The Joy of Life

I was in a "forest", walking. From afar, I saw a young girl bending down in front of a car. I thought she was looking for something that had fallen from her. Then I saw her standing, and swaying as if she were singing and dancing. When I got close to her, I noticed that she was recording what she was doing on a phone, which she had left in front of the car, playing a song. I proceeded with my walk. After about two hundred meters, I found another girl who was filming herself singing and dancing (actually, like the first one, she was pretending to be singing). It was not hard to know that the two girls were active on social media. When I came out of the forest, the faces, which I saw, were all joy. I will not conceal from you, what I saw today has shocked me! Are they my eyes that insist on capturing joy, or have people in Lebanon regained the conviction that life is always stronger than every collapse and death?! O Lord, grant Lebanon to abide in joy!
