I Love to be alive!

From Mrs.Behi: I remember Long time ago I read a book entitled “Emotional Intelligence” by "Daniel Goleman",  while reading, I was amazed by the magnificent power of our brain but after finishing it, one question came to my mind, what is the role of our spirit when the fact is that our reflections, emotions and analyses are the result of chemical reactions in our brain.
I do love immortality; maybe it sounds egotistic. People die as if they’ve never been alive :-(.

Anyway, I'm all alone at the moment and am waiting for Mr.Behi to come. He has done his job successfully as always and I'm so happy for him :-).

To wear or not to wear

From Mrs Behi: In Iran the matter of wearing headscarf or "Hijab" is somehow complicated. In this country the type of Iranian women in this subject can be categorised into three levels: Religious, nonreligious and… I really don’t know what I can name the third group.

The foundation of the religious ones is based on some pictures from “Shah period” like: unrestrained relationships, some drunken people without following any ethical beliefs that they could freely walk on the streets and made trouble for women, very low-level Persian movies which were destroying their original culture, I personally don’t have a very specific comment about the level of exaggerating this perception but I think some of those conditions that were present in old times are still around! I know many women who create a direct link between staying spiritual and keeping distant from any thing could call the “Shah time”, so they believe Hijab is a very welcoming action which protects them and keeps society safe from dirty atmosphere.

Another type belongs to women who have been or heard of that period but their sight is completely diverse like: the sense of freedom about wearing whatever you wish, drinking whatever you want, many new things that had been applied and established for the first time at that period such as: cinemas, a fast improvement in music field, academic education for women. Good reputation that we had in all over the world for Iran and in one word: development, so every thing that has the symbol of restricted religious rules sounds staying left behind from civilised world, so Hijab from their point of view is rejected completely.

The last non-named ones are the women who follow it because they fall into the habit of doing it or because their husbands or fathers want them to apply it.

I personally prefer to use a normal headscarf in this period of time of Iran because of two reasons: 1. I have to because I don’t have any other choices and not applying is considered as an illegal behaviour. 2. I think the attitude of many of Iranian men is not normal when a lady wears a kind of free dressing and I cannot stand their curious stare and their unbearable flirting attitude towards women when they walk in the streets and therefore I feel more comfortable with Hijab. Maybe time will resolve this problem but I’m not so sure if it requires a long long time.

Mrs.Behi is on her way

(By Mrs.Behi): Sometimes I imagine I'm walking in a road with different signs and events,each of them from time to time changes my ways,affects the structure of my mind and shakes my beliefs.I don't know how good it is to change throughout several years.
several years ago, I entered university and started studying in the field that I wasn't interested that much (it has its own story) so as a natural result I had to face some difficulties. In Iran it is not easy to change your major in University.
One and half years later I met Mr.Behi exactly in the middle of my struggle. I started to accept the fact that this is the field I'm supposed to study and build my career based on it. I'm not sure that acceptance was the result of meeting Mr.Behi or it happened because I actually was growing up, maybe it was the result of both.
After graduation I needed to give some space to myself in order to find out what should I do for the rest of my life to be satisfied and feel dynamic.
I finally found the answer, four keys for happy life + one desired field to continue my education and I am still in my space! They are intellectually simple,easy to understand, hard to achieve and practise BUT surprisingly possible : peace, wisdom, love, freedom of mind and...Biochemistry! of course for me:-).
I would love to be able to get all of them completely. So far love is the first key that I've been enough blessed to have it perfectly.
In the meantime of having these experiences I have been dealing with different characters, beliefs, attitudes and in some extent with different worlds. Some of them; I believe are impressive and reasonable.
Every new way which I've been turning over is the beginning of a new little discovery; I hope they lead me to a better human being.

Mrs.Behi is so glad to be here!

Hi, this is Mrs.Behi who is talking... in fact writing to you. This is the first time that I've decided to come here not as a permanent reader but as an occasional writer who knows Mr.Behi not just from his words but from HER heart and wants to share this lovely, warm area with him. I thought being in a real life with Mr.Behi has had a wonderful feeling for me so it's so possible to feel the same while I'm breathing here in his space :-). I’m going to do his job from my point of view every now and then.

Well let's give you some perspective about myself. Mrs.Behi is a regular Iranian woman who wants to know what exactly she's doing in this world, however she first needs to know herself and her true desires and feelings. she's trying so hard or maybe she thinks she's trying to figure these things out.

I will come back soon ;-).
