In Persian and Turkish literature there is a perpetual clash over morality between two archetypes, the ascetic and the bohemian. Throughout the history of Muslim peoples, traditional moral authorities like imams, preachers, muftis and sharia judges are those who judge and make decisions about the fate of the people in this world, and, moreover, in the afterlife. Ignoring the earthly dimensions of man, these authorities, claim to create a purely spiritual individual. Such a discourse created individuals who had to either lead an ascetic life or have two contradictory ways of living. Living with double standards caused the rise of hypocrisy and deceitfulness. The fighting against this phenomenon of hypocrisy took a special place in Persian literature, and later in Turkish, furthermore, in the Oriental-Islamic Albanian tradition. Such a topic has occupied an important place likewise in the poetic work of Ymer Lufti Paçarizi. In his poetry there are two literary characters, the ascetic vs bohemian, who follow completely opposite discourses on morality.
