Life is an unpredictable mess. Things go awry when you full expect it and when you least expect it. Planning for the future, though an essential part of life, is one's attempt at organizing an untangled mess of webs. That unpredictability becomes much greater when one is part of a world as chaotic, as brutal, as depressive and as oppressive as life in a country like Iran. There are moments in one's life when the reality of living in such conditions of inhumanity makes all future endeavors feel like an exercise in futility. Not just planning, but life itself becomes one.
