In a world filled with frustrating and unfortunate news, it’s hard to come by with any good news. Last month, the most uplifting news I heard was about the downfall of one of the histories of most feared dictators, Bashar al-Assad. I learned about this from various sources, including websites and social media. And it truly made me feel elated. The fact that he had tortured the Syrian people for approximately 50 years made this news particularly encouraging. I sincerely hope that a similar outcome will occur in Iran soon. Loving its culture and the civilized people faced a multitude of issues including struggles from freedom and economic hardship. These days, especially with Iran under sanction, it is difficult for me and the other in more fortunate situations to remain helpful.
