Going forward and not BACK…
I try to, and most often succeed, in seeing people as to what they are as opposed to what they say. Not to be claiming to be the [see all] by any means.
But one thing I have a hard time of digesting is the fact that we as Iranians tend to look backward as opposed to looking forward in pursuit of real progress.
There is absolutely no doubt about as to where we, as Iranians, have been; our majestic history, best of the scenery, beautiful of all people, perfect mixture of all ethnicity and traditions and the most beautiful of all poetry and literature. So what IF that we did not spearhead the Industrial revolution where the masses were enslaved for the good of the so called society[sarcasim intended]?
With all that gibberish said! What is it that we are to do? Look forward into the future? Or backward in the history in order to find our identity? More profound question is that what is that identity that we are looking for, be it in the past, present or the future?
We are but handful of people in this site, compared to the whole scheme of the things and we are YET to agree on one point. How is it that we expect those true FREEDOM FIGHTERS in the streets of Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Mashhad, Tabriz, ……universities, schools and homes in REAL Iran to react and confront all these brutalities committed by the IR regime? Are we here to tell them how to?
Do we, as a bunch of COMFY Diaspora have the right to utter a word? Or is it that all we can do is to lend the support, and let them brave souls do the work? OR!
Are we ever so arrogant and bellyful of nothingness that we have the audacity to tell those grieving parents, husbands, wives and children that we SHALL in the Diaspora, from comfort of our cozy dwellings and secure lives tell you what you people in the streets of IRAN need to do to or not to do?
