Caregivers

There are people that are often older and often Iranian that move a fertile heart with their peace. Their wish is for others to flourish. They want the world to compete for greatness rather than cower into the mundane.

They understand the tumult of the past 30 years, they have resolved so much of their own self-hatred and in their age and wisdom they can only be honest with themselves about their weaknesses, they have stopped waging battles, they have little resentment or fear. It is like the score has been settled for them. They judge others by only one criterion- the amount of light one shines.

But their aims are not selfless. They seek joy; they have no concerns except the exaltation of life, and towards this aim, they seek energy sources that are earnest and dynamic. They have no limit for how much they give to those things.
