politically speaking

this is a note I wrote about a month ago:


Shame on older men who brain wash new generations, shame on older men who feed young minds their prejudice and hatred. We; the upcoming rulers of this country, the future of Lebanon, are idiots. We let these old washed up prehistorical minds mislead us, we let them divide us, we let them lead us into their mistakes, those same mistakes they made many years ago, those same mistakes that caused us a bloody war, where brothers killed each other for the sake of two men none of them had met, for the sake of a “country” they have been dreaming of for many nights and that is never going to come true, or for the sake of religion; did the crusades teach us nothing, are we so blind that we have forgotten our true past and refuse to see the ugly reality that is smacking us in the face, we must face the fact that we are fighting in the name of a god that praises peace, in order to go to heaven; how can someone be so dumb and not see the paradox in this logic we are following. The entire world is divided by race, religion, belief… but we must unite, be the flaming torch that will lead the world into those dark caves and help them to find tolerance, peace and harmony. But I’m getting too far too fast; we are merely crossing the threshold but my thoughts are in the house. We, the Lebanese people, should be like a fist; united and strong, and no matter how small it is it will still make an impact. Forget what those “leaders” are telling you, don’t let your mind be the slave of your parents for they are a part of history, we should learn from them and not copy them. This inspiration comes from the fact that recently there were elections in my university, elections about politics, and the scenes I have seen are nothing but troubling, there is nothing wrong with competition but politics should stay for the elder and the wise, not for the reckless and foolish. I saw a war igniting when the winner was announced, I saw hatred and anger, and for what? To gain the right to rule over the student council and have no political influence whatsoever? The way I see it: ridicule. Students should be elected because they can work and they are popular not because they side with a political party. Fools could be elected just because they FOLLOW this political side, and sadly that is the state of the whole country. Well, we should elect LEADERS; bring in some new thoughts to this young but mentally old community. The war is coming, and instead of avoiding it, we are arming our young men with hatred in order for them to die in the name of a man they haven’t met and a God who forgot them, and the people are incitement puppets controlled by the media.
