This series was initially inspired by verse 18 of book 1 of Mathnavi which literally translated says:

State of the cooked is beyond the raw
The wise in silence gladly withdraw

Some of the poems in this series were inspired by the poet's experiences, and some were inspired by other poets in Farsi or other languages.
