The world is two days

The world is two days Author:Gouya Roshan  When life overwhelms us, something within us gradually fades. We are together, yet we see each other less. Perhaps that is why fear has replaced security, and silence has become safer than noise. Of course, the world is full of people, but it is not synonymous with peace. The fear does not come from being alone, but from being together. The world is full of fear. Fear of judgment, slander, betrayal, rumor. People have become so tired and cautious that sometimes one seeks a sense of security not among the living, but among the dead. Because the dead do not cause suffering, do not envy, do not slander, do not betray, do not judge. And most importantly, they do not spread rumors. This is neither a funeral lament nor a slogan, but a cry of human fatigue in the face of human injustice. And this is collective fatigue, not individual. Many are tired, but they have learned to continue silently. No shouting, no protest; just ordinary exhaustion. Be...

I Am Tired of This Inner Grief

  I Am Tired of This Inner Grief Author: Gouya Roshan Grief is an inseparable part of the human experience. No life is entirely free from sorrow, loss, or disappointment. Yet in today’s world, grief is often ignored or hidden behind a mask of smiles and silence. Many people choose to conceal their grief—not because they do not feel it, but because of social pressures and unspoken expectations. This is where exhaustion begins, an exhaustion deeper than grief itself. Hiding grief requires constant self-control. A person is forced to regulate their true emotions, measure their reactions, and remain vigilant so that no sign of weakness is revealed. Over time, this state drains mental energy. Unexpressed grief manifests as inner tension, apathy, anxiety, or loneliness. In such conditions, a person may appear fine on the surface while feeling a profound emptiness inside. This concealment largely stems from society’s concept of “strength.” Strength is often defined as silence, endurance, ...

“I have seen no humiliation greater than my heart

Image
“I have seen no humiliation greater than my heart being occupied with someone whose heart is not with me”.                                                Author: Gouya Roshan  The sentence  “I have seen no humiliation greater than my heart being occupied with someone whose heart is not with me”  describes, in simple language, one of humanity’s deepest emotional experiences. The speaker refers to a form of love that leads neither to unity nor to mutual understanding, but rather to an unequal and debilitating condition. This state of uncertainty is the source of the suffering that permeates the entire sentence. This love is not necessarily limited to romantic relationships between a man and a woman; it may also exist between a parent and child, or between siblings. Thus, the choice of the word  “humiliation”  is key to understanding the poet’s pe...

The Heart Is a Human Right; Break It with Care

Image
The Heart Is a Human Right; Break It with Care . Author:  Gouya Roshan  A short sentence, yet one filled with deep meaning—capable of summarizing an essential human principle on its own. In a world where relationships form quickly and end just as fast, few people pause to consider the moral responsibility involved in engaging with the emotions of others. This article is an attempt to remind us of that forgotten responsibility. Although the heart is an invisible trust, a human heart is not something that can be given lightly to just anyone. When someone trusts us, speaks from their heart, or feels happy in our presence, they are, in fact, placing a part of their psychological security in our hands. This is a trust—one whose breaking, even if unseen, leaves deep and lasting effects. It must also be understood that human rights take precedence over formal laws. In our moral and spiritual culture, the rights of people hold a more serious place than many official regulations. A bro...

Being people is not important;being human is important Author: Gouya Roshan

Image
Being people is not important; being human is important In a world where population and numbers have become the measure of value, we often forget that more than anything else, people need real relationships, not crowds. Although in today’s world people are more connected to each other than ever before. Social media, social gatherings, and friendly get-togethers mean fewer people are truly alone, yet a strange problem exists: the feeling of loneliness has not decreased. Perhaps the reason is that crowds do not necessarily mean intimacy and security. Sometimes, in a large crowd, a person can be lonelier than ever. Over the years, we have learned to confuse quantity with value: we think the more people we have around us, the richer our lives will be. But in my personal experience, the quality of relationships is far more important than their number. A few healthy and genuine relationships can give a person a sense of peace that no crowd can provide. Of course, we must understand what it m...

Do Some People Take Pleasure in the Suffering of Others?

  Do Some People Take Pleasure in the Suffering of Others? Author:  Gouya Roshan I do not believe that someone who takes pleasure in the pain of others is necessarily “cruel.” However, the hearts of such individuals often carry one common trait: unresolved suffering. Those who have been repeatedly humiliated or ignored sometimes find a temporary sense of power or calm in watching others fail. This is not always driven by malice, but rather by a constant comparison with others and by measuring their self-worth against past humiliations. In this process, the mistakes of others become a source of psychological nourishment for them. These individuals are not entirely heartless, but they often lack deep empathy; as if their capacity for empathy has not fully developed. Behind this behavior lies a hidden fear. The faces of those who take pleasure in others’ suffering often scream an unspoken message: “At least I am not the worst one.” More important than these personality traits, ho...

Trust; a word everyone speaks, but few live by

Image
  Trust; a word everyone speaks, but few live by Author: Gouya Roshan  Distrust among individuals is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon rooted in personal experiences, social structures, and historical transformations. Human beings, as social creatures, are inevitably engaged in interaction with others; yet these interactions are often accompanied by disappointments, betrayals, misunderstandings, or inequalities, sowing seeds of doubt in both mind and heart. When trust, the very foundation of human relationships, is damaged, bonds weaken and an invisible yet profound distance forms between people. In a world where the pace of change, competition, and social pressures continue to intensify, distrust is no longer merely an individual feeling but has become a collective problem. This condition threatens not only personal relationships, but also social cohesion, cooperation, and even the broader meaning of human life itself. To address the concept of distrust is, in essence...
