Two things make a person take action, make decisions, and implement them:
- Faith and Belief: When a person decides to do something based on their faith and belief, they undoubtedly put all their effort and energy into making it successful, abandoning laziness, idleness, and procrastination. In this endeavor, they will do whatever is required and will not look back; because such decisions stem from strong faith and belief that create extraordinary events and showcase the greatest results and benefits in the shortest time.
Also, thru faith-based and conviction-driven decisions, unity and cohesion are established, and within its circle, countless believers and adherents gather to keep this bright candle burning. Also, over time, its roots grow stronger and it gets closer to yielding results day by day.
- Personal Interests: Personal interests can be summarized in two cases:
A: Position and Rank;
B: Money and Wealth.
A: Position and Rank: This situation arises when a movement comes to power and appoints individuals to positions based on need and necessity, using them as tools, and extends their tenure as long as they remain efficient and obedient.
B: Money and wealth: This matter is always important, and many people do anything to obtain and possess it; because money and wealth guaranty comfort and fulfilll needs.
Sometimes a person relinquishes their position and status, freeing themselves from the confines of limitations; however, they never consider themselves free from the need for wealth and riches, as they require money and resources to meet life’s needs and navigate its stages.
Now we must analyze the equation of how much the fleeing opponents in the past, by relying on the throne of power and governance, were entangled in these two matters and what efforts they made and what they sacrificed to obtain wealth and resources and to achieve positions and ranks!
As previously mentioned, a person may not seek to attain a position, but they can never refrain from acquiring and accumulating money and wealth.
Now, this very situation has led to the exiled opponents engaging in activities and media propaganda under various titles and addresses, each beating the drum of establishing a movement or party from every corner to introduce themselves as possessing dissenting thoughts and ideas, in order to gain recognition and financial support.
In the same way, the glimmers of hope that had once been ignited in the hearts of people by such freeloaders and mercenaries were revealed with the collapse of their false palaces of deceit and hypocrisy. It became clear to everyone that this group of mercenaries did not work for the nation, but for their own bellies, to gather wealth for themselves from the bountiful and generous table of the noble nation, to steal gold, and to amass riches.
Although the air of their rooftops has turned cold and the house of their hearts has become dark, and they have become beggars and wanderers in different countries, they still do not lessen their greed and do everything to attract the attention of this one and please that one, so they can earn their daily bread and bring a forbidden morsel to their families’ tables.
This very greed and avarice have caused them to not refrain from scheming, plotting, and defaming each other even in their own ruined world, to break the bowl of blame over their own heads, to speak the naked truths among themselves, and to place the burden of blame on another’s shoulders.
From this murky and turbulent sea, the enemies of this country also make the most of it, throwing morsels tainted with espionage and treachery in front of the hungry like them, seeking to gain advantages for themselves. They use every fleeing opponent as a pawn, and when he becomes useless and their demands from him are met, they discard him without wasting time or hesitation and look for a new trend.
All these factors have come together to create an atmosphere filled with distrust and fragmentation among the fleeing opponents; each one is looking for a pretext to achieve something for themselves, and every day one is disgraced, another is accused of treason, and a third becomes the target of the media.
