The absents from the demonstration and the sit-in to where

We read in the history about those who ruled the country, especially those who oppressed and spread a lot of corruption in it and in opposite side we read about the reformers who were sincere in their invitation and faced the tyrants by a brave heart then removed them and made the people in rest. And there were supporters and followers for both sides –the tyrants and the reformers- and this matter is continuous in all ages, once for these and once for those. We want to say in this essay the nature of the supporters for both sides and compare between them then the matter will be clear by the following

One: we find that the supporters of the unjust and the tyrant always have weak hearts and almost they are from the cowards and from those who have a consumed thoughts which the owner of them need a new physiologic and psychological side to rise his head or he stays under the soil without breath and motion

Two: it is not necessary that the supporter of the unjust and the tyrant be rich and famous but a lot of them live under the poverty level and the large social economic problems but he doesn’t be able on the positive movement to condemn the injustice whereas he dreams that a solution will come for him from the heaven without pains and misery, so he remains on his state, and the motive to press on the unjust and the exposure to his dissatisfaction are not found

Three: a lot of them believe what they heard from the tyrants from the promises and lies that the purpose from them are the anesthetization and the procrastination in order to be able on them and to deem weak them widely and they took this belief as support to lean on it and to dream by it the coming of the changing and the reformation

Four: there is large effect in their soul for the fear on the position, job and salary because they connected their existence by this matter and they thought that wherefore this, they die and their families vagabond therefore to keep this state they support the tyrant and the unjust and they stand against any reformative movement from any side

Five: some of habits and natures in our society are negative, maybe the other societies less than us in this side, from them what we called (the familial prevention) which come from the paterfamilias as the father, brother, mother, ….etc. this prevention curtail the option of person in response with any changing motive that clash with the unjust whereas they fear on them from the persecution or the prison or the killing even this fear is in the intellect world only and it has no place in the external world

These are five points and there are another points we will mention them later if God wills. You can inverse what we mentioned to know the nature of the supporters of the reformers

The wonderful thing that whenever a successor comes, he doesn't learn a lesson from the ancestor and he doesn’t ask himself that he belongs to any side? Now, the reformer presented his program which will stand by it against the corruption, so did the absents from this program ask themselves that why they are not existent with those who sit-in? Did they think that the one who sit-in is the corruptor and the ruler is the righteous?! So do you not ponder
