I wish that Iran fulfills its true potential.
I wish that Iran becomes a land of freedom so that
all Iranians can participate in its development.
I wish that no Iranian goes without food, shelter,
work and medical care.
I wish that we always live in peace and resolve
our problems without any military action.
I wish that our cities
become pollution free and our roads safe to drive on.
I wish that Iranians can learn to live and work
without destroying and poisoning the environment.
I wish that our best and brightest would not leave
and instead stay and help make Iran what it can be.
I wish that those Iranians living abroad return
and help Iran become a great nation.
I wish that we could learn
to live together without having some of us telling the rest of
us how to live or worship. I wish that Iranians following a formal spiritual
path could learn to not impose their path on the rest of us and
trust their fellow
Iranians to discover God on their own.
I wish those Iranians following a spiritual path
lead by example and education and not through propaganda and brainwashing.
I wish that those Iranians following a spiritual
path have enough faith in their own path that their mission can
still be carried
out when there is a separation of mosque and state.
I wish that
Iranians could learn to live with true freedom of expression, freedom
of speech, and freedom of religion -- and freedom
from fear. I wish that a social environment could be established
so that the true creative potential of each of us could be realized.
Finally I wish that all Iranians regained their
faith in their country and made the commitment to its future generations
because
if we don't take up the responsibility who will? Who will
educate our new generation? Who will teach them how to resolve
their problems through debate, examination, trust, and not, through
force? Who will teach them about our ancestors, people that once
ruled, managed, and advanced the known world? Who will guide them
to a higher standard of living where fairness, honesty, honor,
and intelligence and knowledge are the cultural bedrock? The answer is you.
You are the answer.
If not you, then who?
