A Country Not Lethargy

My wife read what I had written a few days ago about our clinical death in Lebanon (26/1). She asked me: “Have you heard the joke people are circulating today?” She did not wait for me, but continued to say: "The entire Lebanese people are surprised that the entire Lebanese people are still silent (about what is happening in the country)"! I love meaningful jokes that seek to correct a defect in us. Their ability to make us laugh is a kind of recognition of the intelligence, objectivity and love for the best of the person who has come up with it. This is a tribute to him who has launched them. The context is not to talk about jokes. However, you know that the joke, even if there is some exaggeration in it, does not detract from the truth. He who has come up with this joke knows that there are people among us who are screaming in the wilderness of this country, and he knows that there are people whose silence is a stance, and he knows the hardest thing and that is that there are people who have no decision other than that of their leaders. Should I weep or laugh? The country is not saved by lethargy!
