Practice What You Preach

I feel like my parents are increasingly out of touch. I really don't get why they laugh at the deaths of martyrs, like yesterday with the story about the widow. Everyone is making a dedicated sacrifice to our people, to them. Sometimes I feel like even though they are protesting, they are not entirely supportive. I can't stand how much they have been restricting me - a curfew, no playing in the street, I'm not allowed to go to protests. They got so mad when Mehri and I went to protest - I think they just don't like her because she is our maid. They share a lot of the ideas of the bourgeoise sometimes - it's as if they want the dangerous capitalism to continue. I wish they would practice what they preach, but they keep blaming it on the "real world" and that I'm just too young to understand. Well, I've been reading, and I think I have a pretty good idea of our societies problems. If they keep protesting they should have their every day actions back them up, like letting me protest! They should be looking for every opportunity to advance the revolution if they were true supporters. As I always say, "the revolution is like the wheels on a bicycle - if they stop turning, everything falls over."
