Let’s not be part of this group in the new year
Ignorance is not in not knowing, it is in resistance to knowing. Whenever and wherever we feel that we don’t need to know more or resist an informative and different article, we have smiled at ignorance.
Let’s practice in 2017 so that we don’t forget that we are ordinary people in the world. Nowhere has there been a competition to select the kindest, most intelligent and bravest people in the world, for which we have won the gold medal, and some Iranians are even looking to discover the genealogy of Lionel Messi, Bill Gates, and Einstein to prove it. They are Iranian. Is it possible that all this was good and successful and first class, but he was not Iranian?!
In order to progress, we must put aside illusions and exaggerations. We are people like other people in the world, a little better, a little worse. In moments we are wonderful, in moments calling. To get better, we must believe this point deeply.
Sir, we have a history of several thousand years, this means we are better!
Ancient Greece left a much deeper impact on history than ancient Iran. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Thales, Pythagoras, Euclid, Hippocrates, etc. In philosophy, politics, medicine, art, mathematics, etc. They were a masterpiece of creation. But Greece reached such a level of misery a few years ago that some even offered to sell a part of its land to a neighboring country in order to survive!
Egypt also has an amazing civilization, but these days it is caught in several political factions, economic corruption and ethnic tensions, and is experiencing a pathetic situation after a revolution.
Retrospect is different from retrospect. “I had, I don’t have an account, I have an account”! Being proud of the past and glorious history is not enough for happiness.
We have to accept that we are not having a good time, take a look at the flock and complaints around us, does Trump bring and dump all this garbage in the street, sea and desert at night when we are sleeping?
All these road massacres are the result of Israeli intervention? Is this market turbulence and economic disorder and the professional broker of Saudi work? Was the man who threw a glass bottle of Delaster out of the car yesterday on the freeway in front of me and it broke into a thousand pieces and nearly killed the occupants of several cars, was he Saddam’s son-in-law?
The British Prime Minister comes every year for Nowruz and sets fire to hectares of thousands of years old forest for a grilled chicken and a hot tea?
Let’s believe that we should put aside the exaggerated compliments and praises and accept that there are people living in this country who are not only ignorant but also resist knowing. Try not to be in this category.
This article is not aimed at self-harm and theft of national self-confidence, but rather a reminder to ourselves that we should stop the usual exaggerations and face the realities around us like a disease. Denying and hiding the disease has a far more painful result than treatment.
To save this land, we need to become better people.
