But you can be mad and still love someone.

    Agreed. That’s excellent advice. I try to be a good representative of my people and to act as a counterbalance where I can. As much as I’m capable anyways. Lol

    Sorry my country attacked yours. It’s embarrassing and infuriating to me and many others here. I have some Kurdish family friends from Iran, one hasn’t lived there in a long time but her sister still lives there iirc. I hope you and your family are all safe. I loved your country when I got to visit. It is filled with wonderful and warm people.

      Oh, you visited Iran? That’s amazing. I wish more people were able to travel to Iran, or dared I suppose. There’s so much to see in terms of varied culture, history and nature.

      All Iranians know that most Americans oppose war, and we hold no grudge against you. It’s not on you to apologize, but thank you for doing so all the same. Being a good example for others is the best thing any of us can hope to be.

        I did get to visit, albeit all too briefly. Would love to get more time there. I lived in Jordan for a time and was lucky enough to visit Iran and many other countries in the middle east during more peaceful times. There is so much in that area that’s been destroyed through war that just breaks my heart. I miss wandering the souks and the visiting we did with the people.
