He was indeed a wise man, to write something back in 1920s, that applies to our current situation. I’m talking about Khalil Gibran’s “You Have Your Lebanon and I Have My Lebanon” famous writing that I remembered today, behind the political crisis that we’re living it recently. I’m not going to talk about politics or about the Achrafieh bombing, neither about the people who were holding Brazilian flags during the funeral, nor for the people who tried to storm the government headquarters. For me these people do not represent the civilized class, they don’t even deserve to be word of mouth in filling our article’s lines. All I want to say this is not my Lebanon.
An ad was hosting on MTV showing notable Lebanese that live abroad and their achievements, it says “The Lebanese abroad landed on Mars, and the Lebanese in Lebanon are still without electricity” and I wish the electricity was the only problem, endless crisis, which we always hope from our political leaders to find solutions, but as the proverb says “the tongue is boneless”; all we hear are promises, and that’s it. How can this be my Lebanon?
And ever wanted to ask what my Lebanon is? It’s just a dream that never came true since my very first existence in this country, and maybe it won’t. No I’m not hopeless, but disappointed, so let’s keep walking…
