I'm Araz Gholami. I build software, design things, read, write, and translate. I travel and discover. Right now, I'm living in Tabriz.

Nanga Parbat Atack

I came to know that the base camp of Daiamir in Nanga Parbat in Pakistan was attacked and unfortunately 10 to 11 of them were killed. Mehdi Gholipour, a climber from Tabriz, was also present and thankfully he was not hurt. After this tragedy, the Pakistani army announced that they are in control of the situation.

Terrorism is foolish but in a climbing camp? What was the target? What do you want to do? What will you prove?

Update on July 21, 2017
Today in the great speech of Azim Qeychisaz in Creative Mornings in Tabriz, I came to know that one of the victims was a close friend of the speaker. I also saw his film. I can only say I am sorry.

Nowruz 2013

A few days ago marked the seventh anniversary of the opening of my blog. Seven years have passed since I first felt the need to have a place to share my thoughts and experiences. Over the years, this blog has become a collection of my journey through life, and I’m proud of all that it represents.

I have no intention of stopping my blogging journey, and I plan to continue writing more and more. I hope that the new year brings joy and success to everyone. I would like to extend my warm wishes for a Happy New Year. and Nowruz.

Keep your problems for yourself

It’s a common misconception that some people don’t face any problems. In fact, everyone has their own set of problems, and often more than they let on. The reality is, no one wants to listen to your problems. Instead of complaining about them, it’s better to focus on finding solutions.

Taking even a small step towards solving your problems can bring relief to your mind and those around you. Moreover, by keeping your weaknesses hidden, you preserve your personal information.

Update:
This is an old post from 2013, I’m not thinking like this now. Get support and help if you need it. You don’t have anyone to listen to you? contact me. It’ll be my honor to listen to your life story.

You are defined by the actions you take

Life is never defined by what you know about yourself. You are defined by the actions you take. Perhaps even by yourself. It’s a harsh reality, but it’s an inevitable one.

The difference between having unfulfilled dreams and not knowing what your dreams are is stark. When you have unfulfilled dreams, you at least have a direction in life, and a goal to work towards. But when you don’t know what your dreams are, you’re just aimlessly wandering through life without any purpose or drive.

It’s important to take the time to reflect and discover what it is that truly drives and inspires you. What are your passions and aspirations? What do you want to achieve in life? Once you know these things, you can start taking the necessary steps to make your dreams a reality.

Don’t let life pass you by without having a sense of purpose. Take the time to figure out what drives you and go after it with everything you’ve got. The satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from pursuing your dreams are priceless.

 

Howevers

The mind often doesn’t allow you to logically understand who is right and who is wrong. For example, in a discussion, if you have a particular mindset, in the end, no matter how many arguments you make, you will still return to your mindset and your desired outcome. A good way to avoid this is to keep track of the number of failures in the discussion. For example, if you use the word “however” more than 5-4 times in a discussion, it’s likely that your argument is not correct and you are just thinking you are right because of your mindset.

Beetle-oriented masculinity

One of my friends tweeted: “My logical part says that boys also have the right to be scared of beetle, but another part of my mind doesn’t accept this.”
Being a man is not a requirement, a privilege or something unusual, it’s like being forced to.
Imagine you are on a highway and you see that there was an accident, both drivers are injured and dying. When you get off and see that there are many people there, the likelihood that you will go and help them is close to zero. There is a psychological reason that a doctor has written about in his blog.
But if you are alone at that moment, you will try your best to save them, despite the fact that you have a psychological problem.
In my opinion,
Life is the same, when you know who is going to kill the beetle, you can easily be scared of it.
But when you see someone else who is afraid of the beetle and you are the only one who can overcome that fear, you can’t even think about fear or anything else.
The beetle example was just a starting point, it applies to everything in general.

Paradox of being different

It is strange to try to be different and understand that all these efforts are just to be ordinary. Like people who create differences and try to eliminate them. I am confused about those who try to be different. After a while, you realize that all the trouble and effort put into being different is just for the sake of being ordinary. You eventually come back to square one.

This paradox highlights the irony of trying to stand out in a world where everyone is striving for the same thing – to be average. It seems that in our pursuit of uniqueness, we often end up with the same result as everyone else. This phenomenon can be disheartening, but it’s important to remember that true uniqueness lies in our individuality, and not in the things we do or the way we look. Embracing who we are and what makes us special is the key to finding true fulfillment and happiness.

I’m going to dead inside

Generally, my life is based on the idea that everything I get and every event that occurs is purely accidental. I always strive for the results of my actions to be directly the result of my will and desire. The only situation where I can fulfill this desire is if there is no logical way for me to avoid that desire. And this is exactly the reason why I’m dead inside now.

Darkest Yalda

This year has been a difficult one for many people, but for me, it’s been particularly trying. The loss of my beloved grandfather has hit me hard, and his passing has left a significant void in my life. The pain of his absence is compounded by the fact that I was too sick to attend his funeral. This was a critical moment in my grieving process and not being able to say goodbye in person has made the loss even harder to bear. The weight of these events has left me feeling completely overwhelmed, and I’ve struggled to come to terms with the darkness that has descended upon me this year. Despite the challenges I’ve faced, I’m trying to find ways to honor my grandfather’s memory and hold onto the happy memories we shared together.
