The so-called freedom is but one illusion after another
Maiya 2022-04-20 09:01:44
The black-and-white woodcut-like memory is magnified, and the absurd world casts a bitter taste on the memories of immature youth. Even if it is a joke, it can't help but embellish a bit of gloom in the nostalgia. This intellectual reflection also makes us naturally ask ourselves, "Where did we come from?" "Where are we going?" Iran is nothing more than the concrete and small of this absurd world, those vast and boundless things, such as countries, religions, wars , all the things that do not talk about tolerance, the backlog of individual people has nowhere to hide. We long for freedom, and so-called freedom is just one illusion after another.
