Election propaganda

Many people like to look back on history, glean from it what they can, and apply it to their everyday lives. This is done to avoid repeating past mistakes. Now my question is what is history? How do you avoid not making the same mistake over and over again? Does anyone have an answer for that? ["Cheraa Khatami?"]

My dearest Iranian friends. Please for a moment think. Nothing remains the same and many things from the past don't work in the present. When we try to make the old ways fit in today's culture, the consequence is cultural shock. There are some basic principles that still hold true today and continue to uphold humanity. One is love, which is the essence of life and the basis of most religions. Decisions based on a loving motivation are upheld. Along the way, there are many rules and regulations that man has fostered to uphold humanity.

Do you see things with which you don't agree? Do you do anything about it? Now think about that. If you do nothing, you are part of what keeps that situation intact. You have the power to begin freeing things up. You've just forgotten, because it's been so long since anyone reminded you that things have changed and these are no longer ancient times. Now we're living in a time when we can regain our power. Iran is not the same Iran once you and I lived in. Iran is not the same Iran our fathers once lived. Now, in this virtual world, you all are competing to make your way of thinking right. But, why? What makes you think that your way is the only way?

Gentlemen, "politics makes strange bedfellows." Now as we are approaching another set up elections in Iran, I see all of you are being vociferous. Do you have any clue that this election in Iran is not an election. It is a man-made propaganda to make it look like that Iranians are actually choosing someone or something.

I have learned that life is too short and you die, and it is not worth to get involved in politics. Now, whether Khatami wins the election or any other person who has been approved by GC, it makes no difference. Iran has a long way to go to become a civilized nation, and you all can fight to teeth here in this virtual world and nothing will ever change unless Iranians in Iran make it happen.

We all have some hidden energy. We just have to know where and how direct that energy to. Where your energy is best directed. You may be the person to come up with a new idea, You may be the new Babak-e Khormdin, you may be the person who adds support, or perhaps you're the one who makes it count. Now is the time to release the limitations and allow the unique thoughts and concepts to flow. Don't judge every thought and idea, simply allow them to flow and allow them to pile up as you explore and take a little from here and a little from there. Make it a light experience.

Probe for the treasures that are contained within the dilemma. Allow the ego to take a back seat. Choose the concepts which are the epitome of love. Allow this love for Iran to carry it forward. Next, act on your choice. Make an inroad here and a crevice there. It will take the energy of many self-responsible people to restore freedom. You can't do it for another person, and you can't make them do it. Now if we want freedom, we'll have to create it for ourselves. We cannot leave it in the hands of others unless we are sure we are clear about their motivation. Freedom is a responsibility and a choice â¤" your choice. Iran needs that choice. If you love Iran, then prove it to all us.

To a free Iran...
