Is it fair not to show what we think?
In many cultures, people have to suffer from systems that are sold to them as facts that they believe they cannot find on their own. I see the fate of my family and tribe who think they are only good because they follow a very strict version of thoughts and whoever abandons it becomes a bad person.
Leaving thoughts is like crossing an ocean, like swimming from one shore to another. I'm already on the high seas and I can't see the shore I left. Waves of hatred rise up against me and threaten to drown me, and I go through mortal fear because I cannot return to the prison from which I came. I know very well that my public criticism will cause people to leave and hate me.
The power of the tribe is like a big circle that surrounds people and is like a prison to their eyes and minds. The circle grows larger until it becomes a mist over their eyes and their minds and there is only silence. They thought that one day it would be the only way out for them! These are the same faces that I thought would fix everything with an illusion.
They left the mind to the measure of chance. What does the mind do to them while they do nothing for it? So I try to flee and escape from the teeth of Sharia and society. Because I can no longer live with the language and style of brutality, hatred, persecution, violence, ridicule and bullying. This is the language they teach every child.
My country has banned people from free choice. Our voices were silenced as sacrifices to customs, traditions and laws, poisonous to anyone who tried to approach them.
In a country where the uniqueness of thought is forbidden. In a country where any revolutionary was arrested.
Rather, anyone who told the truth. You have only two choices: write your rights on paper and bury them, or express them and lose your job, nationality, and life.
Man is also born in a cocoon like a butterfly. However, the cocoon of man is different.
The cocoon of the butterfly is easy to remove, because its structure is thin. It does not become harder and harder to leave it. The cocoon of man has many layers, starting with the cocoon of faith, customs and traditions, and so on. These are difficult to overcome. Why? Because they are considered axioms and constants that must not be abandoned. You will pay for it with your life! These cocoons force us to spend our lives in trenches, afraid to reveal ourselves, our truth and our thoughts.
