																			Arsia 
																			Moghaddam 
																			
																			
																			Adversity 
																			and 
																			cruelty 
																			is 
																			not 
																			particularly 
																			for 
																			crocodiles, 
																			wolfs, 
																			hyenas, 
																			lions 
																			and 
																			male 
																			humans, 
																			but 
																			other 
																			animals 
																			as 
																			male 
																			zebras 
																			are 
																			also 
																			afoul 
																			to 
																			it. 
																			Feeders, 
																			predators 
																			all 
																			eat 
																			each 
																			other 
																			but 
																			still 
																			there 
																			is 
																			love 
																			and 
																			kindness 
																			among 
																			them. 
																			The 
																			nature 
																			is 
																			beautiful 
																			but 
																			also 
																			cruel 
																			and 
																			limited. 
																			The 
																			world 
																			has 
																			no 
																			enough 
																			space 
																			for 
																			all 
																			the 
																			creatures 
																			coming 
																			to 
																			world. 
																			The 
																			odds 
																			of 
																			each 
																			of 
																			these 
																			creatures’
																			
																			
																			
																			
																			birth 
																			was 
																			almost 
																			zero. 
																			Most 
																			of 
																			the 
																			times 
																			creatures 
																			come 
																			to 
																			world 
																			unmeasurably 
																			and 
																			die 
																			unmeasurably 
																			for 
																			some 
																			reason. 
																			So 
																			the 
																			question 
																			is 
																			has 
																			been 
																			any 
																			special 
																			attention 
																			to 
																			each 
																			of 
																			them 
																			or 
																			is 
																			it 
																			just 
																			luck 
																			and 
																			probability. 
																			Sometimes 
																			accidents 
																			seem 
																			so 
																			meaningless 
																			and 
																			absurd 
																			and 
																			sometimes 
																			full 
																			of 
																			meaning. 
																			For 
																			example 
																			as I 
																			was 
																			writing 
																			this 
																			statement 
																			I 
																			got 
																			to 
																			the 
																			sentence 
																			“Has 
																			been 
																			any 
																			special 
																			attention 
																			to 
																			each 
																			of 
																			them?”
																			
																			
																			
																			
																			that 
																			I 
																			heard 
																			this 
																			poem 
																			from 
																			the 
																			TV:
																			
																			
																			
																			It 
																			is 
																			not 
																			our 
																			business 
																			to 
																			fathom 
																			the 
																			mystery 
																			of 
																			rose, 
																			perhaps 
																			our 
																			business 
																			is 
																			to 
																			flood 
																			within 
																			the 
																			magic 
																			of 
																			the 
																			rose 
																			camp 
																			behind 
																			wisdom. 
																			
																			
																			
																			Now 
																			imagine 
																			an 
																			eternal 
																			world…Maybe 
																			there 
																			the 
																			adversity, 
																			cruelty, 
																			eating 
																			one 
																			another 
																			and 
																			generally 
																			death 
																			has 
																			no 
																			meaning 
																			at 
																			all 
																			and 
																			perhaps 
																			its 
																			dimensions 
																			will 
																			widen 
																			up 
																			as 
																			much 
																			as 
																			needed.
																			
																			
																			 
																			
																			
																			
																			I 
																			have 
																			to 
																			mention, 
																			perhaps 
																			to 
																			draw 
																			and 
																			perform 
																			some 
																			of 
																			the 
																			strange 
																			fortunes 
																			and 
																			sensibilities 
																			appealingly 
																			and 
																			hopefully; 
																			it 
																			is 
																			the 
																			result 
																			of 
																			the 
																			contrast 
																			between 
																			dreams, 
																			wishes 
																			and 
																			overloaded 
																			in-harmonies 
																			of 
																			the 
																			world. 
																			(It 
																			is 
																			noticeable 
																			that 
																			the 
																			obsessive 
																			idealistic 
																			prigs 
																			see 
																			everything 
																			in 
																			harmony. 
																			These 
																			kind 
																			of 
																			people 
																			are 
																			disabled 
																			to 
																			percept 
																			the 
																			beauties.
																			
																			
																			 
																			
																			
																			
																			Around 
																			the 
																			beginning 
																			of 
																			the 
																			year 
																			1994, 
																			to 
																			adapt 
																			my 
																			thoughts 
																			I 
																			harbored 
																			to 
																			my 
																			own 
																			Hollywood 
																			stereopticon, 
																			then 
																			I 
																			knew 
																			that 
																			our 
																			readings 
																			and 
																			senses 
																			towards 
																			things 
																			are 
																			not 
																			necessarily 
																			right 
																			and 
																			sometimes 
																			we 
																			have 
																			to 
																			modify 
																			them. 
																			With 
																			the 
																			space 
																			we 
																			create 
																			for 
																			ourselves 
																			and 
																			our 
																			comments, 
																			we 
																			could 
																			turn 
																			the 
																			world 
																			to 
																			hell. 
																			In 
																			fact, 
																			no 
																			creature 
																			has 
																			the 
																			power 
																			to 
																			bare 
																			all 
																			the 
																			world’s 
																			grieves 
																			inside 
																			but 
																			at 
																			least 
																			if 
																			required, 
																			we 
																			could 
																			punch 
																			someone’s 
																			head 
																			or 
																			call 
																			our 
																			aunt.
																			
																			
																			 
																			
																			
																			
																			In 
																			the 
																			seventies, 
																			I 
																			truly 
																			wanted 
																			the
																			
																			Arisa 
																			Land 
																			cinematic 
																			complex 
																			to 
																			be 
																			build, 
																			but 
																			since 
																			this 
																			wasn't 
																			possible 
																			I 
																			reached 
																			out 
																			for 
																			it 
																			on a 
																			2D 
																			page…and 
																			later 
																			on I 
																			realized 
																			it 
																			is 
																			on 
																			this 
																			same 
																			page 
																			that 
																			all 
																			the 
																			magic’s 
																			and 
																			widen 
																			worlds 
																			form.
