In my house, a malfunction in accessing the television network had helped me abstain since months, from local news, political programs, and others. This is an abstention that I sometimes decide on my own. There is nothing to lose! When I want, I am compensated for this abstention by receiving news websites on my phone. These sites kept relaying the news to me here. What differed is my reading of it. It is said that the news reaches the faraway places, amplified. I know that the world of politics has a lot of deceptions. Those who set the politics in Lebanon know too well how to speak internally and what they want to convey to the outside world. I became convinced here that vices are capable of extending beyond borders. Someone here told me about a report he had read on the subject of angry peoples in the world. The report elevates the people of Lebanon to the first ranks. I did not leave this report without publicly rebuking the deception in it! Oh, if only we would rise from this deep sleep to rage!
