RUNNING

Besmehi Taala
Dear Baharnarenj salamalykom va rahmatollah
You are not alone in the race track! I always enjoyed watching football but could never play well myself. I remember as a teenager I was chosen to play football in my highschool team just because they could not find enough people to play the game. They asked me where do you like to play and I said I like to play as forward. few minutes later I got the ball and started running and dribbling with my head down. I was a fast runner and ran and ran. I could hear those watching the game shouting loudly! I could not understand what they were saying and kept running with my head down. Soon I found out I am running without the ball. The goal keeper stole the ball infront of me and I was still running! We may run up and down Alvand again and again with our heads down without knowing where we are, or without stopping and watching the scenery and enjoy it. We don't even ask ourselves why we are running, who has asked us to run, or what we are running after? Are we running because we have decided ourselves or someone else like our parents want us to run? There are times that others want us to run for them!
