While we grieve Delara’s fate, I would like to think that her life and its tragic ending is not a loss.
That the pain we feel and grief we share must indeed lead to a transformation of our collective hearts, minds, and souls.
Could not her tragic end and the many thousands of other lives which have been trampled and extinguished not be accounted for by the spiritual awakening of a disillusioned society that prides its past and laments its present?
I cannot but help to think that the future of Iran is contingent not just on the voices that are heard by others, but rather the voices that need to be heard within, and compel this long overdue transformation in us, as a nation.
