Have you noticed that people are a little crazier than usual?  That, yes, we have to solve disputes first by talking.  But now the minute we start talking our voices become louder and louder so we don’t have to hear the other side.  Fascinating.  At the beginning of what was called “the reform” I had a conversation with a religious man I know and I mentioned that I am not happy living under a religious dictatorship.  “Why?” he said, “How would your life change?  Would it matter to you that you have to wear sleeves?”  That was the worst scenario he could imagine for me.  Now we’re separating men and women, and studies have shown that this leads to depression for the people depressed.  I am going to be seeing this guy again soon and I am sure our conversation will be quite different.  The worst scenario is much worse.  And we probably won’t be able to talk.
