My dear one,
Not every smile comes from kindness.
Not every scream is a threat.
Not every silence leads to peace.
Not every “intellectual” carries light.
Sometimes, the oppressor wears the mask of a victim,
and sometimes, true victims rise and fight like heroes.
Not every negotiation saves,
and not every war is evil.
Even rockets can destroy… or rescue
Not every belief of the religious, the scientists, the celebrities, or the politicians is right,
but not all of them are wrong either.
Beliefs, values, principles, decisions…
all are vulnerable.
So don’t be afraid.
Just remember, everything carries a shade of relativity.
Before accepting any belief,
pause…
take a few steps back,
see the bigger picture,
and then choose.
Never stand behind names,
names are incomplete,
and they can disappoint you
or quietly steal your clarity.
People are made of many shades.
Some of their choices are wrong,
some are right.
Because sometimes,
personal interests gently outweigh deeper values.
Trust the world,
but not only the calm and gentle version of it.
Trust also the world where,
at times,
peace, safety, and freedom
must be fought for.
And always leave a little room for doubt,
even in these words.
Nowruz Pirooz!
