There Will Be Freedom
This post is a tribute to those who died in the long road for freedom. To those who wanted the dirt off. To those who sacrificed their lives for us. And last but not least, to those who still have their hands in cuffs.
We will remember you, now and forever.
I can see the day the pain’s gone away. There is shine in people’s eyes, smile on their faces. They now understand what a valuable piece of blessing Freedom is. They don’t take it for granted anymore. They know that they must work hard to keep it. I can see that day, I can feel it.
The last part goes to some very touching quotes from the movie “Valkyrie“.
1. Stauffenberg: Do you know how this war will end, Lieutenant?
The portrait will be unhung, and the man will be hung.
2. Henning: Well, we have to show the world, that not all of us were like him.
3. Ervin Von Witzleben: You may hand us over to the executioner, but in three months’ time, the disgusted and hurried people will bring you to book and drag you alive through the dirt in the streets.
You did not bear the shame, you resisted, sacrificing your life for freedom, justice and honor.
-From the German resistance memorial, Berlin

Many of you have already heard of things going on in Iran. I wanted so much to talk openly over these issues and incidents, I even had articles on my mind to publish but… You guessed it right. Things are different here. You could loose everything in a blink of an eye. So, all I can

As you may know, web site was down for one full day. It wasn’t technical fault or anything like that. My so much loved web hosting provider, Bluehost did me a big favor and shut down my web site due to new USA government sanctions on Iran. So thank you new administration, thank you Mr.

In this post, I would like to point out some personal beliefs over the political issues. Please note that I DO NOT have the purpose to target any political side in the world. These are MY OWN beliefs only and never intended to target any group. Politics has always been a main subject to discuss

Hi again Hamed, hope you be okay…
I admire your being so optimistic, but I don’t think there will be freedom here, at least not anytime soon. Things are upside down in here, villagers rule and educated suffer. And when I look around myself realistically, I see more and more people who are affected by propoganda and indoctrination than people who think differently.
And those people who got their blood spilled, I can say they were just unlucky pawns of terrible political games. I just wish someone will prove me wrong.

Hi Dear Majid, So glad to hear from you again…
I agree with you mostly about the things and the situation going on here. It can not be denied, neither neglected.
But you know what, freedom has never been achieved in a short period of time in any story at history. Our road to freedom is no different. It will take time, patience and huge efforts, but eventually it will happen. That’s what matters in my opinion. We might not even get to see that in our life time, but it will happen. People will enjoy it and appreciate the feeling.
And about all these bloodshed, they are just a great boost and acceleration to movement. Yes, innocent people loose their lives, but that’s not in vain. What else could possibly help us better to get our voice heard around the world?
You might call it optimism but I believe every movement is like a child and it needs time to grow. There is no exception for this need. An incomplete and deviated movement would result in a shaky situation which could destroy all the good efforts. We have to accept, we won’t make it in a short period of time and we’d better not. I really hope so. But eventually we will. Look back in the history, it has always taken time and it will always do. So, it’s a good sign for us that it has already started. We just need to stick to the process…

What you say could be right but we’ll need generations. I mean look at us, we’ve been fighting for this for more than one hundred years and it’s only gotten worse. Although I see many flaws in their self-survival system, the cue and all, but it’s governments and Machiavellian politics we’re speaking of. In politics, the only thing that doesn’t matter at all is people!
You’ve definitely read “The Animal Farm”. It’s funny how the sheep go on chanting things from the beginning to the end. “four legs good, two legs bad” to “four legs good, two legs better!
Unfortunately, the way I see things, many of our people are the exact incarnation of those sheep. And these people can be formed into anything.
Even if we become free one day, that day won’t be coming anytime soon. We need healthy and standard media AND generations to come until we can be sure that these people know what freedom is and how to achieve and use it!
We’ll have to suffer so our descendants could be happy and we have to pay this price because we were terribly unlucky to be born in such a situation. Our children too will say these words. It’s just the sins of the fathers and a never ending circle.
The uprising might turn up the heat a little bit, but in my opinion, it won’t have much effect on the decisions of politicians. both inside and outside. Unless it becomes really serious and intense!

Yes, we have been suffering from lack of public awareness all the time in history of this country. I totally agree with you. I mean I agree with you in all aspects of your talk.
I think an important factor for us here is the awareness that recent 30 years has brought us. There are still people unaware and there will be some at any time. But a big majority of people have now changed their minds. What we can say for sure, most of educated young people who will be fathers and mothers of the next generation, are now aware enough for not being a sheep as you mentioned.
On the other hand, I think the experience of a religion based government system was a must have for this people. You need to have a failing system to prove many of this unaware people how things can go wrong for even religious leaders and politicians. That’s an important gain which I think has been achieved. Without it, we could go all wrong again just like what happened 30 years ago.
The truth is, power brings corruption. No matter who you are. Even I can easily go corrupt if I have power. And the trick is that a healthy political system is built on people’s collective power. not a superior person to decide what is right or wrong.
This is just a start for us. We should give it time to grow into a strong man from a child. Time is all we need, and huge effort to make people more aware which has become easier thanks to all these years. One is thing is crystal clear, there is no way back for this system, it’ll become weaker and weaker each day passing along.

Thanks Hamed for your words. It’s all true about the failing experience and I suppose some of our people have learnt their lesson, not all though. I too hope this child will live long enough to its maturity and become a real challenge for these guys.
It was nice talking to you again Hamed. I’ll visit your website more frequently.
