In 2015 I stumbled upon the empathic reaction of Iranians on 9/11. From the article that had photos and cites from credible international newspapers to back it up, I browsed more on the blog and was fascinated by the photos. This was really an eye opening experience for me, understanding that we should not base our full view on news programs on TV, and I started to read more travel blogs to learn from travellers about foreign countries. The original article was this one: https://theotheriran.com/2015/09/12/irans-exceptional-reacti... I can recommend everyone to skim the photos, covering many aspect of Iranians lives that we cannot imagine.

I had a Iranian girl sitting next to me in one of my classes during the Iranian hostage crisis. I can not not think of her sitting there in class as students would go off about what they wanted to do to Iran.

Drove home to me that the small groups of people that run all the various countries have their agendas and spats with each other that have little to do with the interests of the populous.
