We went to Iftar last night. I met a university professor, and his American wife, and their American girls there. He was a well-known person in the Iranian community. He talked about Rumi and about fasting in Ramadan. He had selected some poems from Masnavi related to the fasting, and talked about it. He said, "According to a research, more than 80% of Muslim people in the world are fasting in Ramadan. (Excluding Iran, South Arabia and Afghanistan"
He talked about these things, but I was thinking about his family. "His wife is very beautiful. They have a very adorable daughter. They seem to live a very happy life. But it seems that his wife can't understand even a single word of his speech. It seems that she lived in a different world. What about their daughter? She is young and beautiful, but does she understand anything about these subjects? Is it a kind of family that I am looking for? Maybe I couldn't find a girl as beautiful as her wife, or I couldn't have an adorable daughter like theirs, but if I had, is it what I want?" I thought to myself, but I had no answers.
I said goodbye to her once I was going to leave there. "Happy Ramadan" she said. "Happy Ramadan" I said, but I had lots of questions in my mind.
