Mea Culpa

I admit I was wrong.

Although I expected the worst, nothing happened. The demonstration was democratic and peaceful. Thank God and Nasrallah and Aoun for that!

The simple fact that hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets again without incident should be applauded, especially after the Achrafieh debacle.
Christians and Muslims demonstrating together for whatever cause is good, however what will be excellent is for Christians and Muslims building a prosperous Lebanon together.

Come to think about it, this demonstration should humble Saad Hariri and Walid Jumblat and make them seriously think about ending corruption and spurring development ...maybe. However, I do not think that an ex-jet setter like Saad Hariri or a war criminal like Jumblat care much about the greater mass of poor Lebanese, except for those who call them Sheikh or Beik.

Unfortunately, the same goes for the General and the Sayyed and all the remaining "national dialogue" leaders.

What happened today showed that a great many Lebanese are fed up! They want a better life and they deserve it after what they went through the past 30 years.

The current government should act fast and revive the economy and prove to all those who called for its resignation today that they were wrong, like I was yesterday.

Zadig,


the Beauty of reality is in its nuances. To be able to see them we must distance ourselves from judgement and maintain an "observer"'s emotional Status while assessing the situation. I applaud your more balanced and nuanced post. And looking forward for a more "moderate" and nuanced-seeking Zadig in the Future.

Be Happy,

Bodhi.
