Persian Peps

The Rubaiyat

It talked more about how we act and how thing happen thats how they stay. It shows that Persian people are very focused on how they act. They make sure that they treat people with respect because thats how things stay. You can't take back things that you do.

LXXI

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

 Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit

 Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it."

Manners of Kings

This story gave four simple things to live by; treat others with respect, treat them how you would want to be treated, be thankful with what you have and dont take it forgranted, and be merciful to others. These four simple qualities show how the Persians lived. They treated others as they would themselves and how you can't be mean to others because that could come back to hurt you. "What thou hast said is certain. Moreover, I preferred to save this one because, when I happened to lag behind in the desert, he seated me on his camel, whereas I had recieved a whipping by the hands of the other. When I was a boy I recited: He, who doth right, doth it to his own soul and he, who doth evil, doth against the same." (page 110).
