Among so many good things I've ever dreamed of, I dared to follow few.
I lost all those things I could have, but I never persued.
It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or time or
fortune, but just yourself that kept things from you.

nice post.
they say that the hardest thing to loose is one's "hope". That may be the reason that we mourn over things that we never had but we were hoping to have. The good example of that are women who have miscarriage. The become depressed after they loose the baby, because with that they loose the hope of being a mother and many other plans they've had for their babies.
I remeber this from one of christian Bobin's books: We never own something so we can never lose anything( therefore no need for regrets, sorry I don't remeber the exact quote.)
نه برزیگرم، نه دروگر. نه کاشتم نه می کارم اکنون. مرا پیکری نبود، مرا پیکری نیست. چگونه حس "تعلق" توانم داشت یا نداشت
داتا تریا(سرود رستگاری،کهن ترین متن وحدت وجود، ترجمه قاسم هاشمی نژاد)
It may sound irrelevant, but have you guys heard this?
the video: in praise of hope?
:)))
I think the radio was about hope too!
I think we only get the feeling of having or losing something when we find hope or lose it. So for me, the main substance of our happiness is hope. What do you think Siamak?
Although, I think Pezhman and Baran are each talking about something else.
Baran: what is this "soroode rastegaari"? I like it!
Leili:"The Avadhuta Gita is a text of Vedanta representing extreme Advaita or Nondualism. It is ascribed to Dattatreya, who is looked upon as an Incarnation of God. Unfortunately we possess no historical data concerning when or where he was born, how long he lived, or how he arrived at the knowledge disclosed in the text.
Avadhuta means a liberated soul, one who has "passed away from" or "shaken off" all worldly attachments and cares and has attained a spiritual state equivalent to the existence of God. Though avadhuta naturally implies renunciation, it includes an additional and yet higher state which is neither attachment nor detachment but beyond both. An avadhuta feels no need of observing any rules, either secular or religious. He seeks nothing, avoids nothing. He has neither knowledge nor ignorance. Having realized that he is the infinite Self, he lives in that vivid realization."
They say this text belongs to 2000-3000years ago.
