The Letter that was Instantly Read.

[mind the spelling and grammar it was written as fast as the storm was]

Physiognomy

Physiognomy (Gk. physis, nature and gnomon, judge, interpreter) is a theory based upon the idea that the assessment of the person's outer appearance, primarily the face, may give insights into one's character or personality. The term physiognomy can also refer to the general appearance of a person, object or terrain, without reference to its implied or scientific characteristics.

[i attended the mogul painting lecture in Dar Al-Athar and it was so wonderful -i must say it is one of the greatest from this season-, the lecturer was Goswami's student who is one of the great readers of Indian Paintings whom i attended a really interesting workshop with him and some of the cultural center friends. in the formerly mentioned lecture, she showed us a couple of portraits in which she referred to this field of knowledge to describe. i never heard of it and i was interested! this is its definition i'm very willing to know more about it]

Once Upon a School

Dave Eggers' wish:

"I wish that you - you personally and every creative individual and organization you know - will find a way to directly engage with a public school in your area and that you'll then tell the story of how you got involved, so that within a year we have 1,000 examples of innovative public - private partnerships."

PARTICIPATE IN HIS WISH

Life Repeated,

it is another feeling we no longer sense, or are you still? it is a phenomena which can lead to a mental belief, that, the story of one's life can be repeated in another, either inherited father to son or just happened to be the same in a completely different context.

and i think it somehow coincides with an Arabic saying about the similarity of the physical features between some people: "40 born in the same look". or in another level with the theory of universals in the platonic realism.



acting... the tendency to simulate others.




then what is difference? is it only a time-related feature?
