I Felt Extremely Ashamed
(By One of the Air Force Personnel)
Two days after the liberation of Khorramshahr, I was transferred to Omidieh Air Base and I found one of the personnel in "H" building as a roommate.
The environmental situation of the base was not very ideal because of being newly established and due to the conditions of the imposed war.
Once, I was accompanying my roommate along the corridor of the building. My friend was complaining about the terrible condition of the inn and was grumbling and sometimes he blamed the base commander.
Someone was coming towards us. When he reached us, my roommate said angrily annoyingly, "Excuse me, sir! Do you know the base commander?" Yes, I do. My roommate was a little scurrilous and he called the base commander names .while that person was confirming my friend's statements, he said, "You are right, I see red when I think of him.
My friend said, "Can you give me his address? That person said," Yes, you can go to the three-winged building, the second floor, room number 23.
My friend set out for the commander's home the following day. He returned after an hour, he was very distressed, then he said, "I am feeling extremely ashamed. I don't want to live like this any more. I said, "What's the matter? He added, "When I entered the commander's room, I got astonished. I saw a scene that I thought everything was over for me. The person before whom I had abused the base commander yesterday was the base commander himself, that is to say, Colonel Ardestani! I asked surprisingly" Did he say anything to you about yesterday's meeting? He said, "I wish he had. Although he recognized me, he didn't reveal it and he asked about shortcomings. He assured me that he would do his best to remove them. I said "What he did, reminded me of Malek Ashtar.
Malek Ashter was returning from the Bazaar when a person dropped rubbish on to him.
Although he was Ali's division commander, he didn't heed and continued walking. Someone told him "Didn't you recognize him? He is the commander of the division. Go to him and apologize to him immediately." That person went to the mosque to ask Malek to forgive him. Malek told him "I said this prayer for you and begged God to grant you absolution." Now what happens between you and the commander is very similar to that scene.
