Farideh and Mina were polar opposites when it came to politics - one was a dedicated Marxist and the other a determined monarchist. What they shared was their unconditional hatred for the present regime. When I think of how their talents were wasted, my resentment grows for a system that either physically eliminated the brightest and most dedicated or forced them to lay waste to the best in themselves, transforming them into ardent revolutionaries, like Farideh , or hermits, like Mina and my magician. They withdrew and simmered in their dashed dreams.
