Friday was a bad day for me. I got to work, and my sinuses were flaring up again, I was in a great deal of pain.
Not only that, but I had realized that my efforts at work seem to be wasted. I try so hard, but still end up falling short. Everyone thinks that I am doing a wonderful job, but I still felt hopeless. I contemplated walking out. I sat at my desk, and thought about just quitting. I would rather live on the street than deal with this. I cried a little bit. I was so close to getting up and walking out. The day continued to be terrible.
I had been hearing a little bit about Iran's current struggles, but I wasn't really paying much attention. I was working my ass off and didn't have the time to do anything other than sleep, eat, and work. Today I started reading more about Iran's problems and watching videos. The more I read and the more I watch, the more I realize that my problems are nothing compared to what these people are going through.
I think that in seeing these people unit in such a way for what they believe in, the world can be a better place. These people are strong, determined and I commend them for standing up for themselves. They are suffering violence for what they believe in. This video in particular is very compelling to me:
My thoughts and dreams go out to everyone who is marching, protesting, and fighting for what they believe in in Iran.
What these people are going through put it in perspective for me: what I'm going through isn't even half as bad.
