I confess: I love being Iranian because we are intelligent, loving, generous and kind people but mostly because I can read Hafez & Molana in Farsi; But I hate being Iranian because we are bigots, chauvinists & egotistical people who believe we are superior to everybody.
I confess: I love Iranians because we have contributed so much to the world; But I hate Iranians because we brag that everything was invented by us.
I confess: I love the flag because it carries the colors of life (green), death (red) and peace (white); But I hate the flag because the little emblem in the middle has caused so much rift between us.
I confess: I loved my life during the Shah, and while I am not a Monarchist at all, I believe we had a much better life during the Shah and we took it for granted; But I have hated my life so much in “ghorbat” that I blame the intellectuals and the "Left" for putting me in this misery.
I confess: I love a democratic government of people for the people and by the people; But I hate IRI for 30 years of oppression and ushering in an era of hate and ignorance.
I confess: I love spirituality, the continual endeavor to notice and create beauty and love in the world; But I hate Islam and ALL organized religions for their brutality and murder and war in the name of god and causing a horrible divide between the people of the world.
I confess: I will pray and hope for a Free Iran; But unfortunately, I don’t believe Iran will be free in my life time…..

Right on Niloo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and keep on writing but don't despair. I'm hopeful that we will see a free Iran in very near future. :)
