@Elham It will be difficult for your country to move out of hostility any soon precisely because, it's been a party of regional cold war since the islamic revolution of 1979. Take a look at this - So Iran has to continue the war for the sake of her own survival until all the parties in the middle east decides to lay down their weapon and call for peace. Personally, i don't see that happening anytime soon. I was surprised to see that under the authoritarian govt of Reza Shah, Iran was secular and a keen follower of western values. I think women back at that time used to wear skirts like western women. It is impossible to see such thing in present day Iran. I think women have more rights before than now. The big problem with Reza Shah govt was that it was just a puppet of US and the west. US wanted the oil of Iran and that is why they literally put reza shah in power and supported that govt (isn't it irony because at the same time US likes to think of her as the torch bearer of democracy, lol). So long story short, 1979 happened to Iran and now we see that once an ally has now a threat to the US and the west. I do not think a solution is easy here. To secure peace, all the parties have to change their position from hostility to peace loving. With the rising popularity of far right parties throughout the world, i can see only things getting worst in the near future.

@purerogue Not True.

@Meetjoeblack dude, from where do you import these shitty ideas? I am male and my major was in international relations (arts faculty). My sister is a doctor. Can you see how gross and over generalized position you hold? Perhaps you should get an arts degree on women and gender studies to get some accurate ideas on feminism to save yourself from you bastardized, toxic and deluded view on feminism. Your biases are not in your fact, they are on how you interpret them. If you feel so victim as male, start a movement for male rights but do not come from the place of wounded ego on feminism.

@Angelite That's great. It seems to me that you have got interest in learning about different religion. If i may ask, what religion did you inherit from your family? What is the purpose of learning different religions?

@Angelite As an ex muslim, i was pretty surprised to see you deeply believing it and writing about it in the forum. Few years ago, i dived deep into the religion stuff, learned and practiced until i realized the delusion of it. Anyways, i just asked out of curiosity.

Sometimes failure hits very hard. It becomes even harder to collect shits and stand again. What if it breaks a person permanently? We see people succumbing to sever depression. Is it sort of weakness or a part of the system?

@Angelite Do you believe in Islam?

01/10/2020 It's been comparatively a good day. I was less anxious and more focused. I have covered my routine to study mostly, found an amazing app which is helping me to learn vocabulary. Although i think i could do well nevertheless i am happy that at least i started. Many of my relatives have come to my house today. I don't like them and today i have found myself secretly disliking (or should i say hating?) them. They come to visit once in a while and give me bunch of stupid advice. I fear that in future i might get stuck because this is a common incident in my society like giving advice in free and then create indirect and direct pressure upon the targeted person. I believe a healthy boundary is necessary among relatives which is quite absent in the society i live in. This is disgusting. I do not want to engage in these negative thoughts. All i want to do is work hard and have success.

What is the point of commitment in a relationship if it is meant not forever, like people do breakup quite frequently, many of them are divorcing and many of them want divorce but staying in the marriage just because of their children/social obligation. Even science also tells us that both men and women are not monogamous in nature. So in my point of view, if commitment is for staying together for life, it's a lie. Can there be other kind of commitment? I certainly don't have any knowledge about that.

@Anna1 @Anna1 yeah i had read @Parththakkar12 's some response and i had some conversation with him in this thread. Although he seemed pretty ignorant and made some disgusting comments, i still think that calling someone sexist male pig is being sexist. If i call myself stupid that does not mean i have given everyone the right to call me stupid.period.

@Anna1 isn't calling someone sexist male pig already being a sexist and sign of degradation?

I do not know where the future path is gonna take me to, but one thing i am certain that no matter what - i am going to be the winner. I will win. I will succeed. I have the belief that if you persevere and have patience, you will succeed no matter what. That is what defines me. I am going to win it all.

01/09/2020 I have been worrying about things right now. The thing that is keeping me going on worrying is that - 1. I haven't got my results of graduation yet. I need to go to university but that is giving me hard time because i have some shitty memory there and i might bumped into the person i share those memories with which is the last thing i want. I am also tensed about my results. They are stuck. But what if i failed? I haven't attended many classes and i have poor marks in tutorials, so i am worried as shit. 2. In order to avoid doing masters, i need to get into MBA.i feel lazy to study, i haven't been studying for the last couple of days. This is giving me some hard times. 3. What if the fucking MBA programme shuts down because the protest of regular students? What if it closes down because the govt wants it to? I fucking do not know. It has been an issue in my country that whether our public universities should be allowed to run "commercial" courses aka evening/weekend programmes. I fear that if it shuts down, i might have no choice but to join fucking masters. Life feels like hell. I just pray that in the end, it's all going to be well. That is all i want. I just want it to work for me.

@Leo Gura I understand that to some extend commitment is important. My question is, to what extend? In relationships, people like to say they are committing for life. Is it fair or honest to commit like that? Because most people don't stay with each other forever.

01/08/2020 Yes, i have lost many things throughout the last couple of years. It kinda felt like gamble and i lost it all. I was broken, numbed, depressed and anxious like hell but i did not give up and i won't in the future. This year will be the year of my resurgence. I promise myself that i will become successful with all get involved. I promise myself by saying that - dude, you have suffered a lot, you have been through hell - i get that. But from now on- you will stand on your own two feet and win it all fuckingly. This is your year and i am gonna pour all the world's love in you. Your time has come. Claim it all.

01/07/2020 For the last couple of days, i have been feeling very down. I am just unable to motivate myself to do the work i needed to to. One thing can be responsible for it is that i have been sleeping in the day most of the time (like going to bed at 5:00 am and waking up at 2:00 pm). It can be a potential reason behind feeling demotivated lately. Another reason can be that i am now a days thinking about the past and what made me put in the position that i am in today. My motivation to do pursue a MBA is a fear based one. I wanna avoid going for masters in my current department for some reasons, that is why i am trying to pursue something else which will be equivalent or more than that as achievement. So it is a fear based, neurotic motivation, that can be the reason why i sometimes feel like i am dragging myself. Also i catch myself many times worrying about future? Questions like - am i taking the right decision now? Will it take me to the place i desire to be in or will it just fail to do so? I am just taking my day off today. I think i need to recharge myself to be right back again.

I think abortion is a personal choice. It takes two people to make a baby and those two are primarily responsible for the baby. If they do not want to bring it in the world, they should be allowed to do so because it is their life, their choice. State won't take the responsibility for a baby as its parents. Even if the state allow citizens to abandon their baby and give it to govt's care, it won't be enough because that can not give the baby proper care as its parents could. Not bringing a child is better than giving it a dysfunctional life.

@Derek White Well i don't know what sadhguru thinks about CAA but i have been listening to him for a while. It seemed to me that his enlightenment and spiritual talks are just fine but when it comes to local politics, i get hiccups. I know quite a bit about indian politics as a student of politics and of course, as Bangladeshi i try to keep update what's going on in our neighbour state. Most of the time i sense sadhguru leaning towards right wing/conservatism and implicitly despising the left/progressives in India. I mean he does not directly do it, but i got the sense from his policy choices. To me, i feel like he always try to be "neutral" by maintaining the status quo as it is in India. As India is mostly a stage blue country, that can be a reason why he sounds like a conservative. I am not sure about that but that is what i think of his views on local politics. I am not a fan of that. Sometimes i think about Osho and it surprises me that how sadhguru has quite an opposite personality than Osho. Osho was quite controversial, but i liked him because it seemed to me that he was not fearful when he spoke, in fact quite the opposite. But sadhguru is quite like a person who plays by the book and smells like traditional and with "no surprise element" like osho. I compare this two person because they have come from the same country and they are both enlightened. There are no other reason to compare though.

@Derek White Did sadhguru tell these?

@Parththakkar12 lol I don't wish to participate in this stupidity of circular logic. Good luck

@Parththakkar12 nobody choose to get oppressed. As for men, some are more courageous than others. Same goes for women.

Right is not a tangible thing that is finite and be traded as some material. People CREATE rights. It"s the ego of some men that thinks they are the one to give or take away rights. In my country, many women are protesting and in many cases, bleeding. They failed in many cases with some success. Yet progress is happening. Remember, half of the population is women and if they decide, they can have their right even without the support of men, although it won't be healthy but reverse patriarchy. Patriarchy and masculine/feminine energy is not the same thing in my POV.

@Parththakkar12 your idea of feminism failing/winning without/with support of men is the thing that makes you biased and deluded.

@Parththakkar12 man, your level of delusion and lack of perspective is damn high. I invite you to my country, live here for few years then you will know how exactly many man violate and discriminate against women. Not only in my place, but also in many places women are treated literally as "slaves" by many men. In fact it is a norm to do so in most of the third world countries. Here, men decides for women about when they will be "allowed" to go out, do what and don't. They control their lives like a master. If anyone tells them about feminist movement they will straightforwardly condemn them, deny them, threat them and start violence against them. They will do that because they won't like their "privilege" over women being stripped off by feminist movement. So your statement that men in general have supported feminism is absolutely absurd and laughable. You are talking from toxic masculine standpoint which will cause you disservice if you hold onto them for long.

@Nivsch i don't think the Israel as illegal, i said it is what arab thinks. UN recognised you before the attack, i get that. You have the right to defend yourself- its also fine. But eventually, as all other sane nations try, Israel have to ensure their neighbour of their good intention to keep the peace in the region. And yet it do not recognise the Palestinians. Without any settlement, every year it pushes the palestine with new reconstructions. Arabs are angry because of this because they think Israel is exploiting the palestine aka muslim people. If you have the right to form a country based on religion, they also feel obligated for muslims.
