According to Navideshahed, someday when we were walking towards the public mosque, I observed that someone was painting something on the wall of the mosque. When I went closer, I saw that he was Behrooz Moradi. I was so surprised and I asked him what he was doing there? He said: “I’m painting, is my painting beautiful or not?”?

He had plotted some palms in the way and some of the palms were burning. The fire of some of the palms had been off and only a smoke was rising. It was interesting that the palms which existed so far away; all of them were without tips and or they had been burnt; while the palms which existed in the backside were mostly fine; in fact the painting was really beautiful.

I asked: “What is the philosophy of this painting?”? he said: “What do you think?”? I said: “I don’t remember anything.”? He said: “Do you know for what purpose and imagination I did draw this painting?”?, I said: “What was your purpose?”?, he said: “A few nights ago you expressed a poem in your eulogy which a part of that can be related to this painting and it was: The one who bears thousands of liberal men and thousands of prisoners of war.”?

He said: “I drew this painting based on that poem. It means some humans must sacrifice themselves in order the other be able to live peacefully. These palms that don’t have any branches and tips are those persons who have sacrificed their lives for the purpose of allowing the others to survivor and live peacefully.”?

The End
