Forced work is worthless
Signification

Contexte culturel
Parents often use this proverb to justify why they shouldn't push their children too hard into specific careers, reflecting a modern shift toward valuing passion. The proverb aligns with the Sufi idea that only 'Ishq' (divine love/passion) can produce something truly beautiful. In Iranian startups, this is used to argue against 'crunch culture' or forced overtime. It is often cited in discussions about religious freedom, emphasizing that forced prayer or fasting has no spiritual merit.
