Do you have an unspoken oc for Claude's father?
I do! He was born of a modern au rp, but I think he fits well in canon, too. Bahman Farzad, kind of an absent-minded guy unless he needs to snap a critical matter into focus, smitten with Tiana, a little bewildered at his children's infighting. Short king, metaphorically and literally, and pretty broad of stature (Tiana would call him thick 😉) I like him, he's got his flaws for sure, but I like him. 💖 Thank you for asking!

There is garbage in us, namely violence, jealousy, and anger. But if we are good gardeners we will not be afraid of this garbage because we know how to transform the garbage in us into flowers, the flowers of understanding and compassion. The practice of spirituality is not one of running away from suffering. It is the practice of learning how to transform suffering into well-being. A good practitioner knows the exact amount of suffering that she or he needs. If we allow suffering to overwhelm us we will die; that is why we need the exact amount of suffering that will help us to understand and to love. If the amount of suffering is huge in our society, it is because not many of us know how to transform the garbage back into flowers.
- Thich Nhat Hanh

Si. Si les acteurs mondiaux actuels sont suffisamment authentiques et transparents, vous apprendrez la vérité sur la dissimulation COVID — sinon, il faudrait se contenter de l'idée qu'elle a été provoquée par des chauves-souris et des pangolins.
Si vous leur permettez d'emprisonner votre esprit, dans la peur, vous devrez en supporter les conséquences.

I grew up in a time of war. There was destruction all around - children, adults, values, a whole country. As a young person, I suffered a lot. Once the door of awareness has been opened, you cannot close it. The wounds of war in me are still not all healed. There are nights I lie awake and embrace my people, my country, and the whole planet with my mindful breathing.
Without suffering, you cannot grow. Without suffering, you cannot get the peace and joy you deserve. Please don't run away from your suffering. Embrace it and cherish it. Go to the Buddha, sit with him, and show him your pain. He will look at you with loving kindness, compassion, and mindfulness, and show you ways to embrace your suffering and look deeply into it. With understanding and compassion, you will be able to heal the wounds in your heart, and the wounds in the world. The Buddha called suffering a Holy Truth, because our suffering has the capacity of showing us the path to liberation. Embrace your suffering, and let it reveal to you the way to peace.
- Thich Nhat Hanh, in “The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching”.
