Under God's Shadow

By Sudi Behzadpour

I dedicate this book to my children and to all those who are oppressed. Never stay with a person or a situation, hoping that one day they will change. Don't waste a single day of your life trying to change someone or something, and don't tolerate any mistreatment by a person who does not value you. Cry out loud and ask for help, and set yourself free from indignity and humiliation! God doesn't want hardship and suffering for anyone. Don't be afraid! And be courageous! Use the infinite power that God has endowed you with! Don't allow yourself to become a slave to somebody or some people, and don't allow your life to thus get squandered away. When I started writing this book a few years ago, I felt I missed my childhood, and I wanted to chronicle it and write about that beautiful chapter in my life that I always summoned up and thought about. It was a bright spot in the otherwise dark life of mine. But after I wrote parts of the book and got to other chapters of my life story, I realized that I had always been abjectly submissive and a slave to others and that, because of long-time servitude, I had been hypnotized and had completely lost my sense of self. I lived like a machine to serve others, and I felt there was a thick leash around my neck and that I was dragged around without of any free will. I had no power to choose, to decide, or to think on my own. I neglected myself while I always thought about how I could serve and save others so that they would not be devoured by the morass of life. I was without protection or support. My father and mother were the main guilty people who had turned me into a slave.
