In response to Iran a reflection
The questions here are just rhetorical except the last one.I look around and I see so many; my sadness beats your sadness and then 5 minutes later after reading a satire; thanks I needed that!Do we really “need” anything?Do we really “feel” that sad?Have we really cried that much?
This reminds me of not having a dollar to our names and spending wildly or saying nice things to someone and then rumor mongering.It may not be that way but it appears that way and you just can’t tell.It is just annoying.Talents such as beautiful poems aside, there is no need to be extra sad or cry too much and be in “morning” 😉Just remember to care and show it but don’t show it off.
I don’t know what to make of all these world-wide protests.More power to them.Are they supporting the protesters or themselves?This is all good but it kind of feels flat to me.I like the candle vigils and admire adopting the green ribbons.When people (students actually) protested during Shah it was different.They really risked something when they went out there.Not today.Many don’t even speak Farsi.
When Ahmadi comes to UN will people come to protest?How many will be there?Will people come by cars, planes, trains, taxis, subways and any way they can to protest when it counts the most?That is when it is more likely that people in Iran will hear about it.
