Bedeutung
To deliberately ignore a fault, mistake, or unpleasant fact.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iranian culture, pointing out a guest's mistake is a major social error. Hosts will often 'cheshm-pooshi' even if a guest breaks an expensive item to ensure the guest doesn't feel ashamed. In Islamic jurisprudence (Sharia) which influences Iranian law, the concept of 'afw' (forgiveness) encourages victims to 'cheshm-pooshi' from their right to retaliation in favor of mercy. Persian poets like Rumi and Hafez often speak of God's 'cheshm-pooshi' toward human sins as a sign of divine love.
The 'Az' Rule
Always remember the 'Az'. It's the bridge between the mistake and the act of ignoring it.
Ta'arof Power
