I would like to tell a short story about a method that my father and I used to kill the wolves which were after our hunted deer during our hunting trips in Iran. Without going into too graphic a detail, it involved the coating of razor sharp knives in layers of animal blood so that when they were found by the wolves, and they licked them, their thirst for blood became so intense that they did not realize that they had uncovered the blades and cut their own tongues, and did not recognize that the blood they were tasting was their own, to the point that they would eventually bleed to death on the spot.

Sometimes, this focal point, can be something less that admirable. We should count any man braver who overcomes his desires, than he who conquers his enemies, for sometimes the hardest victory is the victory over self . We should attempt to continue with self introspection on an ongoing routine. By congregating with each other regularly, we can uplift one another with "friendly counsel" and a sharing of values and enlightenment. This could never be done through Conspiracies, Espionage, Terrorism, Wars and the existence of Secret Societies .

We were the more fortunate people in Iran, and we had the responsibilty and the duty to care for the less fortunate, but the taste of money and power became so intense that in the end we destroyed ourselves and our country ; we should all be brave enough to admit it . Some of us, including my father and I who loved our country, were betrayed by the forces (United States and Britain)who were meant to support our puppet-monarchy .

We as individuals, all Politicians , Dictators and Presidents of the Democratic Governments should learn about circumscribing our desires and keeping our passions within due bounds. Our thirst for money and power can become so intense that we could eventually destroy ourselves .We can very easily become so focused upon certain topics, that we fail to see what is actually going on around us.
