Remember: I will not pray for my country's freedom. I will not beg for my people to be allowed to breathe. I read and learn, because today's darkness grew out of the ignorance and superstition of earlier generations. I will brighten my country's tomorrow with the light of knowledge and a call to action. Because I am not Muslim, not religious, and not superstitious. Because I am Iranian. Long live Iran. #جاویدشاه
