Obstinacy and authority!
Ahmed Seif Hashed
When I was young, I was fond of eating dirt.. Oh my God, how delicious and delicious dirt was!! And the most pleasant thing is to do this in secret and hidden, away from my mother’s eyes.. As soon as my mother discovered the matter, she would hurry to hit me even before she took the dirt out of my mouth, and sometimes the punishment was delayed until the moment of my exposure after a short time.. However, as soon as I find A second chance to repeat the stubborn act.. and the beating is repeated, and stubbornness is repeated and I do not repent..
The “political authority” certainly does not resemble my mother.. What my mother did was undoubtedly out of the great love for her torment, which she loves more than herself, and out of fear of panic for his health, which definitely affected her health.. As for what the “political authority” does, it has nothing to do with anything. Love, and it has nothing to do with health, or perhaps with what is benign, rather it takes place with motives of subjugation, domestication, and perhaps enslavement.. Comparing sometimes is unjust, and it may seem in its silliness to waste the mind, especially when the difference between them is superstitious and horrific..
Perhaps the similarity between my mother and “political authority” is in the use of repression.. but the right prevents even scorn from the mother, no matter how old she is, and no matter how much authority we have attained, and indeed we must respect and honor her with great morals.. while the “authority” oppresses and tyrannizes the people. .. It is true that both of them are suppressed within the framework of their jurisdiction, but the “political authority” that has no legitimacy came through domination and rape, or by deception and deception.. As for my mother, her legitimacy is from the legitimacy of my existence in the first place.. However, the most important question: Why do we rebel against The mother, who is the most deserving of obedience and submission, and we do not rebel against “authority” – that is, “authority” – as long as it is unjust and tyrannical?!!
It is true that my mother and “authority” share a facet of ignorance, which is an analogy with the difference, but my mother’s ignorance is justified, and it is part of a reality, the responsibility for changing it rests with the “authority” first; Which must oppose and undermine ignorance, so what about the mind and “authority” that it intends to devote, not only in nursery and initial upbringing, but also in schools and universities, and relies on it in its policies to a large extent..
The “authority” believes that repression is the only option, or the first option, to obtain immediate results, but the results often come as shocking, or disappointing, and the worst is that the “authority” is stubborn and intransigent towards its people, and does not recognize or acknowledge the mistakes it commits Only after she has paid a cost greater than the mistake by her stubbornness, and the victim has inflicted something worse than him.

The “political authority” and its religious group, which has a deep mind in the past, exaggerate their fanaticism in favor of the closed society, strict in its customs, traditions and culture. Rather, it displays its pride in this closedness, and deliberately imposes and devote it, under the title of preserving the customs and traditions of the authentic community, and in the name of authenticity and defect, immunization and emphasis on the past, And on everything that is obsolete, backward and worn out, and this is at the expense of the future that we seek.
The “authority” and its religious group live in a state of contradiction and complete schizophrenia, and a blatant lack of reconciliation with themselves, as they are strict in their morals, and exercise their contracts on society, and are strict about small details, oppressing women who do not wear a veil, dealing strictly with those who wear a waist belt, and assaulting advertisements The hairdresser, which it considers to be a deep outburst, and a terrible moral fall, and thus turns the authority in one of its faces into a strict morality police regarding the issues it adopts, such as its position on women’s rights and freedoms, mixing, fashion, youth clothes, and shaving their heads, and adds to that what is loose Such as the “soft war” in which it lists everything that it likes, or that it wants to suppress, prohibit and criminalize under that uncontrolled heading.
On the other hand, this “authority” blatantly abandons its responsibilities towards its citizens in what is more important, such as giving up the responsibility to pay the salaries of employees, failing to secure health for its citizens, and abandoning its obligations towards most services or rights, including education as well as its advancement, after being I messed up most of it..
Modesty in the authority of the religious community is not an industry of consciousness, but rather formalities that it consecrates and deals with strictly.. a black, heavy and blind tent, various social contracts, repression and narrowing, the reproduction of the waste of thought, outdated perceptions, the printing of books and yellow publications, and other loads that carry burdens. On the shoulders of the woman and besieged her..
The power is considered by the heavy dark reality, the guardianship of the morals of society, and the restriction of personal and public liberties among its priorities and justifications for its existence, while it abandons, in return and in installments or the payment system, all the responsibilities that it had to carry out its work and its duties, which are from the core.
Thus, you find the “authority” and its group transform into a morality police, protecting “morals” and imposing its guardianship on people in the name of the sacred, instead of serving its people, and improving their economic, social, cultural, and scientific level..

Reality is distorted and plagued by our diseases, our complexes, and our destructive stubbornness to the other and the self.. Stubbornness began with us from our early childhood, grew up with us, and may remain stuck in our depths until we reach the lowest age – if we reach it – just as the abnormal education in our society begins with us from the nursery, and the care continues with us. Distortions during the period of upbringing and adolescence, until they reach the bone and the core, and their harm extends from the person to the society.. The authority of a group that despises song and accuses poetry, even if the person reconciles with himself, and even turns him by accusing it into a demon, its duty to eradicate it with awareness and practice, even if it is ascetic..
The “authority” became obstinate when all of it, with its equipment, money, influence, media, and means of repression, rallied in the practice of subjugating a simple family like the family of “Iqbal al-Hakimi”, just because “Iqbal” and her family decided – one day – to demand an end to the crimes that are being committed against them. By the men of the “authority”, exposing the tyranny practiced by them, and asking them to stop these crimes, and to resist the injustice that befalls them and the people.. The authority infiltrates with more stubbornness and fabricates charges against the “Iqbal” family and throws it into its prisons, and even transgresses against anyone who helps them as well. ; To administer her outrageous crimes and prevent them from being revealed, which is a clumsy and irresponsible stubbornness from her.
The stubbornness that we acquire, or that we impress upon, can turn into a destructive force that destroys the stubborn one himself, and destroys those around him, and its effects may extend to society. The policy of oppression, tyranny and stubbornness in it, will only bring about everything that is obsolete, distorted and abnormal.
If you make a mistake at home, you will be beaten, and if you make a mistake in school, you will be beaten. In fact, beating is one of the important punishments even in our legislation. More than this, the punitive policy in our legislation, which is heavy with pain and rubble, is not based on reforming and rehabilitating the offender; To integrate into society, but mostly based on revenge by punishing the offender.
It is more useful and beneficial to turn our stubbornness into a challenge that produces a great creative energy that enriches science and knowledge, in a manner that serves people and the world for good, virtue and prosperity.. Many scientists, inventors and discoverers, and the greats of history worked to adapt their stubbornness and direct it in a creative manner in the service of people and humanity. So they gained greatness and immortality, while there are many criminals and butchers of history – because of their stubbornness and hardening of their opinion – they destroyed the offspring and the litter with their wars.. they destroyed themselves and their peoples..
As for me, I am trying to transform the affliction with stubbornness, which makes some of its presence in me, into a creative energy and a supportive stance for the oppressed, defending their violated rights, and standing up to the authority that intends to subjugate, humiliate them, domesticate them, and subject them to it and its might.
