Fear authority!
By: Mojtaba Rasouli
Once early in the morning I went to my uncle’s (Martyr Rajaee) house to give my older brother’s message to him before he leave for his office. When I entered the house, I came across with a depressing scene. He was sitting in the house yard with worn-out underwear on, and a glass of milk and some dates in front of him. After greeting, he invited me to have breakfast with him.
Because I used to make joke with my uncle, I told him:”? O ’dear uncle, you do not look suitable. We do not expect you to smoke pipe or put orchid flower on your coat’s collar like shah’s Prime Minister, but at least you should have suitable underwear." And I said laughingly:”?O’ dear uncle, it seems that you are the Prime Minister.”?
After my joke, which was mixed with seriousness, he told me sadly:" You can buy one for me." I replied:" You are the Prime Minister, why should I buy for you?" He paused for a while and then told me something, which engraved in my mind like an engraved design on a stone .He said:" You should be afraid that someday power takes your uncle away from you!!! You should pray for the dominance of your over his authority and power, not the dominance of authority over him!!!”?
I became so glad of his advice, and embraced him and kissed his forehead.
