Contexto cultural
Because Iranians value 'face' and politeness, 'be del gereftan' is a common fear. People will often add 'be del nagir' even if they haven't said anything mean, just to be safe. The 'Del' is a recurring theme in Rumi and Hafez. Taking things to the heart is seen as a burden that one should ideally let go of to reach spiritual peace.
