take it easy

Last night I was back home at 10 P.M. I was very tired and really late. I was in Tamadon cafe at vali Asr Street. It's placed in the center of the city. I like this cafe and I'll write about it in another post. I took a bus to get home. Streets were very really crowded. All people were late and there were a lot of people on the bus. in my country each person pay 20 tomans (1000 tomans= 1$) for bus fares. It's almost free. By 2 or 3 years ago, transportation had been free but now some buses take money instead of bus fares. It's very disorderly. Driver of that night was very wonderful. He was addicted. He filled the bus with us, Like a flock of sheep. Then he closed the doors and started collecting money from us. We knew that we shouldn't give him money because he was an official driver who was an employee of government. our bus fares was just 20 tomans, but all of us accepted this and gave him money easily. Like other things that we accept easily. He drove with high speed and we were on the verge of falling off but we laughed. We are a mad nation. Nobody protests. Why? I'd asked myself this question several times before last night. Why don't we have any demonstration? Why did we give money to that man? We never protest, never. Was Islamic revolution in 1978 happened in Iran? What is this nation? It's very wonderful. A man drove us and we were about to fall off the bus. TAKE IT EASY. It'll pass too.
