Dear Madam / Sir

I am an Iranian pharmacist and write you this email from Paris. I came here more than six years ago in search of a safe place to divulge a national crisis in pharmaceutical industries of Iran but unfortunately have not found any yet. Last year I sent from Holland a registered letter in English and Persian for Her Majesty The Queen (>500g) and two other letters from Paris: I received no reply.

I sent my first email for the PM of England on June 18, 2009 and many others then to other English politicians but it seems words are dead: like the God of Nietzsche. Usually who open this kind of emails are not aware of their potential importance but from a Cultural Center something else is expected. I hope you kindly inform THOSE IN CHARGE OF THESE KIND OF MATTERS.

The world is a dangerous place to live;

 not because of the people who are evil,

but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Albert Einstein

 Mill believes:  

A person may cause evil to others
not only by his actions
but by his INACTION,
and in either case he is justly
accountable to them for INJURY.

(J.S. Mill, On Liberty, page 70)

 I bring this note to its end by what I read this morning in an homeless office in Paris:

...like a gypsy,

 I live on the boundry of an alien world;

 a word that is deaf to my WORDS and

 as indifferent to my Hopes as it is to my SUFFERINGS.

[quoted with tiny modifications from: John Gray, Straw Dogs, 2003, page 30.]

The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need

and the unreasonable silence of the world.

Albert Camus,

Myth of Sisyphus

　

Practical rather than theoretical humanism:

the only human humanism worth the name is Human Action.

Human Action for the benefit of humanity; humanity as morality.

Andre Comte-Sponville,

The little Book of philosophy
