Approving Change
Kurdishaspect.com - By Kay Azadabeen
A play titled approving change might be coming to a theater near you soon. Five characters play the roles of great speakers with convincing ideas. Two of them seem to have a deeper understanding of what needs to be changed. However, they are too much ahead of their time without a chance to make a tangible difference in today's real world. They both are questioning the integrity of some powerful industries. The audience wishes them endurance so their idea turns into practice by future generations.
The other three characters are ex-idealists who had turned pragmatic so the previous and maybe the current generation could relate to them. All three seem to be dedicated to their cause, their faith, their family, and themselves. They also make the impression they care about the people at home and around the world.
The oldest and seemingly the wisest among them is almost a liberal for his age group. He had experienced the hardship by his enemies and is convinced that an eye for an eye or even two for one is a better answer to criminals. He is not sure that time changes although an antique clock with a pendulum in his office shows the evidence. It seems as if the pendulum has been entangled in the right position and he prefers to keep it that way instead of disentangling it.
The middle aged one had been an ex-conservative turned liberal temporarily. As the head of a previously dysfunctional household she has gained experience to negotiate with the head of dysfunctional governments. She has learned to protect the interest of the business to make sure there is enough flow of capital. She is convinced she would attract the attention of the biggest minority in the world that has a population of over three billion yet dominated by few leaders who represent the more aggressive gender.
The youngest character has been raised as liberal and turned conservative in style. His eloquent style accompanied but new ideas and honesty has gained the attention of the intellectuals and the disenfranchised at home, the hungry in Africa, the skeptics in Europe, and even the fanatics in the Middle East. He believes by believing in him, the international community would recognize which country is still the best in term of liberty and equal opportunity and so it could gain the respect of everybody in the world again.
In the last scene the three characters conclude they are beyond the age of changing the world overnight. They turn to their conscious and search for a changeable common ground. They realize there is one region of the world that is much overdue for a real change. They notice this region has been inhibited by a minority with a population of over 30 million, divided and ruled by four aggressive dysfunctional central governments, and discriminated against by dominant groups for being ethnically different. The three agree not to fool people at least on April first and do everything in their capacity to approve the liberation of this divided people. They agree if most parts of the Middle East are not ready for freedom yet, all parts of Kurdistan are because since the World War I the people in this region have been asking when will be free or kay azad abeen?
