Plasters on their feet both were sitting on the sofa. The one bonded in clean white gypsum was the son who had newly got accident while driving his motorcycle in a high way in Tehran and the other was his father, at his early fifties who had a weary green plaster, denoting the incident had occurred some time ago. He, the father, had fallen from a tree while picking walnuts and up to that night, I and my wife did not have the time to visit them.
The son explained to us how the accident happened and his father too, talked about the broad but decayed branch which looked strong deceived him to step on it in the 4 meter height. He also told us his own experience of motorcycle accident in which (while showing his front gum) he had lost his front teeth. Then again, the son retold the news of a human hand founded in near by park and aware of my 16 years old son's jogging habit, sympathetically warned us to be careful. Then he gave the details of his own experience being threatened by three men holding knifes and how they robbed his money and cell phone.
Bit by bit my wife was getting nervous and I already could see my son is losing his jogging opportunity. And when we came back home, after a short argument my son had no choice but to limit his jogging practices.
As a father it was so humiliating not being able to help my son with his very preliminary rights. But then, what could I do? Should I ignore my wife's precautious concerns? Or should I go jogging with him every night? How about on the route commuting back and forth to school? Shall I escort him there too? And if this is the case then, what the government is doing for us?
I remembered the safety we felt in Hamburg. It is true that a nation deserve what they possess. How about the children of that society? Are they condemned to suffer with their coward or selfish adults? who can answer this?
