- THE
WRITER'S MESSAGE
- In
this day and age that we live, despite the color of our skin, our
religion, our origin and our varied opinions, we, human beings must
hold hands together, without prejudice, to avoid pessimism and
discord. The secret to our survival is being together
and
taking advantage of each other's experiences so that we can achieve
the desired results. We must
not interfere with each other's religion, nationality and opinions. We must let everyone express his or her opinion freely.
We must be able to hear the opinions of others that are different from
ours and to listen to others carefully. By doing that, we will obtain
a solution. In the writer's opinion, the basis for the world's
politics lies in its economy and perhaps, in the near future or
not-so-near future, by means of economic interests, various countries
will become closer to each other. Currently, we witness the
cooperation of America and Russia in space activities. Of course, it
depends on the maturity of each side which will be possible by the
expansion of knowledge. I hope that there will come a day when
humanity is entitled to reverence and respect by all and that we will
all live together side by side in peace without fear, and will enjoy
inventing and discovering new things to succeed in the world. Perhaps
you would like to know how do French, German, Japanese or women from
other countries think and what their opinions are about life and
communication and how they apply their wisdom. Other nations,
naturally, would also like to know how Iranian women think and
communicate with the rest of the world. This book introduces the
thoughts and the wisdom of one of the millions of Iranian women, who
never stopped learning and used her wisdom and knowledge towards a
better future for her and her family. But, unfortunately, since she
has no means of letting herself be known to the world, she stays
unknown. But she will go on trying and will plan for a constructive
future. Dear Reader, in this book I tried to tell my story the best
way I know how, in a very simple language. I also used my paintings,
fashion designs and poems, for the first time, in drawings on clothes,
flowers and leaves to give more meaning to them and to also enlighten
your spirits. With my book I've tried to reach you spiritually so that
you can get to know me better through my work and experiences.

- As
a result of her talent and her efforts, Mrs. Parnia Razi has created
an artistic and admirable piece of work, and I, as an insignificant
individual, enjoyed immensely reading every bit of it. From the bottom
of my heart, I truly wish this precious artist much success.

- FOREWORD:
- The
revolution and the chaos of 1979 in Iran, apart from its political and
regional aspects, changed many spiritual and social values of us
Iranians which created an opportunity for many hidden talents to
surface. One aspect of this was that Iranian women immediately showed
their ability to respond to pressure and the surprising durability of
their nature, in the best possible way, which until then either had
not had the opportunity to be shown or had no reason to be shown. They
proved that, just like men, they are capable of resisting the
opposition, intolerance and dangerous discrimination which result from
stupidity. They showed that they are not afraid of a whip, prison or
torture. They also showed that in order to protect their children
against the strong wind that has suddenly blown they are ready and
capable of sacrificing themselves at any price to achieve their goal.
This book is written by a woman, an Iranian woman. What you read here
is a series of events that happened to this one out of millions of
Iranian women. She tells us that an Iranian woman is made of steel but
yet is as delicate as silk. "Parnia" is only one of the Iranian women
who have blossomed since the revolution of 1979. We are proud that
Iranian women walk side by side with their Iranian men.

- FOREWORD:
- At
a time when tribes, races, religions and minorities in the world are
so heavily oppressed and the rights of women in the reformed countries
are ignored, in a culture, such as ours, where positive thinking and
believing in truth don't mean anything because it always dictates
martyrdom, sorrow and sadness, for me who lived most of his life in
Europe and The United States of America and has been involved in
research in the rich literature of our country and other countries as
well, I found in a very simple and fine language what I was looking
for in this book. I hope this book will be useful to those who have
been tortured and treated harshly, as this book is the result of the
awakening and development of a human being, spiritually and mentally,
who has been imprisoned. I also hope that this book will guide those
who are not happy and are not satisfied with life in general and
unable to solve their problems, so they blame them on their world and
on destiny. At the same time, they want to tell everyone what to do.
Perhaps this book will be the beginning of positive thinking,
clear-sightedness and willingness to learn, as well as a better
future.
