“Why” is the first question we start asking and keep asking all the time. And the worst thing is probably to receive no answer to it.
I’m asking to myself a lot of questions:
Why is the world split between poor and rich?
North and south? Occident and orient?
Why is there one god, but many religions telling different stories about Him?
Why people are killing each other even when living in the same country?
Why, after a whole bunch of wars and genocides, the world still hasn’t understood anything?
Why are political leaders doing the exact same errors than in the past?
Why haven’t they learnt anything yet?
Why, on the 21st Century, are so many many people used to live in a war? …
I’ve got no answer. And no one has it.
Sometimes, I even feel guilty. Guilty about the fact that I had a normal childhood, and even didn’t know what was happening elsewhere in the world. Guilty for being aware that every seconds in this world, people are dying without having an answer to their questions. I don’t feel guilty for not having the answers to those millions of questions, but I feel angry about that, and about the fact that a lot of people in the world are not even asking themselves those questions!
Lebanese people have to wake up, start looking at the past, ask themselves questions, and try not to make the past repeat itself. Why Lebanon has almost never known how to live without war? Why is there 3 times more Lebanese living outside of Lebanon than in it? Why are Lebanese still relying on other countries to help them? Lebanon has to ask itself the right questions, because no one is gonna answer it…

Allons, allons, une salve si pessimiste en ce mois d'août où le soleil est à son zénith et le Liban en situation de relative stabilité (à part les allumés de Tarablous)...
Essai culotté:
"Why is the world split between poor and rich?"
A cause de l'éternelle logique de la reproduction sociale et peut être même au delà une survivance de l'évolution des espèce dans le règne humain...
"North and south? Occident and orient?"
Car des spécificités culturelles, cultuelles, philosophiques, bref... anthropologiques persistent. La vrai question est: quelle forme doit prendre ce split? Comment limiter ses effets néfastes.
"Why is there one god, but many religions telling different stories about Him?"
Il n'y a pas un seul Dieu si l'on examine anthropologiquement la multiplicité des croyances et des natures que les peuples et civilisations attribuent à leurs dieux. Mais la plupart des civilisations considèrent que leur Dieu est le seul.
"Why people are killing each other even when living in the same country?"
La volonté d'imposer son propre agenda politique, ou pire, politico-religieux...
"Why, after a whole bunch of wars and genocides, the world still hasn’t understood anything?"
Ibid.
"Why are political leaders doing the exact same errors than in the past?"
Problème de la lenteur du cycle de renouvellement des générations en politique...
"Why haven’t they learnt anything yet?"
Quand ils commencent à apprendre, ils sont rattrapés par l'enjeu que représente leur pays pour ses voisins belliqueux...
"Why, on the 21st Century, are so many many people used to live in a war?"
Religion, ethnic differences and territory mostly... (I am not sayin' it is good reason, just mentionning it)
