Before I came to Canada, I thought that I was born in the best place in the world with the best culture, history, tradition and custom. That was my first immature self-image. Right now, I feel I am nothing and belong to the whole world." I suffered during these thirty years, but I have revived the Iranians with the Persian language; I shall not die since I am alive again, as I have spread the seeds of this language." This poem is from Ferdowsi, one of the most influential poets in Iran with his masterpiece called Shahnameh. Whenever I read his epic book, I felt the Iranian blood was flowing strongly through my body and then was proud of being an Iranian. This feeling intensified when I visited Persepolis, ancient mounument in the southern part of Iran with 2500 years of history. I was baffled by the sheer beauty in Iranian landscape from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, from the west mountains to the east arid plains.When I came to Canada which is a multicultural country, I became familiar with different cultures including Greek, Italian, Russian, Mexican, Polish, Danish, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamease, Pakistani, Indians and so on. Briefly, I call Canada " a country consisted of the whole world." Reading about these cultures with amazing traditions, musics, litrature, history made me think about the first self-image. Atlantis city in Greece, intriguing site with more than 3000 years of history surprised me. Strong poems of Longfelow, beautiful photos of Grand Canyon National Park, the richness of Tchikofsky's Swan Lake music, the origin of Halloween and Christmas, Greek dance and cuisines all are examples of the beauty of other cultures.Right now, I think these whole precious cultures belong to me and I am not just an Iranian. I do not belong to special place or culture. I am also a Greek, an Italian, a Danish, a Chineses, an Indian, an Egyptian and so on. I am the whole world with colorful tradition, custome and history.To sum up, I am nothing and the universe is my family.
Thanks for reading my blog. Atlantis city in Greece ages 3000 years old and it is one of the amazing site to get to know. Unfortunately, I don't have any exact information about Acropolis.
congratulations
Amazing blog post.
I am pondering about the essence of this:
"I am the whole world with colorful tradition, custom and history.To sum up, I am nothing and the universe is my family."
Could you also tell me what that intriguing 3000 years old site in Greece is?
I heard that the Acropolis was not as ancient as Persepolis.
Its really wonderful to know more about your experiences.
Have a great time. :)
