Rasa News Agency Reports – Ayatollah Naser Makarim Shirazi today in his high level Jurisprudential class talked about narrations relating to pessimism and negative thinking and said if we want people to think good of us we should be clear ad open with people and expressed: “We should start reforms amongst people by first starting it amongst ourselves. A human being should care and loyal to others in order for others to be loyal and caring towards them.”

He said: “Our enemies time to time offer us dialogue and some people get happy from such offers and tell the authorities to start dialogue with them. But we should pay close attention that the enemies have doubled their hatred in all areas towards us and this does not allow us to be optimistic towards them and stretch our loyal hands to them.”

The Islamic Jurist continued saying: “Maybe there will be a point that dialogue would occur, but to be pessimistic towards them is something natural because the enemies have never been caring or loyal towards us and we cannot expect loyalty and care from them either.”

Ayatollah Naser Makarim Shirazi in talking about psychology said if the versus of the Quran and narrations of the Ahlul Bayt, especially the narrations of Imam Ali were gathered it would create a complete series of psychology classes.

In another part of his talks this Islamic jurist talked about the oppressed people of Bahrain being its 2nd anniversary for its uprising and said: “At such a time 2 years ago the uprising of the people of Bahrain started and till now they have given a 100 martyrs in this uprising and around about 1600 Islamic scholars, personalities, youth, children and women are in prison of Al-Khalifa and this number for the small population of Bahrain is not small number at all.”

Ayatollah Makarim Shirazi said: “We really are living in a strange world, in 2 points of the world close to each other two opposites are occurring and those who claim they have democracy and human rights are supporting both of them.”

He added: “In Bahrain the people uprising is for their basic human right which is Shia and Sunni can live alongside each other but decisions are being made on the other side of borders by arrogant powers and these arrogant powers are sending forces to suppress the people uprising.”

The teacher of the Islamic seminary continued saying: “In Syria they are sending forces from outside of Syria to Syria to start a false uprising and it is surprising that these same powers are sending forces inside Bahrain to stop a legitimate uprising by the people of Bahrain and are telling everyone they are defending democracy and human rights.”
