A dinner in Justin's home

Justin had invited me to his house a week ago. I went to his home tonight. He had also invited several other Persian guests. His wife had cooked many foods. I felt embarrassed. I never can invite them to my house and prepare anything similar to what she had done.

We had a good time talking to each other. At the end, we watched several episodes of a Persian comedy show called: "shookhi kardam." It supposed to be funny, but it was very painful as the producers made real facts into jokes. I laughed, but deep inside I cried. In one of the episodes, the was a conversation between a son and his dad in the future.


(I just translate a few sentences)
a son asks his father: "What my mom has been doing there (pointing to a picture)? Has she been yawning?"
Father: "No, she has been laughing."
Son: "What is a laughter?"
Father: "When people are happy, they laugh."
Son: What is the happiness?

He had no answer. It is like a joke, but it is very true. People of my country are forgetting happiness little by little. They even don't know what laughter is.
