Happy Monday & Happy New Year. This week’s Persian poem is by Sa’di, written over 700 years ago, and still uncomfortably relevant. Bani Adam is a reminder that indifference is not neutrality. If we can witness suffering and feel nothing, Sa’di is clear: you are not a human being. Inscribed at the United Nations and quoted by world leaders. But its real weight is in what it asks of us. #persian #poetry #history #saadi #humanity
