Out & About w/#RandomThoughts

It has been quite a Week — I decided to be a bit upbeat in spite of all the challenging times we’ve been witness to. As I am writing this, I have been working on some #RandomThoughts on Iran which I hope to release soon — as the work are also continuing @ The Daily Outsider. I joined the movement to stop the current wave of executions #StopExecutionsInIran as I saw that over 5 Million People participated. What is horrific and sickening for me is that in Sudan and Saudi Arabia, horrific penalties that are ostensibly Islamic are now illegal (including lashes) — yet in Iran they remain in Iran. What was also so horrific for me (and frankly sickening) was how Iran was 16th in Average Income before the Revolution and now is even worst than Bangladesh in the average monthly income.

In spite of it all, I remain optimistic about the future of Iran in spite of the current profound horrific conditions — but the struggle for a new Iran remains. The need to stay upbeat is absolutely critical as I close out these brief thoughts with the following from the team at The Daily Stoic:

Perhaps you’re alarmed about the state of the world. Perhaps you’re horrified at the risks and dangers that lurk about. Pandemics, political chaos, riots, people at each other’s throats, unprecedented events — from cancelled NBA seasons to impeachments to a collapse in order in cities all over the world.
