Excerpts from Akhlaq-e Saghir مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

The tendency to suspend the division of labor, which his economic position allows him to do to some extent, is considered a shameful act: this act reveals an unwillingness to support the actions that society has imposed, and the prevailing technocracy does not allow such antics. In this way, it is as if the class from whose ranks independent and prosperous intellectuals have fled takes its revenge by insisting on its demands, and precisely in the very domain where the fugitive is seeking refuge. The entire dark foundation from which the institution of marriage arises—the husband's brutal power over the wife's property and labor, and the sexual repression no less brutal that impels a man to accept a lifetime of responsibility for a woman with whom intimacy was once pleasurable for him—all of these, when the house collapses, crawl up from the basements and foundations; those who once experienced a universal good through total devotion to one another, society now forces them to consider themselves vile, a vileness that is no different from the unbridled external decadence of the general order. Despite this, there is something disgusting about lying, and the awareness of it, even if it is etched into the mind with an ancient whip, still reveals the faces of the jailers. 2 This shame reveals the lying of individuals who have a more orderly and refined nature. Lying, which was once a liberal tool of communication, has today turned into one of the techniques of impudence that enables each individual to extend a frozen space around themselves in order to grow and develop under its protection.
