Necessity of devotee culture relations with society by theater (1)
In the name of the one who ordered to be, and it became and the world came to be from not being in the arena. This birth was a performance of his everlasting power for those who can think about it. This occurrence was a long story of being, coming, not only coming and finally from stability of memories in the most beautiful book of performance which is written for human being existence. He gave it to his most honest people to develop it among the others as a trust. What is most obvious during humans life and research is his way of being stable and everlasting.

This occurrence was a long story of being, coming, not only coming and finally from stability of memories in the most beautiful book of performance which is written for human being existence. He gave it to his most honest people to develop it among the others as a trust. What is most obvious during human's life and research is his way of being stable and everlasting. Maybe it’s because of humans being God's deputy. But physical everlasting in the world is something impossible as God's orders: every creature in the world should experience dying so, bodily outward destroy is commanding physically for everything there is, especially for human beings. So, we should find a way to stop this destroying in each aspect of life. Enormous thoughts and researches are finished which except eternity for thoughts and it’s referred to the fields which says there is no other eternity. So, for escaping of external death for human, they should try to find a way to ever last their thoughts which they obtained during periods of living. Most of God's verses have rung the same alarm bell by indirect words that are trying to find a way to make your thoughts everlasting. But this eternity for thought is just one side of the subject what is the other side saying? What is it good for?
As history proves many thoughts have come to people and left them, for the people who are born on this planet. But the point is what are the thoughts which could be compatible and conformed as time passes.
Which could maintain this everlasting forever and what is the secret for this everlasting of thoughts? How its specifications are standard and balanced together? The other points are that many of these thoughts could walk along and being improved during history and show them in each century differently. But are all of them evaluated in the same degree? How much are these thoughts penetrated in the soul and mind of societies? What is the price they have paid to have an everlasting thought? What are the factors which will survive in a thought? This last point is the most important feature of thoughts survival which we will come back to it in the remainder of this debate. Each thought is born when it could find a way to come out of darkness most of the times each opening way will destroy the other ways forcefully. In more simple form it means something must be broken so, the other thing could take its head out of the egg shell. Thoughts which are some how effected on history hardly and alternated it. Each one of these thoughts are also born because of a great change and or revolution. Determining it is a great occurrence which has happened so that special point of view which was effective in all social manners of human has been existed.
Because this discussion is about sacrificing culture and martyrdom and describing it as words of theater, so I will continue this debate pointing and having patterns of Karbala event.
I hope this could be a help for providing cultural features in the society, some how Karbala event seems as a historical war in human's life such as other war events which are started in a point and finished in other point and after a while it should be delivered to memorial museums like other wars or some of its defending ideas or factors should be used in other wars.
But as we see, it actually doesn't happen this way. This event turns to a general and global form and moves along human thoughts during different historical periods, why? This is a question which, if answered correctly it will open the secret of this debate which is how we could obtain culture of sacrificing and martyrdom without shouting slogans in performance texts and theater. As a historic judge Aashoura event is not an event which has happened in a morning and finished in a sunset. Because its cultural effects are shown right after this war, precisely in its continuance for new facts which are also shown, just like grass which grows out of solid minds after winter in order to understand these points, first of all you should get to know the people who were involved in this event. How did they have involved? What were their most concerned points in this involvement? How they performed these thoughts back then? Were those kinds of people who had to be involved considered about life, so they could stop themselves from dying? Or did their deep points of view and beliefs conduct them to this involvement? If so!? Some how they showed us and the rest of the people their responsibilities which should be done also refers to 8 years of holy defense.
As historians and people involved have written about this point, because no other alternative would be accepted. Because people do accept how to choose their own way of dying so their believes could be stable in this way.
Karbala's leader has pointed to this subject at first: if my ancestor's beliefs are developed only by my death so swords come and hug me.
The leader in this movement is thinking, how to make everlasting beliefs which were provided before him and should be extended. These are the beliefs of many people who have been injured and who has given them their lives.
If we look a little bit further we find out this event will turn to a source, which is the root of creation in general. In fact this is the first episode and the most important feature of the culture, for this event is happening in a second episode. That’s when this way of thinking is generated which is disastrous and events were involved to do so, to eliminate them, there should be an alternative. If it would be considered in any other way, all the difficulties of this event will be useless. If we look at Aashoura as a pattern in martyrdom culture and maintaining goals which is for sure, we will see at the very first moments which this event is finished, its publicity was started by people who have survived the ordeal.
Even the first publicities were for those who were witnessing the event; it means they were in the middle of this disaster either in positive side or the negative, but far from challenging. I have to consider over common events between Karbala and what happened during 8 years in the holy defense. So when we reach the results for this debate, the subject could be understood more easily. There are some in depth books which are “This is our duty, brother" " Bamo" " Tender" published by foundation of maintaining works and values of holy defense which should be considered with more depth and thought. The axis of these debates is about the beginning days of the forced war for the army, which had a new formation. In attracting new powers to defend these national beliefs which are gained after passions faces difficulties. Even in providing equipment to defend themselves they have been faced with acts such as they are a foreign force and not Iranian. In the initial days which Hossein Ebn Ali arrived , this publicity point was distributed, all over that Hossein and his followers were as foreign forces and Aba Abdelah himself had to start discussions so they could understand his purpose for this movement. Meanwhile he asked these people to start cooperating with this revolution. Later it became obvious many of these people who were bowing down to him did not view Hossein Ebn Ali as a Moslem at all. Maybe you have also heard about this issue or will be hearing: when you were being honored Ali (God bless him) was being beaten in the altar, yet many people claimed was Ali praying at all? Well, these are results of enemy's good publicities and their way of reaching victory too. In the Khoramshahr event when martyr Jahan Ara received no help from either side, as witnesses who survived this event say and refer to published documents, he had to be inspired and acted as a religious leader’ publicity tricks needed.
So, he gave a commission to Khoramsharian sisters and asked them to be at Imam's service and to be the voice of Khoramshahr's innocent people for the Imam. These sisters had the task of passing the distance between Khoramshahr and Tehran and every where deemed were in Jomeh praying ceremonies and let the others hear this voice of innocence. So, maybe they could receive help and Khoramshahr would survive. If we look at it as a performance for this issue we will see this publicity as a street theater which has its own place in performance. As your honored Zeynab (God bless her) started uncovering after Karbala's event in their Karavan and described his brothers goals and movements and so by that time people could be aware of that , does what really happened derive from exposures that many revenging revolutions to Hossein Ebn Ali's blood are formed during this time. Explaining this issue and its stability is because the issue has turned to a traditional performance and gets the advantage of all the performing options to describe the event and that this issue penetrates in people's soul. In narrating events people have written, producer and actor at the same time, this tradition and the different performances stay in people memories, this is why the bitterness of the Khoramshahr issue and maybe other frontiers during first days of defense had became intense. During the defense the enemy try's to show its existence as colorless, this is why maybe some friends are against this defense unknowingly. This is how this thought takes form in our minds and is this real war or just a simple frontier battling?
