Resistance!

By: Abd-us-samad Rajaee
In the year 1335 I was 7 years old and I lived with my uncle (Mr. Rajaee), on Samangan Street in Narmak area. Then, he had special programs for refinement of his character. For instance when we went to take a bath, he sat under shower and asked me:" Dear Samand, please shut the cold water slowly." I obeyed and shut the cold water completely. He sat under burring hot water with his thin body and olive complexion and did not move until his skin turned red. I told him:" Dear uncle, I am feeling suffocated from burning vapors". Then he said:”?O.k., now gradually turn on the cold water and shut down the hot one". Because I was a child and I wanted to play tricks upon him, I opened and closed valves suddenly. But I again he did not move. At that time I did not understood what he meant by doing so, but later I understand that at that time he had predicted that some day in future SAVAK would arrest and torture him, therefore he was preparing himself for that purpose.
