We all laughed at first when Myriam Klink got a vote in yesterday’s presidential elections but if you come to think of it, there’s nothing funny about it. We’re not living in a time of peace and prosperity, we’re struggling at all levels and we’ve been without a president for more than two years and the blame is on those MPs who turned yesterday’s presidential session into a joke.
It’s not funny to vote for Klink when you’re wasting our tax money and not doing your job. It’s not funny to make jokes when we’re living in critical times and the whole region is boiling. Having said that, hosting Klink and giving her further attention is probably the worst possible thing that could have been done. I never imagined I’d see her on Kalam Ennas and her talk yesterday brought politics in Lebanon to a new low.
In all cases, we shouldn’t be worried about her since she’s an Orthodox. The guy who’s seriously worrying me is Rachid Louis Labaky, Lebanon’s GodSent Presidential Candidate. If Trump made it so far, this guy may become our president one day.
I had the same reaction, and the presidential address as well was a complete expected shock as the main topics were war related issues, such as Syria and Israel. We don’t need this shit right now, we don’t need war, we don’t need a president who is way past the point of mental capacity to even work, it’s so pathetic, and yet thousands of people are celebrating? I sometimes wish I was just as dumb as these people because it causes me terrible pain to just have basic human logic, while the air headed majority celebrates.
It is my country, and I love it, but what can we do? If I go and protest, or if me and a thousand friends go protest for a better Lebanon isn’t only a matter of time before one of these politicians sends insiders to come and act like violent protestors and ruin it for everybody? Just like tol3et ri7etkon. Or they find some old Facebook post to smother my name or wtv they can pull on me. I feel hopeless and I feel like Lebanon is hopeless…yesterday a part of me died just like it has been dying ever since I became conscious of what’s going on in our country..
Nothing explains my relationship to Lebanon better than this quote by Arthur Schopenhauer
‘Of how many a man has it not been that hope made a fool of him until he danced into the arms of death’
It was funny.
