It was nice talking to you again Hamed. I’ll visit your website more frequently.

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.

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!

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…

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.
