Cutting words Why do we look at other countries, the civilised, the developed, the peaceful, the calm, the ambitious, the orderly, the clean, the natural, the happy, and are forced to feel a void and a jealousy? Why does every thought when looking at the state of other nations give rise to an inner feeling of estrangement? Who is destroying Libya? Why do we stay quiet, passive, paralysed? Are we THIS helpless? Its unbelievable. Why is it that when one of us, or 10 of us, or 100 of us try to do something positive to help it doesnt work? Is it because were too weak or dont have the know how or the right partners to make it work? Are there assholes trying to keep us in this disaster? And if there are, then why do we let them? Why are we so weak and unable to make anything work? Why do we let our fellow countrymen or foreign forces destroy us? Do we have no pride or dignity in ourselves? Why do we take so long to respond to events? Why cant we manage situations properly? Can we really blame dictatorship? Can we blame extremists? Why arent we strong? Is there a we anyway? Everyone has a reputation to upkeep and wants to be mentioned in a history book, or be in good standing with a supreme being, without digging deep into the whole mandate that this supreme being gave us by blessing us with Life. How can we let a land like Libya, which by the way has a spirit of its own - separate and different from its inhabitants, die this undignified way? Why do we have an excuse for everything? All well be left with is excuses. At the end of everything (because there will be an end), we will be left with a country that was once one of the greatest capitals of the Mediterranean, that is a barren, grey, monument-less area, with a skyline made of awkward tall run down hotels neighboured by little unfinished grey cement blocks with LG airconditioners breaking down.
