Iran has been a big question mark for a long time, books and movies are the only mirage of this ancient country in eyes of different nations. Eastern ad Western Mass media has been created scary indeed and depressing at the same time image of Iran in people’s mind as if they had a mission to create the ugliest picture of all times and sure they were successful in this competition so far. Although people whom thinking is not in their daily busy schedule the ones who do not even have any clear idea bout their own president can not be blamed .
But what about the ones that want to know more, they think and ask and they are curious? What is Iran? Is it the make up worn face of the actress representing Iran in film festival or the pony tailed director with hippie glasses? or maybe it is Ahmadi nejad not missing even one headline of the hot news. Maybe Iran is the home of confused youth with designer’s sunglasses and starving for more and more university degrees?

While ago we spread civilization, knowledge ,humanity all over the world .The knowledge that West now starts to know about it! We survived the knowledge but ourselves sank in Barbarism.

There is a going flame in my chest, I have a pity toward my nation, my motherland , I have a pity to my very own self, As if I am an advocate of other nation’s enlightenment toward Iran...Leave me alone, I am not full of shame for being an Iranian, my pain is the corrupted mirage of my land....Secret Ballot movie was the last sword that landed on my body...come on people...Turkish- Arabic-Persian accent of us is not the big deal ,our pain is not wearing Gucci or not wearing D & G ,our pain is not stainless steel fridge and stone counter nor MTV.. our pain is being lost! Our pain is from the very deep wound.

Time that my people are spending on shopping the capitalism gift is the time used against them to picture them as wild beasts. AAA my people why postponing a minute of thinking to other day? You are busy with what? That has been a while that 5 + kids in family is not usual, excuse of being involve with family life does not seem the right excuse of not thinking...Farms have been dried to make glamorous towers and there is no cow to be milked by you, so you are busy with what!? Time of your creation, thoughts has been occupied with which demon?

I have a great pain on my chest...a burning flame..

For sure each time of introducing myself as an Iranian there is a hidden tear in my eye ,my tear is not from shame but from fear of ugly picture of us in other minds..that untrue picture and the propaganda image is my grieve.

Other people like us ..but the ones that do not want any headaches prefer to ignore us..we are an ugly spot on their perfect planet.

Constant tension in our nation made us so paranoid, so aggressive that the most ignorable cruelty seems so harsh to us, we want to grab the closest sword and tear off all the cruelty all at once all alone.. Cruelty, Injustice have stolen our patience .

Unhealthy political-social life of our nation wounded us terribly, relief of this pain is so not simple .our wounds seem still new ..We want immediate cure for this wounds in any costs.. in any names..

My Shiraz, My Tabriz, My mountains, My Caspian, my Perspolise, my Lout Desert, my Persian( Arabic) Gulf , jungles, rivers ... let’s wish our people an eye to see. A desire to think , till there is no thoughts in vacant minds we will be wounded .Wounded and ugly.....
