Описание: Darren Durant returns to Vancouver in 1988 after living in Te-hran for three years and coping with the chaos of the Iran-Iraq war, including nightly missile attacks. He is now determined to establish himself as a painter and find a dependable compan-ion. He had traveled to Iran after an agonizing separation from his beloved wife, Erica. Even the sacrifice to abandon his artis-tic life and work in Erica's flourishing software company as a computer technician had not saved their marriage. A particular canvas he had painted in 1985 at the shores of the Caspian Sea keeps wreaking intricate emotional situations for him and others, especially a married Persian woman who follows him to Vancouver. Bizarre events obscure Darren's efforts to heal the scars of the war and his failures in marriage and artistic career.Despite his intriguing romances, Darren grapples with the dilemma of committing to someone without getting emotion-ally hurt again, versus the prospect of ending up lonely and lunatic like his father. His lovers' competitions to monopolize him, along with plots by friends and foes for baffling reasons, further complicate his efforts to settle down.

Описание: Unfortunately, we refuse to grasp life's sad realities and grow a more practical mentality accordingly. Despite our recurring disappointments and sufferings, we do not realize the pressure we are putting on one another with our naive views about life, mostly about an elusive happiness. We do not feel or admit that only by helping one another less selfishly, we might bear life's hardships together a bit easier. No one can elude, or do any-thing about, life's severe limitations in our wicked society, but only grasp and accept them with grace. Hence, it seems too idiotic and pathetic when we blame others, e.g., our spouses, for our stress and life's limited capacity to offer happiness to anybody. We are too na ve and stubborn to admit even these basic principles of social coexistence, yet try to discover the elaborate mysteries of life, love, and happiness. That is why our social structure and values are all falling apart too.

Описание: We are frustrated and angry about the life we make for ourselves and the life others impose upon us, but we do not find the courage to think and behave differently. Youth, in particular, must make decisions about many life dilemmas and struggle with their torturous doubts. In addition, if they ever arrive at the intersection of wisdom paths, they must decide whether they wish to change their ways of thinking and living for transcendence to the real world. It would be by far the hardest decision that any individual faces in his/her life. That is, can s/he, and how, rid him/herself from the rituals and rewards of our societies? With compliance, one receives tangible rewards of wealth, love, status and social recognition, or at least a perception of achieving these goals. None of these alluring, materialistic incentives is available to him/her once s/he steps on a new path outside the path of conformity. It would be extremely difficult, if possible at all, for most of us to ignore the temptations of social extravagance, greed, ego, attachment, and power. On the other hand, a courageous decision at this intersection would free us from our crooked habits, social conundrums, and negative doubts, while we build a solid life philosophy according to our positive doubts. Our beliefs and boosted spirits turn these doubts into plausible questions about the validity and value of our existence in the perceived world. We still have to tackle many questions, but they would not be so stressful and overwhelming, but only challenging and natural. Deciding to look beyond the illusions of the perceived realities, we find our true convictions and life philosophy within the realm of the real world, we redeem our soul to be our guide, and let a higher wisdom help us in all the forthcoming crucial decisions, to minimize our conflicts and sufferings in our journey of life. What is the right way of living? We are hoping for a society where people set their priorities according to sacred criteria and thoughts, which are moral, 'self'-actualizing, and at the same time unselfish. That is, while everybody seeks inner satisfaction through utilization of his potentials, he also considers himself as part of the whole humanity, feels the global sufferings, and shows some compassion. He is in touch with the reality of the universe and in love with Nature, rather than driven by the conditioning forces of the perceived world to exploit Nature and others, satisfy his greed, lust, and ego. So, while philosophy is not an exercise in spirituality, it reinforces the need for some norms of morality and humanity for our actions, emotions, and thoughts. Philosophy tells us where our detachments and attachments should be in line with the characteristics of the real and perceived worlds. In the perceived world, we get attached to material things, appearances, and pretences. In the real world, we do exactly the opposite: We devote ourselves to the growth of 'self, ' and become more united and harmonious with Nature, 'self, ' and humanity. Maybe philosophy can even help us create a religion that merely satiates our spirituality need with no need for proving the existence of God and eternity.
Описание: Soon we should agree that humans' natural qualities do not match their common (idealistic) perception of themselves, and that this mental incongruity accounts for most of our personal and interpersonal problems. In addition, the characteristics of the environments we have gradually built around ourselves make it impossible for us to converge with either our natural or idealistic view of a human. Nevertheless, it seems as if we must face the same old clich , 'Who are we?' even more seriously now, in order to detect the origin of our personal and social problems. Our findings would then make us wonder with even more surprise, 'Why have we become this way?' Under the present circumstances, it is quite difficult for parents to advise their children about life. The competition in society to give children all the privileges they supposedly deserve and more is too stiff to allow any one parent teach the reality of life and its hardships to his/her children. Instead, they grow up to believe that life is a place to find happiness, which they also imagine comes from pleasures, sexuality, wealth, and arrogance. Parents are doomed if they support them to follow their shallow dreams, as they often turn out to be too fanciful and frustrating for them. And parents are doomed also if they try to push their children a bit toward a more practical and simpler lifestyles in hopes of curbing their rising expectations from life and relationships every year. We get blamed for not letting them follow their dreams and we get blamed for interfering in their lives and phony ideals. How can we tell our kids that all their dreams nowadays, including fame, love, trust, sincerity, and all the rest of all those good imaginations are only sure ways of losing more chunks of their independence, identity, and integrity? Of course, there is a lot of fun living in the 'perceived world' according to our fantasies, as if we have gone to movies to relax our busy minds for a short while. But the danger is that this 'perceived world' has overwhelmed our whole being and identity and thus obscured our senses and judgment. It is this submission to our phony identities and lifestyles that causes our chronic depression and stress, all due to the prevalent features of social living nowadays.
