Hello dear friends
Have a good Saturday
Sometimes, in all these crises and chaos, the question comes to mind, what can we do in the current situation? In other words, instead of nagging and negativity that rains from earth and sky these days, and of course it is not to be blamed, what action can we take in our circle of influence to make ourselves and others feel a little better?
Suggestions:
1- Review the economic portfolio of our family in order to reduce the culture of consumerism.
Example 1: If now shirt, shoes, coat. As much as we have to meet our usual needs, there is no reason to buy these items to satisfy our diversity seeking spirit.
Example 2: Reduce purchases of food items to essential items. There is no reason why there are always fruits like peaches, pears, nectarines, etc. in our refrigerator. to exist
Example 3: Reduce the use of personal vehicles as much as possible.
Example 4: Reduce ceremonies and receptions in family and friendly gatherings and parties.
2- Avoid self-deprecation. In the current situation, repeating the phrase that we Iranians. And then bringing a series of insulting sentences and phrases is a deadly poison and is rooted in ignorance and ignorance of Iranian history and identity. Let’s try not to spread this false idea, especially when dealing with young people.
3- Let’s love and empathize. This kindness can be done in the family environment, work, bus line, subway, taxi or any private or public place. If the taxi driver is grumpy and angry and is harsh with us, instead of confronting him, let’s talk to him calmly. Let’s say we understand his situation, ask his family and let him feel that we are like him. Believe me, today’s society needs kindness more than ever.
4- Increase our knowledge and awareness of Iranian history and identity. We did not fall into the trap of pseudo-scientific propositions in cyberspace that are often published without reliable sources. We will not republish a report until we have confirmed its authenticity. Read, read and read and invite others to read. For this purpose, small reading groups can be created in the space of family, friends, or work environment.
5- Be demanding. This demand can start from our work environment. Indifference and lack of information does not heal our pain.
6- Try to perform the best in our area of responsibility. Iranian society is made up of Iranians. If all Iranians perform the best in their area of responsibility, we will definitely have a better Iran. The fact that the officials are corrupt, or the administrative system is corrupt and inefficient, is not an acceptable excuse for our lack of responsibility in our sphere of influence.
7- Let’s not neglect human beings with flesh, skin and blood. By observing the things mentioned in the first paragraph, we can think more about our compatriots who basically do not have a refrigerator in which they can put fruit. We all know of campaigns around us that we can confidently help make some human being just a little, just a little bit happier.
8- Let’s not forget, Iran has survived very difficult conditions. Let’s not empty each other’s hearts, Iran and Iranians will emerge proud from this historical experience this time.
And at the end, let’s always whisper this beautiful poem of the great mystic of Rumi’s rank:
Don’t say that everyone is at war and what will happen to my peace
You are not one, you are a thousand, light your own lamp
In the hope of a prosperous and free Iran
