“220th Story”
Amir Ali was a Muslim student at the university and fell in love with a Christian girl name Susan.
Susan was studying literature and AmirAli accounting.
Susan was from the same city but AmirAli came from north part of the country. They loved each other but they both knew their families would never accept their marriage because of their religions.
Susan wished to open a bookstore one day. AmirAli said: “If you ever opened a bookstore in the future, name it “Silver Rain”, this way you will always remember me.
Susan laughed and nodded.
AmirAli and Susan talked to their families several times about their love but the answer was a definite “NO”.
After they graduated they said their goodbyes and Amir Ali went back to his town.
Thirty years passed and one day Amir Ali’s wife planned a vacation trip to the same city where he went to university. Amir Ali never shared Susan’s story with his wife and son, and that vacation plan brought all those memories back to him. He was very nervous.
They saw all the attractions and shopping places, but one store shocked Amir Ali, a bookstore named “Silver Rain”.
Amir Ali walked into the bookstore while his heart was jumping out of his chest. His wife and son went to the drama section to look for some books and AmirAli was wandering around with his eyes.
He saw a young girl just like Susan, he knew she should be Susan’s daughter. When he was about to walk toward her to ask about Susan, he saw a frame on the wall with Susan’s picture including some beautiful wrinkles and a black ribbon.

Thank you for sharing!!.. whether the subject matter is religion, politics, etc. it is sad that there are those whose mind is so closed that they can create hardships and suffering for others… as Jimmy Buffet said “there is none so blind as he who will not see”… 🙂
Before my wife’s passing the Chaplin said “it’s what is in the heart that matters, not a name above a door”… 🙂
Hope all is well in your part of the universe and until we meet again…
May your troubles be less
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door

Hi Laleh Chini,
I am imagining the two conditions that are beyond human ability, namely:
1) We cannot choose to be born in a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or wealthy family. It’s God’s will.
2) Love is universal, it can come at any time without being ordered by anyone. It’s God’s will.
How could religion interfere with God’s will? It would be interesting to know your opinion.

Hi dear friend,
To me being obsessed with any religion will cause harm, like what’s happening back in my country Iran. We should be free to choose our ways. I personally love God but I’m not religious at all.
Thanks for your interesting question.🌷

A story of true of love, Laleh, which is not desirous and possessing, but enriching and giving. Enrichment happens in the act of true giving. The problem with Semitic religions is their orthodoxy and dogmatism. They sermonise about love, peace and compassion but do not allow these values to come into consummation between individuals. What a paradox and shameful hypocrisy. Religion that is binding and restrictive must be rejected outright.
