Top 10 (PG)
1. The Da Vinci Code
2006
WHAT'S THE PLAN? More a cover-up than a conspiracy, it's all about protecting the secret that Jesus had a son and preventing his direct descendants from being exposed. This is done by killing anyone who gets wind of the millennia-old mystery. Annoyingly, symbolist Tom Hanks turns up with Nicholas Cage's hair and throws a giant spanner in the works.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Albino monk Silas (Paul Bettany) and a loopy fringe of Catholic enforcers, Opus Dei.
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: According to the Vatican The Da Vinci Code is "full of calumnies, offences, and historical and theological errors". A load of papal bull, basically. Still, despite angering Opus Dei, upsetting a few million Catholics and baffling everyone else, this Dan Brown adaptation made over a bazillion dollars at the box-office. Even if you think Brown's the high priest of hokum, that's hard to argue with.
2. Zoolander
2001
WHAT'S THE PLAN? To brainwash a professional male model into assassinating the Prime Minister of Malaysia to stop the latter from banning cheap child labour and adding millions to the cost of creating high fashion for the masses.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Ex-Frankie Goes To Hollywood keytar player and fashion mogul Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell).
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: As Maury Ballstein says, Mugatu is so hot he could take a crap, wrap it in tinfoil, put a couple fish hooks on it and sell it to Queen Elizabeth as earrings. Unfortunately his choice of assassin is hopeless. Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) has the mental capacity of a chopstick and is in the middle of some complicated life-changing epiphanies. The plan fails dismally. Still, everyone laughed a lot. Apart from the Malaysians.
3. Eagle Eye
2008
WHAT'S THE PLAN? To destroy the Capitol, kill the executive branch and prevent errors of judgment by making the reliable Defence Secretary the US President. The scheme requires the unwitting involvement of young slacker Jerry (Shia LaBeouf), identical twin of an Air Force officer and thus only man able to voice-activate a series of insane plot devices involving the FBI, cranes, rogue traffic lights and a trumpet. The shady assailant is either mad or has a wry sense of humour.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Pentagon supercomputer-gone-rogue Ariia. It's Mr Skynet Goes To Washington.
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: Even supercomputers have an off switch - just ask HAL.
4. Capricorn One
1978
WHAT'S THE PLAN? To fake the Mars landing by staging the entire mission in a desert hanger hastily spray-painted in Martian red. The crew (O.J. Simpson, James Brolin and Sam Waterston) are told their families will be killed if they don't act suitably spaceman-y for the cameras and float around the capsule on cue. It's the moon landing conspiracy meets the Watergate fall-out, with paranoia turned up to (Apollo) 11.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? The nasty Dr James Kelloway (Hal Holbrook) and his budget-protecting NASA cronies. Surprisingly, the film was made with NASA help. Expect less cuddly conspirators in John Moore's upcoming remake.
WHY IT COULD NEVER WORK: Two years of faking it is going to test even Meg Ryan - besides, isn't someone going to want to see some actual data of the mission? "It was very nice" is hardly going to wash when the White House comes asking for a mission debrief. But perhaps the greatest crime here is in failing to send O.J. to Mars when they had the chance.
5. The Parallax View
1974
WHAT'S THE PLAN? The daddy of '70s conspiracy thrillers - like The Manchurian Candidate slugged up on the Watergate Hotel minibar - Parallax's presence here doesn't malign a genuinely chilling movie and an ambitious scheme. The malevolent Parallax Corporation, specialists in terror and assassination, will stop at nothing less than total political control. They are smarter than you, they know more than you and they have people everywhere. Which makes them a bit like the Google then.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Everyone's in on it. Or are they? Yes, they are.
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: As a metaphor for right-wing government, it kinda does - more "No you can't" than "Yes we can". In reality, though, the Parallax Corporation is far too competent to survive in the world of power politics.
6. Coma
1978
WHAT'S THE PLAN? To flog the organs of coma-induced hospital patients to the highest bidder, deterring suspicious types with a handful of henchmen and outlandish '70s synth noises. It's campfire paranoia reinvented as a potentially lucrative business model.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Surgeon Dr Harris (Richard Widmark) and the mysterious Jefferson Institution.
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: With the fatality rate for general surgery roughly 0.2%, it's going to look a bit suspicious if suddenly everyone emerges from the same operating theatre brain-dead.
7. JFK
1991
WHAT'S THE PLAN? To stop Kennedy withdrawing the US from Vietnam and dismantling the CIA by assassinating him as he tours through Dallas. A patsy will take the rap, the Vice-President will oversee the cover-up and no-one will be any the wiser. Apart from Oliver Stone.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? The Russians, Fidel Castro, the Mafia, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, the CIA, the FBI, the RAC, Doctor Octopus, Steve Winwood and Old Man Wilson, the janitor from Scooby Doo.
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: Even Stone describes the film as 'counter myth', designed as an extreme alternative to the suspiciously hole-riddled Warren Commission report. Besides, no-one could assassinate a President in broad daylight and get away with it. Could they?
8. The Eagle Has Landed
1976
WHAT'S THE PLAN? With the Germans getting monstered in the war, Himmler decides to assassinate Winston Churchill while he's weekending in Norfolk. A crack team of paratroopers, disguised as Poles and led by Iron Cross-decorated Colonel Steiner (Michael Caine), will be dropped into East Anglia where they are to make contact with twinkly IRA man Donald Sutherland. Churchill is to be gunned down by Steiner while enjoying an after-dinner cigar. It's Went The Day Well with The Day Of The Jackal sticky-taped to the end.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? The blasted Nazis. You can't trust those guys.
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: Michael Caine is a Cockney pretending to be a German pretending to a Pole. Norfolk locals are too confused to suspect anything. So far, so good. Unfortunately, his men are too nice for the job and the game is up when one is unmasked saving a child from drowning. It's far-fetched, but there are parallels with real life: Hitler plotted to kill Churchill in 1943 using Nazi agents to intercept the big man in Tangier. Once again, poor intel and ropey accents let the Nazis down.
9. The Pelican Brief
1993
WHAT'S THE PLAN? It's a Grisham/Pakula conspiracy mash-up, so it's going to be pulse-frazzlingly thrilling. Right? Wrong! An oil tycoon, with friends in the White House, wants to drill on environmentally-protected land that's home to some rare wildlife. This isn't a conspiracy; it's Sarah Palin's election campaign.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Shady oilman Victor Mattiece (who we never meet).
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: When Mattiece arranges the killing of a couple of pelican-loving Supreme Court Justices, he forgets that when you're an Alan Pakula villain, it's never about just the one or two cheeky assassinations; you're going to have to kill everyone. Plus, if you want to take down a crusading Julia Roberts and a flock of indignant pelicans, you're going to need a more convincing hitman than Stanley Tucci.
10. You Only Live Twice
1967
WHAT'S THE PLAN? To trigger World War 3 by space-napping US and Russian shuttles using only Georges Méliès' rocket ship, a volcano, an unnecessary monorail, 600 goons in overalls, a RADA-trained Japanese man to say 'Opening crater!', and a cat. Who's behind this unbelievably complex scheme? SPECTRE, of course, and some mysterious Asians with far too much cash.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Supervillain and part-time geologist Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasance).
WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK: Blofeld's plan is riddled with flaws. For one thing, the best possible outcome is the destruction of the entire planet. On a more positive note, he did stand to make enough money to pay for the volcano conversion and space program and have just enough left for cat food.

Top 10 (PG)
1. Bullitt
Peter Yates, 1968
More than 40 years on, it still tops nearly every car chase poll. Why? Where plenty of road battles have trumped it for over-the-top stunts and spectacle, McQueen’s classic rollercoaster chase through the San Francisco streets endures on account of its style and realism. From Lalo Schifrin’s jazzy soundtrack setting the tone to the razor sharp editing and shotgun POVs, you’re almost in the passenger seat: every grunt of the Ford Mustang’s engine rattles your eardrum, every squeal of those Dodge Charger tyres feels like the car’s gonna break the fourth wall, and McQueen — still the coolest man behind the wheel, ever — is visibly battling to keep control of the car as it bounces and rattles over those treacherous summits.
2. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Jonathan Mostow, 2003
Sure, we hear you: the original film’s pursuits were more tense and terrifying, and T2’s truck-vs.-dirt bike hunt through the LA canals undeniably more iconic. Yet for spectacular mayhem the lesser third installment boasts a road war that smashes anything in its predecessors into crumpled tin. Orchestrated with taut skill by Jonathan Mostow — who proved his auto control with the excellent Breakdown — T3 has John Connor behind the wheel of a rickety van, pursued by the Terminatrix in a massive crane truck remote controlling a fleet of black-and-whites that surround him. Enter Arnie astride a cop cruiser: he then gets hooked on the crane and dragged brutally for blocks through storefront windows, only to commandeer a fire engine, leap on to the crane, and anchor its cable to the road for an almighty upending crash.
3. Duel
Steven Spielberg, 1971
It’s every lone interstate motorist’s worst nightmare: a scary, unidentified diesel truck bearing down on your modest sedan without rhyme or reason. Dennis Weaver’s marooned salesman finds himself in just such a nightmare when a menacing rig selects him for the target of its road rage; like a cat playing with a ball of string, the semi driver (who, all the more frightening, we never see) delights in taunting his helpless victim as he pursues him relentlessly across the American highway — never pausing, and unable to be reasoned with. Spielberg’s first feature illustrated the director in precocious mastery of the action form, and would provide the template for his vigorous truck dust-up in Raiders of the Lost Ark a decade later.
4. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
George Miller, 1981
Let this be a warning to anyone who thinks the Australian outback is a relaxing place for a country drive. Outdoing even his first Mad Max film, George Miller piles on the trucks, buggies, V8s, motorbikes, gyrocopters and assorted other mutant vehicles for the climactic sequence of The Road Warrior, as Mad Mel attempts to outrun an army of badass bandits in a petrol tanker thundering across the post-Apocalyptic highway. Between all the crushed bikes, overturned buggies, crossbows and exploding cars, it’s frankly amazing that no one was killed for real. That’s how dangerous this looks.
5. Vanishing Point
Richard C. Sarafian, 1971
The movie-as-car-chase, Vanishing Point is nothing but rubber burning on road for 100 minutes — and the ultimate car trip for some. With only his wits, sideburns, and a superfly blind radio DJ to guide him, ex-con Kowalski makes a foolhardy bet that he can deliver a 1970 Dodge Charger from Colorado to Cisco in just 15 hours; meaning there’s a whole lotta fuzz coming his way. As memorable for its fatalistic reverie for the open road as it is for its killer highway action, Sarafian’s movie was also the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s thumping homage in Death Proof.
6. Batman Begins
Christopher Nolan, 2005
Earlier Batmobiles were stylish silhouettes that serviced the set design but lacked the maneuverability to open up the road (assuming we ignore Joel Schumacher’s toys, which did things like rocket vertically up skyscrapers — and we will). Nolan’s tumbling tank was a very different Bat-beast, however, leading an epic police chase through the streets — and across the rooftops — of the city while inflicting more damage to Gotham than nipples on a Batsuit. And he’d go on to match it with The Dark Knight’s action centrepiece: an out-of-control semi-trailer facing off with the Bat-pod en route to the movie’s heartstopping moment of airborne steel.
7. The French Connection
William Friedkin, 1971
Think pursuing another car is tough? Try catching a fugitive who’s aboard a subway train. William Friedkin’s ’70s hit has Gene Hackman’s cop gunning his car after a New York metro in which his suspect has escaped, forcing him to drive at breakneck speed on a congested road underneath an overhead train track. Not only does Hackman have to contend with keeping up with a runaway train surging ahead metres above him, he has to dodge oncoming traffic at the same time — with precarious, thrilling consequences.
8. The Italian Job
Peter Collinson, 1969
For visual wit it’s hard to go past the original Italian Job, whose jaunty ten-minute car chase plays like a cheeky continental postcard. Lead by Michael Caine, the gang of gold thieves and their trio of Mini Coopers escape the hapless Italian police pursuit by spritely going where more powerful — but less nimble — cars can’t: down bank stairs, into a subway, sideways across a town square, over the sails of a huge building, through an aqueduct and finally through a tunnel to freedom. All while barely breaking a jolly old sweat.
9. Ronin
John Frankenheimer, 1998
Veteran John ‘Gran Prix’ Frankenheimer’s solid heist pic may be most fondly remembered for its two blistering Euro car chases, echoes of which can be seen in the likes of The Bourne Supremacy. The best of them sees Robert De Niro’s Peugeot struggling to keep pace with Natasha McElhone’s nimble BMW as they careen at high speed through Paris and under the Seine. Impressive stunt driving (Formula One racers stepped in where the actors’ skills ended) reaches its peak in a daring flight through a bumper-to-bumper underground tunnel — in the wrong direction. Jean Reno even puts on his seatbelt midway.
10. The Blues Brothers
John Landis. 1980
If not the best, then maybe the biggest — or at least the most destructive, if we’re scoring per cop car eviscerated. Jake and Elwood’s comedic crash course through the Dixie Mall and surrounds just keeps getting more and more absurd, the police wreckage accumulating faster than Belushi and Aykroyd’s zingers that punctuate the action.

سرطان (G)
مهمترین علل بروز سرطان در کشور و 43 درصد مرگ ناشی از سرطان، سیگار، تغذیه و عفونتها هستند. علت 80 درصد سرطان ریه در آقایان و 45 درصد در خانمها سیگار است. سیگار علت سرطانهای دهان، پانکراس، معده، مثانه، کبد و کلیه است. اضافه وزن و چاقی در ارتباط با ابتلا به سرطان کولون، پستان، رحم، مری و کلیه است. یک پنجم سرطانها در دنیا بهعلت ابتلا به
عفونتهای مزمن مخصوصا هپاتیت ب (سرطان کبد)، پاپیلوما ویروس (سرطان سرویکس)، فلوی کبدی (سرطان مجاری کبد) است

پیش از این نیز دکتر حسن امامی رضوی، معاون وزیر بهداشت نسبت به مصرف آبهای بستهبندی که در فروشگاههای عرضه موادغذایی و آشامیدنی در معرض حرارت و در زیر آفتاب داغ نگهداری میشود هشدار داده بود: اگر آب معدنیهای بسته بندی شده در معرض حرارت نباشد مصرف آنها تا یک سال هم مشکلی ندارد ولی اگر در وضعیتی نگهداری شوند که تحت تاثیر مستقیم حرارت باشند حتی قبل از 6 ماه هم غیرقابل استفاده میشوند و مردم توجه داشته باشند از این آب معدنیها استفاده نکنند

سرطان (G)
گزارش بیبیسی، محققان دانشگاه کیل به این نکته اشاره کردند که بیماران باید با دیدن این علائم نظیر وجود خون در ادرار و بروز کمخونی، هر چه سریعتر جهت انجام آزمایشها به پزشک مراجعه کنند. علائم دیگری که در ارتباط با بیماری سرطان باید مورد توجه قرار گیرند عبارتند از: خونریزی مقعدی، سرفههای خونی و خون بالا آوردن، وجود توده یا غده در سینه، دشواری در قورت دادن مواد غذایی، خونریزی پس از یائسگی، خونریزی و تستهای غیرعادی پروستات

مطالعات علمی و تحقیقات آزمایشگاهی نشان میدهد که نوع تغذیه و محتویات غذایی تأثیر بسزایی در بهوجود آمدن سرطان دارد از جمله
چربی و پرخوری
مصرف بیش از حد بعضی از خوردنیها همانند چربی، پروتئین و ویتامینها، مواد معدنی، مواد رنگدهنده و مواد بودهنده (خوشبوکنندهها) گیاهی
بعضی آلایندههای غذایی و مواد سمی
آلایندههایی که درهنگام پختن و تهیه غذا خواسته یا ناخواسته وارد مواد غذایی میشوند مانند فضولات و پسماند (باقیماندههای) کودی مثل نیترات و مواد موجود در محیطزیست، سرب، کادمیوم، بنز پیرن حاصل از موتورهای بنزینی و گازهای صنعتی یا کارخانهای، بعضی افزودنیهای غذایی (نمکهای نیتراتدار که نیتروزامین را میسازند)، باقیماندههای حاصل از سرخشدن (سوختن) غذا مثل بنزپیرن و سایر هیدروکربنهای سرطانزا
نمک زیاد (قوی) و همچنین مواد کنسروشده احتمال ایجاد سرطان دهان را افزایش و التهاب مخاط معده در غیاب (نبود) اسید معده، خطر سرطان معده را افزایش میدهد
ویتامین، مواد معدنی
اگر مخلوط ویتامینها، مواد معدنی و عناصر در بدن انسان متناسب با یکدیگر باشد، اثربخشی آنها بیشتر خواهد بود. هرسه نوع مواد برای فعالیت دستگاههای بدن لازم هستند و هرکدام وظایف خاص و مختص بهخود را بهعهده دارند و اگر مصرف آنها صحیح و متناسب با یکدیگر باشد، از رشد تومورها و سرطان در بدن جلوگیری میکند ولی در غیر این صورت خود این عدمتناسب میتواند منجر به بروز بیماری و سرطان شود
براساس بعضی مطالعات، مشخص شده که ویتامینها حاوی موادی هستند که بهشدت سولفوره میشوند و ایجاد تومور میکنند البته برای اثبات این مسئله تاکنون کارزیادی صورت نگرفته است. همچنین در بعضی از مطالعات دارو درمانی مشخص شده که ویتامینها حاوی موادی هستند که در بروز و پیدایش بعضی تومورها نقش بازی میکنند.مصرف بیش از حد میوهها و سبزیجات و بتاکاروتن که پیشویتامین A (ماده سازنده ویتامین A) است باعث بروزوابتلابه سرطانهای ریه، پروستات و مثانه و همچنین باعث ایجاد سرطان حلق، دهان و مری و تشدید بروز سرطان معده میشود
آلایندههای موجود در غذا
غذاهای کپکزده میتوانند حاوی مواد سرطانزا مثل آفلاتوکسین باشند که این نوع ماده حتی در میوههای مغزدار مثل فندق، پسته و گردو و حتی غلات هم ممکن است وجود داشته باشد.از خوردن میوه پلاسیده و گندیده اجتناب کنید که میتواند سرطانزا باشد. بهعنوان مثال، سیبی را که در آن لکهای قهوهای رنگ مشاهده میکنید، نخورید زیرا این لکههای قهوهایرنگ نشاندهنده مادهای به نام پاتولین است که خود سرطانزاست

خبرگزاری آلمان از واشنگتن گزارش داد، خوب به این سوال فکر کنید و بعد سری به پایگاه اینترنتی بزنید تا نوشتن را آغاز کنید
http://www.futureme.org/
این پایگاه اینترنتی بدیع، پیام شما را به خودتان یا هر شخص دیگری در زمانی در آینده که شما مشخص کرده باشید، ارسال میکند. لبته قبل از آنکه زمان را تعیین کنید، مطمئن باشید که نشانی ایمیل تا آن زمان فعال خواهد ماند

Email (G)
به گفته موسسه پينگدام تا ماه ژوئن 2010 حدود 1.97 میلیارد کاربر اینترنت در جهان وجود داشتند
همچنین در سال 2010 همه روزه به طور میانگین از 2.9 میلیارد حساب ایمیل کاربران، 294 میلیارد ایمیل ارسال شده که نزدیک به 89 درصد آن هرزنامه (اسپم) بودهاست

تخم مرغ (G)
البته باز هم گزارشهایی در باره تولید تخممرغ با موادشیمیایی در رسانهها منتشر شده که ادعا میکند اساسا تخممرغها به وسیله مواد شیمیایی تولید شده و محصول نهایی کاملا شبیه تخممرغ واقعی بهنظر میرسند و هنگام پخت و پز نیز ظاهر زیباتری دارند. برای درستکردن پوسته تخممرغهای مذکور از کربنات کلسیم و برای زرده و سفیده نیز از موادشیمیایی مانند سدیم ژلاتین، کلسیم کلراید، زاجسفید، سلولز، اسید آمینه، آلژینات سدیم، اسید بنزوئیک و مواد رنگی استفاده شده است
یک سایت اینترنتی چینی روش تشخیص تخممرغهای مصنوعی را این چنین توضیح داده است
تخممرغهای تقلبی بسیار شبیه تخممرغهای واقعی است اما پوست آن کاملا مصنوعی بهنظر میرسد
اگر تخممرغ تقلبی را تکان بدهید لرزش بیشتری احساس خواهید کرد این بهدلیل وجود مقدار بیشتر آب درون آن است
تخممرغ واقعی اندکی بوی گوشت طبیعی میدهد
هنگام پختن، تخممرغ تقلبی سر و صدای شبیه تخممرغ واقعی را نمیدهد
به محض شکستهشدن تخممرغ تقلبی، سفیده و زرده آن طی زمان کوتاهی با هم مخلوط میشود
هنگام پختن با روغن، به سرعت تمام تخممرغ تقلبی زرد خواهد شد بدون اینکه آن را مخلوط کرده باشید
مصرف این نوع تخممرغها میتواند عوارض خطرناکی برای مغز، سلولهای عصبی و توانایی تولید خون در انسان داشته باشد و موجب اختلالات متابولیک در انسان شود

شعر (G)
می روم در ایوان، تا بپرسم از خود
زندگی یعنی چه؟
مادرم سینی چایی در دست
گل لبخندی چید، هدیه اش داد به من
خواهرم تکه نانی آورد ، آمد آنجا
لب پاشویه نشست
پدرم دفتر شعری آورد، تکيه بر پشتی داد
شعر زیبایی خواند، و مرا برد، به آرامش زیبای یقین
با خودم می گفتم
زندگی، راز بزرگی است که در ما جاریست
زندگی فاصله آمدن و رفتن ماست
رود دنیا جاریست
زندگی، آبتنی کردن در این رود است
وقت رفتن به همان عریانی؛ که به هنگام ورود آمده ایم
دست ما در کف این رود به دنبال چه می گردد؟
هیچ
زندگی، وزن نگاهی است که در خاطره ها می ماند
شاید این حسرت بیهوده که بر دل داری
شعله گرمی امید تو را، خواهد کشت
زندگی درک همین اکنون است
زندگی شوق رسیدن به همان فردایی است، که نخواهد آمد
تو نه در دیروزی، و نه در فردایی
ظرف امروز، پر از بودن توست
شاید این خنده که امروز، دریغش کردی
آخرین فرصت همراهی با، امید است
زندگی یاد غریبی است که در سینه خاک به جا می ماند
زندگی، سبزترین آیه، در اندیشه برگ
زندگی، خاطر دریایی یک قطره، در آرامش رود
زندگی، حس شکوفایی یک مزرعه، در باور بذر
زندگی، باور دریاست در اندیشه ماهی، در تنگ
زندگی، ترجمه روشن خاک است، در آیینه عشق
زندگی، فهم نفهمیدن هاست
زندگی، پنجره ای باز، به دنیای وجود
تا که این پنجره باز است، جهانی با ماست
آسمان، نور، خدا، عشق، سعادت با ماست
فرصت بازی این پنجره را دریابیم
در نبندیم به نور، در نبندیم به آرامش پر مهر نسیم
پرده از ساحت دل برگیریم
رو به این پنجره، با شوق، سلامی بکنیم
زندگی، رسم پذیرایی از تقدیر است
وزن خوشبختی من، وزن رضایتمندی ست
زندگی، شاید شعر پدرم بود که خواند
چای مادر، که مرا گرم نمود
نان خواهر، که به ماهی ها داد
زندگی شاید آن لبخندی ست، که دریغش کردیم
زندگی زمزمه پاک حیات ست ، میان دو سکوت
زندگی ، خاطره آمدن و رفتن ماست
لحظه آمدن و رفتن ما ، تنهایی ست
من دلم می خواهد
قدر این خاطره را دریابیم

كلمات قصار (G)
فردا به آن چشم نگاهش مکن
شاید سحر توبه کرده باشد و تو ندانی
...
خواجه عبدالله انصاری
بدانکه نماز زیاده خواندن کار پیرزنان است
و روزه فزون داشتن صرفه نان است
و حج نمودن تماشای جهان است
اما نان دادن کار مردان است
