessings of liberty to the least among us, we will fulfill the destiny of this new world and set a shining example for others.

On March 8 2007, the world will celebrate International Women's Day, championing this year's theme
"Ending Impunity for Violence against Women."

United Nation General Assembly take up a resolution on 1977 and invite all member states to join and proclaim a UN Day for woman's rights and International Peace to memorialize the historic struggle in improving women's lives.

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around.
We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them."

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed

"How is it that there is no work going on here?" I asked.


"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked
for, very few send back acknowledgments "

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.


"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord."


"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.


"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy "


"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."


Also .....


" If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day ."


"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world."


"If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world "


"If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare ."


"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair."


Ok, what now? How can I start?


If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
