'amal khayal ast'
'the world is an illusion' says the poet. And how can it be otherwise?
We admire murderers, and seek awards from them: the harmless people we regard with contempt. We admire the criminal, and vote for him in great numbers and defend him in our living rooms; we respect the hypocrite, the dishonest, the downright bad.
The world bestows honours on the wicked, and scorn on the good. We call the evil, good, and the good, evil.
Assuredly, 'amal khayal ast'.
