Power and traditions passed through generations
In the kitchen of my house, my grandmother's radio will receive strange signals at the time of year when the air is extremely dry and I'm guessing it might be from the effects of a strong blow of the harmattan wind. Today as I was doing the laundry, and preparing to make my breakfast, I heard the news on the radio and it was about Iran, the radio was not too clear but because of what was being said I took my phone and searched what was going on.
Apparently, Mojtaba Khamenei has officially succeeded his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the Supreme Leader of Iran. His son has followed in his father's footsteps. Hezbollah has sent its expressions of connection. The transition between the two generations looks to have gone smoothly without the conflict I thought was going to happen, so for anyone watching, your guess is as good mine, that the train continues to move in the same direction, Iran might not change in the their culture and politics at all.
I wondered what Trump is going to do about this one. Well he did say he never gets bored. Iran now has a ruler who sees Trump and America as the people who killed his father. What do you think will happen?
This power was passed down through arrangements and deals made in closed door meetings held in rooms that we will never see or know about. Let me give you a small example and see where your mind goes about the situation. My next door neighbour owns a store that sells only purified water in packages. When her daughter becomes a woman, she will not inherit anything with the exception of the expertise regarding the capacity of making frozen drinks with cold drinking water using the same purification process as her mother's has used.
Until a greater influence changes perception the system will not stop, it will only change its face.
